ROLE OVERVIEW

Benchling is on a mission to unlock the power of biotechnology. To do that, we’re building a suite of software tools that scientists use daily to solve humanity's most pressing problems. These tools save scientists valuable time in data capture, quality assurance, and analysis, across research, development, and manufacturing tasks.

Regardless of the actual science being done, scientific work is a collaborative multi-step process. This work requires coordination across various teams over the course of days or even weeks, and tracking progress can be complicated, tedious, and manual. The mission of the Workflows team is to enable scientists to easily track, manage, and optimize their multi-step processes in one place. By handling all of the process management for them, we make it easier for scientists to focus on just getting their work done.

We’ve built a system that models scientific work and business decisions as nodes in a directed graph through which biological data flows. We’re now working on making this graph even more powerful by adding nodes that automate software actions (e.g. sending notifications) and can fine-tune the flow of data (e.g. plasmids should be paired with vectors for transfection). Other teams at Benchling are also starting to build on top of our graph and scientific work models to power their product experiences.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own projects full-stack and end-to-end, from initial design, to prototype, to large-scale rollout
• Help evolve our product, in-place, to add platform functionality that powers other Benchling user flows
• Develop more powerful graph functionality (i.e. nodes that automate) to improve both the Workflows product and the Workflows product platform
• 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

• 2+ years of experience in software development
• Strong problem solving abilities and are able to iterate on feedback
• Enjoy owning and building key pieces of product
• 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
