About the job
At Benchling, we are transforming the biotech landscape for the AI era.
When scientific breakthroughs are stalled, the world holds its breath. The journey from molecule discovery to patient treatment, or from laboratory innovations to agricultural fields, encompasses countless slow, manual, and uncoordinated procedures. AI holds the promise to revolutionize this process, significantly reducing R&D timelines from decades to mere years. However, this transformation is only achievable when clean, structured scientific data and AI are seamlessly integrated into scientific methodologies.
Benchling serves as the premier AI platform for biotech R&D. Our platform empowers over 200,000 scientists globally, facilitating experiment design, structured data capture, and the execution of AI models directly within their workflows. Leading organizations, including Sanofi, Moderna, and more than half of the top 50 biopharmaceutical companies worldwide, trust Benchling to enhance their most critical research initiatives.

Your contributions will redefine scientific workflows, fostering innovation and ensuring the seamless integration of third-party solutions across our platform.
The team is focused on various early- to mid-stage initiatives, including developer APIs, event delivery systems, AI-powered agents, and enhanced platform infrastructure to support a burgeoning ecosystem of scientific applications. This diversity allows engineers the flexibility to pursue projects that align with both business objectives and their personal interests and skills. This role is envisioned as a “Developer Platform Engineer,” highlighting the expansive opportunities to contribute across our developer-facing systems.
This role is hands-on and high-impact, where your contributions will be visible throughout the company and to our scientific users around the globe. You will collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers, tackling complex challenges while advancing your expertise in platform development and life sciences.
