Role
Who you are
- You have 3+ years of experience in software engineering

What the job involves
- Benchling is on a mission to accelerate the pace of life sciences research and development
- To do that, we build a suite of tools that scientists use daily to solve humanity's most pressing problems

- You’ll get to engage closely with scientists and those who support them (our customers) to build products that will push forward the wave of biotechnology
- Own projects end-to-end, from initial design, to prototype, to large-scale rollout
- Design and implement backend models and API endpoints for complex scientific workflows
- Design and implement rich frontend components and architecture. We build and operate one of the largest, richest React applications out there and power complex scientific analyses
- Work closely with product managers, designers, marketing, and sales to ensure the right context is being shared
- Help rapidly scale our product and team. As a member of the engineering team, you'll be an integral part of how we mature our tooling, best practices, engineering processes, and hiring
Our take
As the pioneer of the R&D Cloud, Benchling offers a cloud-based informatics platform tailored for biotechnology. Its platform enables scientists across the globe to make breakthrough discoveries and bring next-gen biotechnology to market.
There’s a sincerity and consciousness to Benchling’s approach that stands out. This has led to the company being adopted by over 200,000 scientists from 1,000+ companies and 7,500 academic and research institutions globally (including 23andMe, Moderna, and the U.S. Department of Defense).
The rapidly advancing Biotechnology industry was at the forefront of the so-called “fourth industrial revolution”, with the industry driving $2 to $4 trillion per year of economic impact over the next 20 years.
Benchling has put itself in a position of immense value within the industry with its expanding offerings. And now, off the back of over $400 million in total funding, the company is seeing accelerated growth.
