All roles

Founding Full Stack Engineer (React / Python)

We're making scientific computing invisible.

Barcelona

HybridSalary real pre-seed equity

Temple Compute is a deep-tech company founded by Barcelona Supercomputing Center ex-researchers. Our platform lets biotech teams, materials scientists, and AI researchers run complex simulation workflows without touching a cluster config file. Auto-provisioned HPC or cloud.

Tech & Challenges

Build the workflow engine

Design and ship the backend that handles distributed workflow execution, job scheduling, state management, and failure recovery across cloud and HPC environments. This is not CRUD. Workflows are long-running, stateful, and run on infrastructure you don't fully control.

Build the interface scientists actually use

Develop the visual workflow editor that replaces the command line for researchers. Real-time job monitoring, drag-and-drop pipeline construction, result visualization. The UX has to be clean enough that a biologist with no DevOps background can use it on day one.

Plugin architecture and marketplace

Design the SDK and plugin framework that lets third-party developers distribute their simulation tools as native Horus components. Think extension system, not just API.

Ship and own

You design the feature, build it, deploy it, and monitor it. When deployment becomes painful, you automate it. When the architecture shows friction, you fix it before it becomes technical debt.

What You Need

Production-grade backend experience in Python, FastAPI or Flask, REST API design

Strong frontend: React, TypeScript, modern tooling (Vite)

Relational databases at scale: SQLModel / SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, schema design, query optimization

Docker and containerized environments

Authentication and security fundamentals: OAuth2, SSO, attribute-based access control (ABAC)

Nice to Have

Scientific software or research tooling background

Workflow engines or pipeline orchestration (Nextflow, Airflow, Prefect)

Plugin/SDK architecture experience

Real-time systems or job monitoring interfaces

What Founding Engineer Means Here

You co-design the backend architecture that handles distributed workflow execution
