Senior Software Engineer - C++ Austin, TX - In-Person

Antibiotic resistance kills more people each year than HIV and malaria combined. Combining single-cell analysis with machine learning, Pattern Bioscience is building the first "culture-free" diagnostic systems in the industry that can identify bacterial infections and determine which antibiotics will work in hours instead of days. The system software is core to the product.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own and advance that software. The codebase has history; part of the job is understanding it well enough to extend it without breaking things that matter. You'll work across a multidisciplinary team consisting of firmware engineers, data scientists, and biologists, operating at the intersection of software and physical systems.

You should apply if you:
• Are an expert in C++ and fluent enough in Python to work across the stack
• Are at home in Linux and comfortable with Docker
• Have experience exposing C++ APIs to other languages
• Have dealt with hardware interfaces, timing constraints, or real-time data pipelines
• Have worked with distributed systems and large, complex datasets
• Have inherited a non-trivial codebase and made it better

Requirements:
• 5+ years of industry C++ experience
• Strong fundamentals in computer science and multi-threaded development
• Startup experience is a plus (small team, high individual ownership, fast iteration)

Key Details

• Location: Austin, TX (In-Person)

A software hub with a vibrant culture and no personal income tax, recently seeing a surge in available talent from major industry expansions.
