About the role

  • See an example of our customer integration work on our website https://www.benchling.com/how-astrazeneca-created-automated-dna-assembly-framework, which describes how we automated DNA assembly to improve efficiency and reduce cost.

Responsibilities

  • Own projects end-to-end, from initial design to production rollout, whether the "customer" is an external biopharma partner or Benchling's own engineering org.
  • Strengthen Benchling's APIs and developer platform by leveraging the latest features and acting as the voice of the customer - or the team you're building for - to other groups within engineering.
  • Robot and instrument integration - scientists are increasingly using automated hardware in the lab to perform measurements.
  • We're building the internal tools and standardized workflows that let anyone on the team run these operations quickly and consistently, without relying on tribal knowledge.
  • Public MCP servers - we build and maintain the servers that expose trusted scientific data sources, like ClinicalTrials.gov http://ClinicalTrials.gov, bioRxiv, and ChEMBL, through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so AI agents and tools can pull structured data directly into a researcher's workflow.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in software engineering
  • Familiarity with Python and AWS
  • A customer-first approach to building software
  • Strong abilities in problem solving and iterating on feedback
  • Desire to own projects and interest in the real world impact of your code
  • Curiosity in learning more about life science (prior knowledge is not required
  • desire to learn is a must)
  • We offer a flexible hybrid work arrangement that prioritizes in-office collaboration. Employees are expected to be on-site 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday).
  • #LI-Hybrid
  • #BI-Hybrid
  • Benchling welcomes everyone.
  • We believe diversity enriches our team so we hire people with a wide range of identities, backgrounds, and experiences.

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

  • Collaborate directly with customers to understand complex scientific workflows and implement product integrations.
  • Help scale our product and team. As a member of the engineering team, you'll be an integral part of how we mature our engineering processes and hiring.
  • By integrating Benchling with machines like liquid handlers, we are working towards a world where a scientist can perform a physical experiment entirely using software.
