Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • AI is only as good as the data underneath it.
  • Schemas is the configuration layer where customers model their scientific data and processes.
  • It's the customer-defined data model that makes Benchling different from a point solution, and the contract every other system (internal apps, integrations, AI agents) relies on when reading or writing to Benchling.

Responsibilities

  • Bring customer "why," not just feature requests, back to Engineering and Design
  • partner with them closely to ship new capabilities.
  • Partner with Customer Experience, Field, Sales, and Marketing to get customer signal into the roadmap early.
  • Partner closely with other Platform and Apps PMs - schemas underpin nearly every other platform surface, so alignment on sequencing and shared abstractions matters as much as your own roadmap.
  • Bring customer "why," not just feature requests, back to Engineering and Design; partner with them closely to ship new capabilities.
  • As Schemas PM, you own the primitives (schema types, computed fields, fieldsets, constraints, static, data versioning) that every other team at Benchling builds on top of.

Requirements

  • Energized by platform work and systems thinking
  • comfortable building the right abstraction ahead of need.
  • Has designed, owned, or significantly evolved a data-modeling, schema, or configuration system used by external developers or technical admins - not just consumed one as a feature.
  • Becomes the go-to person for customers, field, and engineers - not a router to engineering.
  • Deep, demonstrated discovery practice: has built personas and JTBD frameworks from scratch, not just used ones handed to them.
  • Track record balancing long-term vision with incremental shipping.
  • Genuine curiosity about the science behind the data. You don't need a science background, but you should want one by the end of your first quarter here.
  • Flexible Hybrid Work: We offer a flexible hybrid work arrangement that prioritizes in-office collaboration. Employees are expected to be on-site Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
  • Benchling welcomes everyone.
  • We believe diversity enriches our team so we hire people with a wide range of identities, backgrounds, and experiences.

Nice to have

  • Strong communicator across technical and executive audiences
  • B2B SaaS or developer-platform background preferred.

Skills

  • When a breakthrough is delayed, the world waits.
  • Getting a molecule from discovery to patients, or a crop from lab to field, involves thousands of slow, manual, disconnected steps.
  • 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.

Company info

  • We are rebuilding biotech for the AI era.
  • HOW WE WORK Flexible Hybrid Work: We offer a flexible hybrid work arrangement that prioritizes in-office collaboration.
  • Relentlessly track how customers use Schemas - where it delights, where it fails - and build sharp personas and job-to-be-done context for each user type (admins, scientists, computational teams, internal and external developers).
