Job opportunity
The Institute of Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zurich is inviting applications for a Full Stack Web Developer for Life Science Research in the laboratory of Prof. Pedro Beltrao.
The Beltrao group is dedicated to understanding the mechanisms underlying genotype to phenotype relationships. We seek to explore how genetic variations at the DNA level influence protein functions, impact cellular processes, and ultimately contribute to human diseases. With a strong foundation in fundamental research utilizing computational methods and increasingly sophisticated Artificial Intelligence approaches, our focus is shifting towards making these innovations accessible to the scientific community and beyond.
We aim to bridge the gap between academic coding and real-world applications. This project focuses on developing robust web resources to share large-scale datasets and AI-driven predictions with a broader audience. As we transition our work towards more translational applications, we are looking for a developer who can assist us in transforming research prototypes into user-friendly products with potential commercial viability.
We are looking for an experienced computer programmer proficient in both front-end and back-end development, with a strong interest in product development and bioinformatics. We welcome applicants with either substantial experience in full stack web development or a solid background in bioinformatics who are eager to thrive in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment.
You will play a pivotal role in "productionizing" our computational research. Your primary responsibilities will include:
At ETH Zurich, you will be part of an esteemed institution that actively promotes your professional development while contributing to positive societal change.
In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment where the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.

We look forward to receiving your online application by 23rd January 2026 using the form below. Only applications matching the job profile will be considered.
Further information about the group and the institute can be found on our website. Questions regarding the position should be directed to Prof. Pedro Beltrao via email at beltrao@imsb.biol.ethz.ch (no applications). The position is tied to the project duration of 18 months, with a possible extension to be considered later.
We would like to point out that pre-selection is carried out by the responsible recruiters and not by artificial intelligence. For recruitment services, the GTC of ETH Zurich apply.
