About the role

ROLE OVERVIEW

Benchling is on a mission to accelerate the pace of life sciences research and development. To do that, we build a suite of tools that scientists use daily to solve humanity's most pressing problems. The tools we build must be optimized to make scientists more efficient in their work, across a broad spectrum of research, development, and manufacturing tasks.

The lab notebook is an indispensable part of a scientist’s day. It contains all of their notes on experiments, how they were conducted and their results allowing the scientist to look back and remember exactly how they performed experiments. Plus, the notebook serves as legal documentation for regulator approvals. Benchling’s Notebook takes on all of those responsibilities and then gives the Notebook super powers to orchestrate functions across the entire Benchling platform. With Excel-like tables that allow creating new entities, recording and publishing experiment results and recording transfers, scientists using Benchling’s Notebook can do things that their old Notebook could never do.

RESPONSIBILITIES Own projects end-to-end, from initial design, to prototype, to large-scale rollout. Design and implement Notebook functionality from backend models, API endpoints to front end UI for complex scientific workflows. Design and implement rich frontend components and architecture. We build and operate one of the largest, richest React applications out there and power complex scientific analyses. Work closely with product managers, designers, marketing, and sales to ensure the right context is being shared. Help rapidly scale our product and team. As a member of the engineering team, you'll be an integral part of how we mature our tooling, best practices, engineering processes, and hiring. QUALIFICATIONS Have 4-7 years of experience in software engineering. Build software with a product-first approach. You ship code quickly and care about the real world impact of your code. Have strong abilities in problem solving and iterating on feedback. Enjoy ownership and building key pieces of product. Are interested in learning more about life science (prior knowledge is not required; desire to learn is a must). Willing to work onsite in our SF office 3 days a week.
