Benchling welcomes everyone.
We believe diversity enriches our team so we hire people with a wide range of identities, backgrounds, and experiences.

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.

At our core, we are hardworking, collaborative individuals who create a safe environment to share ideas, have a voice, make mistakes, and learn from our collective experiences.
