Software Engineer, Full Stack, Developer Productivity

Boston, United StatesHybrid

Responsibilities

We build and operate one of the largest, richest React applications out there and power complex scientific analyses. - Build and implement tooling for efficient, frictionless development, testing, and packaging for production release. - Work closely with product managers, designers, and peers in engineering to make Benchling a delightful place to develop software.. - Help rapidly scale our product and team.

We are rebuilding biotech for the AI era.
AI has the potential to change this, compressing decades of R&D work into years.
But that only happens when clean, structured scientific data and AI are built into how science gets done.
Benchling is the AI platform for biotech R&D.
Scientists use Benchling to design experiments, capture structured data, and run AI agents and models directly in their workflows.
We’re building an AI scientist for our customers.
AI fluency is the foundation we build on; it's core to how we work, and we're committed to helping every new hire integrate it into their day-to-day.
As part of our interview process, you'll complete a brief AI-focused exercise or discussion so we can understand how you think about and use AI to drive impact in your role.
experience in software engineering. - Build tools and software with a product-first approach.
You ship code quickly and care about the real world impact of your code. - Expertise with at least one web framework, preferably node or python. - Have strong abilities in problem solving and iterating on feedback. - Enjoy ownership and building key pieces of product. - Have empathy for your customers and curiosity about their challenges. - Are interested in learning more about life science (prior knowledge is not required; desire to learn is a must).

Getting a molecule from discovery to patients, or a crop from lab to field, involves thousands of slow, manual, disconnected steps.
Over 200,000 scientists around the world trust Benchling to power their most important work, from academic labs to Sanofi, Moderna, and more than half of the world's top 50 biopharma.
We can’t do that if we haven’t built the muscle ourselves.
Feel free to reference any tools, platforms, or workflows you use today.
ROLE OVERVIEW 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.
The tools we build must be optimized to make scientists more efficient in their work, across a broad spectrum of research, development, and manufacturing tasks.
You will be pivotal in creating tools and frameworks that enhance developer experience, with a focus on frontend development.
Your success will enable our engineering teams to efficiently deliver high quality products.
By understanding the unique challenges developers face and crafting solutions to streamline their workflows, you'll play a key role in driving innovation and fulfilling Benchling’s mission.
