Software Engineer

Northstar Bioworks is growing and adding a Software Engineer to our San Francisco operation.

About Northstar Bioworks

Northstar Bioworks is a family-owned technology and biotech business based in San Francisco. Founded in 2021, we run 2 locations in the SF Bay Area and employ a tight team that values doing the work well over scale.

About the role

You'll design, build, and ship features across our product: writing clean, tested code, reviewing teammates' pull requests, and debugging issues in production. You'll work with product and design to break down requirements into technical tasks, weigh trade-offs out loud, and estimate honestly. You'll also carry your share of maintenance work: improving performance, paying down technical debt, and keeping the deployment pipeline healthy so the team can ship confidently.

What you will bring

You bring solid fundamentals in data structures, APIs, and at least one modern language, plus the habit of writing code others can read. You ask questions early, take feedback well, and care about whether the feature actually solves the user's problem, not just whether it compiles.

Send us your resume and a short note. We review applications on a rolling basis.
