Software Engineer, Insights

Biotechnology is rewriting life as we know it, from the medicines we take, to the crops we grow, the materials we wear, and the household goods that we rely on every day. But moving at the new speed of science requires better technology.
Benchling’s mission is to unlock the power of biotechnology. The world’s most innovative biotech companies use Benchling’s R&D Cloud to power the development of breakthrough products and accelerate time to milestone and market.
Come help us bring modern software to modern science.

The Insights team is building the next generation of data analysis and visualization experiences for scientists working in Benchling. This role is a unique opportunity to shape how our customers explore and interact with their data — bringing clarity to complex scientific processes and accelerating breakthrough research.

As a Software Engineer on this team, you’ll build new features and platform capabilities that enable scientists to analyze and visualize their data effectively and make informed decisions with ease. Working on a wide range of projects, you'll collaborate with teams across the company to build data analysis features that integrate seamlessly with the rest of Benchling.

• You’ll build and own core features for our scientific data analysis product and platform, including machine learning features to optimize experiments and AI-powered features to help scientists explore and understand their data.

• You'll work across our full stack, tackling challenges from the front-end UI, our back-end architecture, to our machine learning pipelines.

• You'll be a key partner to product and design, collaborating to transform ideas into thoughtful, high-quality features for our users.

• You'll do more than just ship code—you'll help us build a better engineering organization by improving our tools, processes, and helping us hire great people.
   

• 2+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally in a full stack role.

• Experience in machine learning systems, or a track record of picking up new technical domains quickly.

• You take ownership of key product and/or platform work end-to-end.

• You take a product-first approach to building software. You ship code quickly and care about the real world impact of your code.

• While domain knowledge in life sciences is not required, you’ll thrive in this role with curiosity and a desire to learn.
