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. We're looking for our first product-minded full stack engineer to help shape the platform from the ground up.
The Role
Own the product end to end
You carry features from customer problem and design through build, deploy, and monitoring. This is a founding role, not a ticket-taking one: you decide what matters, you build it, and you own it once it's live.
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)
Proven experience shipping production software in a senior or founding capacity, comfortable owning architecture decisions
What Sets You Apart
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
Product sense: talking to users and turning feedback into shipped features
What Founding Engineer Means Here
You co-design the backend architecture that handles distributed workflow execution
You build the visual workflow editor that replaces command-line HPC for scientists
You hold real equity in a startup at pre-seed
Direct line to the founder
