We are passionate about democratizing science communication in order to accelerate scientific discovery and understanding. We're looking for amazing people to help create the world’s go-to-place and platform where science is communicated. Come join us!
This is a big, ambitious goal. We’re looking for passionate product minded engineers who are motivated by obsessing over customer problems and building products to solve them in a collaborative team environment. By joining us, you’ll get an opportunity to collaborate closely with product managers, designers and scientists to ship products and features that equip our users with the necessary tools to communicate science faster.
We’re hiring Senior Software Engineers across all our teams to join our mission in democratizing science communication.

They own Graphing and Analysis, the Poster Builder feature, and innovation of new use cases to expand BioRender core functionality.
Enterprise team: The Enterprise team’s mission is to build a world-class and intuitive experience for scientists and their teams to use and collaborate in BioRender (researchers, admins, and others). The features include signup, onboarding, file organization, collaboration, payments, account management and more.
10x Figure Gen (AI Product + Personalization): The mission of this new team is to dramatically reduce the effort it takes scientists to create figures in BioRender from hours to minutes, saving scientists a billion hours a year annually. Leveraging AI, this team will help supercharge our vision by empowering every scientist to be an incredible storyteller.
Other teams: We’re looking to expand our core product areas and are going to be setting up several new full stack teams in the next 6-9 months that will focus on product expansion.
