Senior Full Stack Engineer – Registration

Dotmatics is seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our team. We are building the most powerful R&D AI-Powered platform in the world. Luma is an AI-Native Multimodal Research Platform for Scientific Intelligence - it fits the way our customers "do science," letting them streamline research with adaptive R&D workflows driven by AI and seamless data integration.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll build scalable features across a distributed, event-driven system and help maintain the technical health of our codebase. You should be a hands-on expert across the Node.js/React ecosystem, comfortable designing asynchronous, microservice-based architectures, with a genuine passion for scientific innovation. We value engineers who are curious about AI and motivated to find new ways to apply it in software development.

This is no ordinary engineering role, this is a product with real-world meaning, one that helps define how scientists work, helping bring medicine to market quicker and find cures for diseases faster. This is LUMA.

In this role you will:

• Lead development of complex, high-impact features across a microservices architecture, owning both backend services and the frontend experiences they power
• Design, build, and maintain serverless and event-driven data pipelines — including streaming and message-based workflows — capable of handling high-volume scientific data
• Build asynchronous, non-blocking services and APIs that scale reliably under load
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code; proactively identify technical debt and advocate for architectural improvements
• Partner closely with other engineers to build intuitive user interfaces that simplify complex scientific research
• Provide technical guidance through thoughtful code reviews and pair programming, fostering a culture of continuous learning
• Support the reliability of our services by implementing observability and participating in deployment and monitoring of your code in production

**We are looking for candidates with: **

• Strong fluency with English - Written & Spoken
• 8+ years of engineering experience, preferably in a SaaS environment, ideally with a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent
• You're curious and inquisitive - someone who questions the why and the how.

The key skills:

• Strong commercial experience building backend services with Node.js and modern frontend applications with React
• Solid experience designing, building, and consuming RESTful APIs
• Strong proficiency working with PostgreSQL and relational database design
• Experience designing and working within microservices and event-driven architectures, preferably using Kafka
• Strong understanding of asynchronous programming patterns and distributed systems
• Hands-on experience with AWS services in production environments
• Experience using Docker and Kubernetes for containerisation and orchestration
• A strong advocate for automated testing (unit, integration, E2E) and experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or AWS CodePipeline
• Proficiency in Agile methodologies and a track record of delivering value in iterative cycles

You may also have experience in:

• Building and scaling complex data ingestion or processing workflows
• Building messaging bots or other automated, event-triggered tooling
• Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code technologies
• Exposure to AWS/GCP/Azure, or designing systems that run across multiple cloud providers
• Leading small project teams or acting as a "feature lead," including mentoring engineers and running code reviews
• Background in Life Sciences or R&D data management"
