Halo is looking for a Software Engineer to join our team and help grow the platform from early-stage product/market fit to massive scale. While the opportunity in front of us is large - the $2 trillion global R&D market - your work will also help accelerate scientific innovations that impact our world.

What You'll Do

As a Software Engineer you'll build new features, instrument those features and report on their impact, and improve our product development cycle.

  • You'll work alongside self-starters interested in solving real-world problems and streamlining the inefficiencies of external partnering for Fortune 500 companies
  • Take point on complex product initiatives, decompose them into smaller pieces, and run them to completion with minimal supervision
  • Design flexible, maintainable code to execute against the vision and roadmap
  • Safeguard code quality on your team, reviewing others' code with an eye to performance and maintainability
  • Work closely with designers and product managers to distill complex business problems into elegant technical solutions
  • Collaborate with a close-knit engineering team that ships new code into production multiple times a week.

Who you are:

Our tech stack is primarily Ruby on Rails and React. We also use Redis, Heroku, Postgres, and Typesense.

  • 4+ years of experience writing software using Ruby on Rails AND React and strong engineering background
  • A love of simple, well-tested code that is easy to extend and hard to break
  • The ability to convey technical ideas in common terms to business partners, product managers, designers, and engineers alike
  • Understanding of performance tradeoffs, load balancing, and operational issues
  • Knowledge of professional software engineering practices & best practices for full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, continuous deployments, testing, and operations
  • Proven ability to handle ambiguity and competing priorities, managing multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
  • A willingness to wear different hats that are related but adjacent to your core role
  • A passion for product development and an eagerness to learn and grow within a dynamic startup environment.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with an ability to work cross-functionally and communicate with both technical and non-technical team members.

Nice to Have:

  • You have a science-related degree or industry experience in science or health.
  • You have worked for companies with products like applicant tracking systems, b2b marketplaces, CRMs, or project management tool.
  • You've been an instrumental player on an early startup team before.

What we offer:

  • Share in the upside. Early employees have an outsized impact on a startup's success. It's only fair that you receive meaningful equity in return.
  • Donate to research. Make a donation to scientific research you care about and we'll match your donation dollar-for-dollar.
  • Volunteer for research. Participate in a research study through ResearchMatch, a nonprofit funded by the NIH, and get a $200 bonus check.
  • Stay healthy. We don't ever want your health to be a source of stress and offer top-of-the-line medical, dental, and vision benefits.
  • Escape for the Winter. From December to March, Halo will fly you anywhere in the country to escape the cold and get some Vitamin D.
