Software Engineer, Benchling

• Thrive in a collaborative and diverse environment involving different stakeholders and experts
• 8+ years of experience as a software engineer, ideally 3+of those within a Platform team
• Experience and active interest in leading team execution rituals, such as a Sprint planning/retros and standups
• Proven track record of planning, leading and delivering multi-quarter, multi-person projects, all the while leading the project management and necessary stakeholder communications
• Eagerness to dive into deep technical complexity and “repair the ship while we fly it.”
• Willing to work onsite in our SF office 3 days a week

Desirable

• Design and build foundational domain modeling primitives – such as inheritance support, performant uniqueness constraints or filterable fields – so that customers can model their concepts in high fidelity. This enables our customers to configure Benchling for their particular use-cases, making the scientist/operator experience feel tailored and seamless
• Re-architect the Schemas system so customers can iterate on their domain model at scale, reliably offering async data migrations over billions of records with zero-downtime while maintaining our data integrity guarantees. As customers’ science evolves, they need the ability to evolve their domain models accordingly and at any data scale
• Rethink how Application teams build on top of the Schemas platform, driving down the engineering effort required from multiple months to 2 weeks. Given Benchling’s large and rapidly growing product surface area, Schemas is a unique leverage point for internal engineering velocity and interoperability
• Lead team-wide or project-specific rituals, helping the team deliver on commitments and contributing to a culture of execution excellence
