Summary

A leading organization in the cell and gene therapy research space is expanding its scientific informatics capabilities. Additional features need to be developed through a custom web application to support complex research workflows.

This project involves building a front-end-focused scientific web application enabling researchers to design experimental protocols, visualize plate/assay data, and interact seamlessly with Benchling through APIs. The front-end engineer will collaborate closely with scientists, UX designers, and the backend architect to deliver a highly intuitive and performance-optimized scientific interface.

Responsibilities

Develop front-end components for applications supporting plate maps, assay results, and compound libraries in high-throughput screening workflows.
Translate scientific workflows and experimental data into clear, intuitive, and interactive visual interfaces.
Build and maintain Vue 3-based Single Page Applications (SPAs) using Vite (and Axios when applicable).
Implement and optimize REST API integrations, including Benchling API interactions.
Ensure strong performance and responsiveness for large scientific datasets and real-time visualization needs.
Contribute to scientific visualization frameworks across HTS, ELN/LIMS, and compound management tools.
Collaborate closely with the project's backend architect (who is covering all backend development).

Required Qualifications & Skills

5+ years of professional front-end engineering experience.
Expert knowledge of Vue 3, component-based architecture, and SPA development with Vite.
Strong experience with D3.js or similar data visualization libraries (Plotly, Chart.js, etc.).
Practical experience with biotech or pharmaceutical R&D workflows, including:
Plate-based assays (96/384/1536-well)
Sample or compound management
Strong knowledge of REST APIs, JSON handling, and responsive UI design.
Experience with ELN/LIMS systems - Benchling strongly preferred.
Strong UI/UX sensibility for data-heavy scientific environments.
Excellent communication skills with ability to collaborate with scientific stakeholders.
Familiarity with Git, CI/CD processes, and modern development tooling.

Must-Have Experience

Bio/life sciences background.
Strong front-end engineering focus - UI-heavy role (backend is handled by architect).
Vue expertise.
UI development for data-centric scientific workflows.
ELN/LIMS experience within pharma/biotech contexts.
D3.js for visualization.
REST API integration.

Nice to Have

Axios
TypeScript
Benchling experience (ELN/LIMS)
