adaptyv - Forward Deployed Engineer

Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland - Hybrid1mo ago

In Office EMEA Pharmaceuticals Software Engineer Frontend Engineer Python TypeScript Claude

Requirements

• Strong software engineer. You write production code (Python and/or TypeScript), design clean APIs and integrations, and can own a system end to end. • Customer-facing instinct. You're energized by working directly with users, translating a vague need into a concrete technical plan, and shipping something they actually use. • Fast and autonomous. You parachute into an unfamiliar codebase or pipeline, figure out what matters, and get a working integration live without waiting for a spec. • AI-native builder. It's 2026 — you build with coding agents like Claude Code as a default, and you have sharp judgment about what they produce. • API and integration experience. You've built or consumed real APIs, handled auth, webhooks, retries, and messy real-world data flows between systems. • Comfortable with ambiguity. Every customer's stack is different; you like that. • Interest in biology, protein design, or ML for science is a strong plus — you don't need a bio background, but you should be excited to learn the domain and talk credibly with scientists. • Location: Lausanne, Switzerland or remote/hybrid, occasionally travel to customers. • Type: Full time • Start date: ASAP • We review applications on a rolling basis. • Application deadline • We are reviewing applicants on a rolling basis.

Responsibilities

• Embed with customers — protein design platforms, pharma, AI labs, biotechs — to understand how they design proteins and where Adaptyv fits in their loop. • Integrate our API into their pipelines: submitting designs, tracking experiments, and pulling structured results back into their models and data stores. • Build the glue — SDKs, client libraries, scripts, and small services — that makes the integration clean, reliable, and easy to maintain. • Design the data flow between their design stack and our lab so a model's output becomes a real experiment, and real measurements flow back automatically. • Prototype quickly, then harden what works into something production-grade. • Be the technical voice of the customer internally — turn what you learn in the field into improvements to our API, docs, and product. • Help turn first integrations into durable, expanding partnerships.
