Albert helps chemists change the world by building technology that understands how they work. As chemists ourselves, we know whatit’slike when softwaredoesn’twork the way you do — stuck with systems built by people who never spent a dayatthe bench.That’swhy we created Albert OS, the first AI-native operating system for materials science, designed to remove every obstacle between curiosity and discovery.
We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Regulatory team and set the technical direction for the systems that make scientific data trustworthy, structured, and globally compliant.What you'll doOwn the technical architecture of core regulatory services: Safety Data Sheet generation, rule engine, substance data, and third-party regulatory integrations for enterprise partners across global marketsDefine engineering standards for correctness, clarity, and long-term maintainability across the Regulatory team, and hold that bar through design reviews, code reviews, and architectural guidanceDrive spec-first engineering culture: author and review technical specs, treat data correctness as a first-class concern, and set the example for how the team approaches ambiguous problemsOwn architectural decisions on regulatory systems in close partnership with Product and Customer SuccessLead regulatory triage and scoping conversations, translating complex, ambiguous requirements into structured delivery plans, and owning execution with minimal overheadDesign and implement scalable backend services in Node.js and TypeScript on AWSDesign and build agentic workflows to orchestrate data across systemsMentor senior engineers and raise the technical ceiling of the teamWhat you bringBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience12+ years of backend engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership at scopeDeep expertise in Node.js (preferred), Python, or TypeScriptHands-on experience with AWS: Lambda, ECS/EKS, DynamoDB, RDS, API GatewayStrong grasp of data pipeline concepts, ETL/ELT workflows, and SQL/NoSQL database governanceExperience designing and building agentic workflows to orchestrate data across systemsFluency with AI-assisted development tools (Cursor or similar)Strong written communication: you document decisions, not just codeComfortable with high autonomy: you create clarity, not escalationsNo regulatory background required.
