ROLE OVERVIEW

Benchling is seeking a Software Engineer to join our Data Input team within the App Foundations pillar. At Benchling, we’re on a mission to accelerate the pace of life sciences research. To do that, we build a suite of tools that scientists use daily to solve humanity's most pressing problems. To achieve our mission, the Data Input team exists to help our users get their crucial scientific data into our platform easier & quicker. Our goal is to streamline Data Input so scientists can focus on science. We own core product functionality like tables, forms & more, which over 90% of Benchling customers use!

You’ll also play a crucial role in building key product initiatives that are critical to the company’s success alongside peer teams, across the organization. You’ll build into both our Excel-like tables, that allow creating new entities, recording and publishing experiment results, & recording transfers, and our forms, which allow scientists to design completely custom forms that enable our users to easily capture data into Benchling at the lab bench & remotely in the field. Besides key, user-facing product areas, we’re striving to build a platform of extensible, reusable data input components for use internally, across Benchling.
