About the Role
We're looking for a Python Software Developer to join the Labman.One team — a next-generation platform being built to support advanced laboratory automation systems.
This is an opportunity to work on a new, evolving platform with real ownership and impact, combining the pace of a product environment with the backing of an established engineering company delivering systems globally.
You'll be involved in more than just development — contributing to technical design, problem solving, architecture, and collaborating closely with engineers, stakeholders, and end users. This is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, working through ambiguity, and shaping software from early ideas through to deployment.
What You'll Do
Build and develop the Labman.One platform using Python and Django
Develop backend systems, APIs, and integration services
Design scalable services and contribute to platform architecture
Work with PostgreSQL and Django ORM for data modelling
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
Contribute to technical decisions, standards, and best practices
Collaborate with engineers, users, and stakeholders
Investigate new technologies and prototype solutions
Take ownership of features from concept through to delivery
Work within Git-based workflows using pull requests and code reviews
Use AI-assisted development tools where appropriate
What You'll Need
Strong commercial experience with Python development
Experience building backend systems or applications
Experience with Django (or similar frameworks)
Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL / MySQL)
Experience with REST APIs and integrations
Experience writing automated tests
Good understanding of version control (Git) and collaborative workflows
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving environment
Desirable
Experience with Docker or containerised environments
Experience with async tools (Celery, RQ, etc.)
Exposure to Azure or cloud platforms
Frontend experience (React, Vue, Tailwind, etc.)
Experience in automation, robotics, or scientific environments
Experience using AI development tools (e.g. Copilot, Claude, Cursor)
Company Benefits
33 days holiday (rising to 38 with service)
Company profit share scheme
5% employer pension (no upper earnings cap)
Private healthcare (Aviva)
Enhanced maternity & paternity leave
CPD support and professional subscriptions
Free on-site gym, climbing wall, squash, social clubs and more
