We're hiring software engineers to discuss the architecture of scalable computational pipelines for genomic data. Building these environments from scratch requires a unique intersection of domain knowledge and engineering rigor. Your feedback will inform how robust bioinformatics infrastructure is designed and deployed.
You will participate in a remote, AI-moderated interview focused on your engineering workflows. During the session, you will walk us through how you design and build scalable environments from the ground up. We will ask you to detail the specific challenges of handling bioinformatics data and the technical tradeoffs you make. The conversation will flow through your recent projects, architectural decisions, and deployment strategies.
We welcome backend software engineers, bioinformatics scientists, genomics data engineers, and computational biologists with strong architectural experience. You should have a proven track record of building scalable data pipelines from scratch. Ideal candidates will be highly comfortable discussing both the biological domain constraints and the underlying software engineering principles.

Terac is building the infrastructure layer that connects AI systems with on-demand human expertise.
We believe the future of work is shifting: instead of humans using AI to do most tasks, AI will increasingly do most work with the help of humans. In that world, companies won’t need traditional employees - but they will still need people. Terac powers that future by making high-quality human labor accessible through a single API.
Today, Terac operates as an expert network for frontier research. We handle sourcing, verification, screening, and payouts so partners can instantly access specialized talent for research, evaluation, and data generation. Our platform enables companies to tap into niche expertise on demand while focusing on building their core products.
Backed by $9M from Emergence, SignalFire, Audacious, and Z Fellows, we’re scaling from research tooling into a broader marketplace for the human data economy - building systems for expert matching, pricing, routing, and trust that will define how AI and humans collaborate at scale.
