Your Impact at LILA Scientists shouldn't have to context-switch between a dozen tools to go from hypothesis to result. We're building the platform that makes this a reality — and we need engineers who want to solve problems no one has solved before. We're hiring Sr Principal / Principal Software Engineers to design the agents, interfaces, and platform integrations that let researchers seamlessly collaborate with AI. About The Team The Application Team sits at the center of LILA — the integration point where Machine Learning, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Software become one AI-native experience that carries a scientist from hypothesis to experiment to breakthrough results. AI isn't a feature here — it's the architecture. Agent frameworks, tools, and LLM orchestration are core primitives, not bolt-ons. The problems are genuinely hard. Connecting AI to automated lab workflows, ML pipelines, and multi-domain knowledge graphs means inventing patterns, not copying them. You'll learn domains you never expected. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with lab scientists and ML engineers means your technical surface area grows fast. You'll ship things that matter. The tools you build accelerate research timelines from months to days. If you want to build at the intersection of AI and science, move fast without breaking trust, and grow into the kind of engineer who can architect systems that don't exist yet — we want to talk. What You'll Be Building Design able to explain complex ideas to diverse audiences. Problem Solving: Proven ability to take ownership of complex backend challenges, balancing trade-offs between scalability, performance, and maintainability. Bonus Points For Applied AI Engineering: Experience building with AI agents, graph-based workflows, tool-use protocols (MCP), RAG pipelines, or LLM orchestration frameworks. Cloud strong understanding of Kubernetes and containerization, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Acti
