Our LINQ platform is the software that plans, schedules, and drives life-science labs. Our clients run labs for cancer diagnostics, drug discovery, cell manufacturing, synthetic biology and more. This role owns the interface to the lab — not just the UI, but every surface someone builds on or acts through: the app a scientist touches, the APIs and SDK an integrator builds on, the CLI an engineer scripts with, the agent surface a model acts through. Most product interfaces are forms over a database. Ours front a physical world that changes by itself — robots act, schedules change, instruments fail — and every one of those surfaces has to keep its user genuinely in control. We're building the next generation of our interfaces — AI-native from the ground up: personalised to role and behaviour, UI generated on the fly where it earns its place, and agents working in the product alongside the people using it. This is a role for someone user-obsessed — the platform underneath is...

It is the team behind Elliptic's copilot, the AI product that helps compliance investigators trace fund flows, surface patterns, and respond to risk in real time. This role sits at the centre of that work, designing the agentic systems, LLM integrations, and backend services that turn complex blockchain data into useful answers.
