Requirements

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.
- Empower scientists, admins, and computational teams that use Benchling to turn their data into an AI-ready structured data foundation for the entire R&D lifecycle.
Experience with providing technical solutions to internal developers and external customers. - Demonstrated ability to explain technical concepts to customers and executive leadership. -
Experience in B2B SaaS or Developer Platform industries preferred - Demonstrated
experience working with data modeling or databases required.

- Set the vision for Schemas that will help accelerate development amongst internal development teams.
Understanding what a customer wants and how that might impact various aspects of our product is essential. - Demonstrated ability to have a long term vision and ship incrementally along the way. - 6+ years of product management experience -
We are an equal opportunity employer.

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 Schemas is the layer where our customers model their data.
It’s a codeless configuration system powering all of Benchling's applications, representing a software abstraction around scientific data and processes.
This system enables Benchling to ingest and store data at scale.
You own the foundation that the rest of the product, and other Benchling teams, build on.
We’re looking for someone who owns the hard product calls and is the person customers, the field, and engineers come to for the answer, not someone who routes the question to engineering and waits for a reply.
You’ll set the direction for the platform primitives, like computed fields, fieldsets, constraints, static properties, and data versioning, that speed up every team building on top of Schemas, and you’ll ship toward that direction incrementally while keeping the platform stable for the admins and developers who depend on it.
