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.
- ROLE OVERVIEW We’re a team building AI for scientists, including agents that automate toil in everyday scientific work and models that help scientists design better molecules.
- Our goal is to democratize access to AI, putting it in the hands of every scientist.
- As an engineer on the team, you’ll build product experiences that drive adoption of AI across the hundreds of thousands of scientists who use Benchling today.
- You’ll blend strong technical skills and deep product intuition, working across our stack to optimize onboarding, create viral loops, and help scientists understand how to leverage AI in their daily workflows.
- It’s early days for scientific AI, both at Benchling and in the industry at large.
- RESPONSIBILITIES - Build end-to-end product experiences that drive adoption of scientific AI, from onboarding flows to in-product discovery, education, and feedback loops.
- - Shape how we build AI at Benchling, evolving our engineering and product development practices to define what great AI adoption looks like in the scientific world.
- experience in modern frontend frameworks (React or equivalent) and backend languages (Python or similar). - Strong product and growth intuition, with the ability to iterate quickly and refine solutions based on user feedback and data. -
- Experience with instrumentation and analytics, including defining success metrics, implementing event tracking, and using data to drive decisions. - Desire to work in a fast-paced environment, forming hypotheses, testing ideas quickly, and scaling the ones that work. - Interest in learning about biotechnology and AI (no prior knowledge required, just a willingness to learn and adapt).
Experience
- QUALIFICATIONS - 5+ years of
Benefits
- We are an equal opportunity employer.
Additional details
- 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’ll rapidly iterate with customers and change directions quickly, figuring out new patterns for how we develop and go to market.
- We’ll win if we stay curious and obsess over our customers.
- - Work directly with customers to understand use cases, gather feedback, and onboard scientific teams.
- - Experiment rapidly, designing and running A/B tests, instrumentation, and data analyses to identify the biggest levers for user activation and retention.
- - Continuously improve our growth platform, developing frameworks and tooling that make it easier to test, measure, and scale successful experiments.
- experience building delightful, consumer-grade products, ideally at a company where growth and experimentation were core to the strategy. - Full-stack engineering skills, with
- HOW WE WORK This is an in-person team in San Francisco built around collaborating in the office in a fast-paced environment.
- We’re in the office Monday through Friday. #LI-Hybrid #BI-Hybrid #LI-JP1 Benchling welcomes everyone.
