Day to Day and Year 1

• Our team splits their time on average 30% in meetings like standups, strategy sessions, and brainstorms, and 70% hands-on work, be it designing, coding, testing and debugging, or code reviews.
• Partner with non software stakeholders such as the Hardware, manufacturing, Product and Biology teams to outline requirements and design for new processes to build into the Volta instrument. 
• Facilitate the successful launch of the Volta system and participate as a key player early on in the company’s evolution.
• Design, develop, test, and implement code for the new processes, then iterate with various interdisciplinary partners to ensure we meet KPIs.
• Influence improvements for next generation biology systems to both improve quality, features, complexity and reduce cost.
• Identify new data points to capture for performance measurement, maintain data accuracy, and continuously improve outcomes in a data-driven way.
• Facilitate hardware bring up and failure analysis.  Regularly getting your hands dirty on hardware


Within 3 months you’ll… Have completed onboarding, ramped into the code base and fully understand our product and opportunity. You should be providing mentorship, code review, and technical influence to the team. You’ll collaborate with cross functional peers and senior leadership to outline the immediate priorities for Callisto software development, and start executing on them.


By 6 months you’ll… Craft the 12mo roadmap for Callisto capabilities with the product and biology teams, and be actively supporting architectural decisions and technical conversations at a strategic level. You will also begin influencing software development practices and hygiene.  Be participating in hiring decisions, onboarding fellow engineers, and shipping multiple new chemical process capabilities to Callisto’s software.


At 12+ months you’ll… Continued software development and improvements.  Influence of future systems designs including SW pipelines, SW infrastructures, device SW architectures, and hardware component selection such as motor controllers, MCUs, sensors, and computing systems.  Influence continuous improvement to the organization’s software best practices.
