About this role

Software Engineer Menlo Park, California, United States About Periodic Labs We are an AI + physical sciences lab building state of the art models to make novel scientific discoveries. We are well funded and growing rapidly. Team members are owners who identify and solve problems without boundaries or bureaucracy. We eagerly learn new tools and new science to push forward our mission. About the Role At Periodic Labs, our scientists don't just design experiments - they direct an automated materials synthesis lab that runs around the clock. Behind that lab is a system that has to work: scheduling dozens of instruments, tracking every sample from precursor to characterization, and orchestrating multi-step synthesis pipelines without dropping a single data point. As our software engineer, you'll work with the engineering lead to build the orchestration systems that make all of this possible. You'll scale the scheduling, workflow, and data provenance systems that coordinate furnaces, dispensers, diffractometers, and more - turning scientific intent into fully attributable, reproducible outcomes at scale. This is a full-stack, production-grade role. You'll work across Python backends, React interfaces, and cloud infrastructure to ship systems that run reliably with minimal intervention. You'll work closely with our engineering lead and directly alongside scientists in the lab - understanding where things break, and building the systems that make them not break. What You'll Do - Own and evolve the platform that orchestrates our automated synthesis lab - scheduling instruments, managing workflows, and tracking samples end-to-end - Build workflow orchestration for multi-step
