Who We Are:

Strateos has reimagined laboratories as smart data generation centers with the industry’s first Cloud Lab Automation-as-a-Service Platform. Strateos enables scientists to design, run, and analyze experiments achieving new and faster scientific discoveries. Our mission is to create new knowledge driven by data, computation, artificial intelligence, automation software, and high-throughput robotics with the goal of fundamentally advancing the life sciences.

• Our remote control and automated cloud labs are accessible from a web browser enabling scientists around the world to easily access and control small and large molecule, cell and gene therapy and synthetic biology workflows.
• Our smart lab facility design-build services and lab automation software enables organizations to control their own scientific instruments and laboratories locally and worldwide, schedule workflows and manage their scientific data.

Our team:

One of the core offerings of the Strateos platform is the automation of scientific experiments.  Automation begins with software sending commands to instruments vs scientists manually operating those instruments. Connect is responsible for the software which interacts directly with the instruments as well as managing the 50+ services which interact with our 50+ supported instruments. Scientific instruments are complex and the interfaces are varied, as such work on the Connect team is technically complex as well as critical for Strateos’ continued success.

The Connect team is currently 6 members with plans to expand. In terms of team processes and structures we operate in a loose agile model and with a relaxed but get it done culture.
