We're building the infrastructure layer that makes scientific computing accessible to every scientist.Temple Compute is a deep-tech company founded by Barcelona Supercomputing Center ex-researchers. Our platform (Horus) lets biotech teams, materials scientists, and AI researchers run complex simulation workflows without touching a cluster config file. Auto-provisioned HPC or cloud, wherever compute is available.Tech & ChallengesYou'll own features from first commit to production. We build fast, identify friction, and fix it systematically.Build the workflow engineDesign 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 useDevelop 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 marketplaceDesign 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 ownYou 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 needProduction-grade backend experience in Python, FastAPI or Flask, REST API design.Strong frontend. React, TypeScript, modern tooling (Vite, React, TypeScript)Relational databases at scale. SQLModel / SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, schema design, query optimizationDocker and containerized environmentsAuthentication and security fundamentals. OAuth2, SSO, attribute based access control (ABAC)Nice to haveScientific software or research tooling backgroundWorkflow engines or pipeline orchestration (Nextflow, Airflow, Prefect)Plugin/SDK architecture experienceReal-time systems or job monitoring interfacesCurrent stack:Python - FastAPI - React - TypeScript - PostgreSQL - Docker - RedisWhat founding engineer means hereYou co-design the backend architecture that handles distributed workflow executionYou build the visual workflow editor that replaces command-line HPC for scientistsYou hold real equity in a startup at pre-seedDirect line to the founder.Why join us?Impact: Your code will directly accelerate research on different areas such as life sciences, material science, or AI development.Growth: Work directly with the founders and gain hands-on experience in AI, bioinformatics, and HPC.Flexibility: Hybrid work model in Barcelona, 2.5-day/week in-person.Compensation:€40-60K, ESOP EquityLearn more at our website:
