Cerillo is a startup based in Charlottesville, Virginia working to develop novel laboratory
instruments. We seek to hire a bright, creative, motivated product developer to lead the hardware
design, prototyping, and manufacture of our portfolio of instruments.
Your job responsibilities may vary, but will initially include:
• Developing software for an embedded Linux environment to enable wireless control of
connected devices and their data
• Implementing a web stack to robustly handle remote control and data access of laboratory
instruments
• Troubleshooting software-related issues, both in a remote-support and on-site capacity
• Growing into a software leadership role
• Telling us we’re wrong and that we should be thinking about it another way
We’re looking for someone with the following characteristics:
• Strong interpersonal skills and comfort relating to end-users
• Self-motivation to take ownership of a significant project and produce frequent
prototypes for testing and integration with other pieces of the puzzle, sometimes without
clear “direction from above” (we are a startup, after all)
• Ability to suggest, prototype, and implement brand-new solutions to wide-ranging
problems – we’re looking for innovation, not iteration on what we already have
• Willingness to think (and sometimes work) outside of the job description
• Commitment to well-written, well-organized, and well-documented code
• A demonstrated portfolio of related work
• Comfort in a few of the following: JavaScript, Node.js, C++, Python, BASH, PHP
…and, if you have any of the following, we would love to hear about it:
• Formal project management experience
• Past work in the biomedical or medical device industry
• Network management experience
• Knowledge of data security principles
Cerillo’s headquarters is located just north of the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, part of a
vibrant high-tech community in one of the “best places to live” in America. More information
