Job Description

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. We’re a team focusing on shipping AI agents for scientists, helping them automate toil and accelerate breakthroughs. Our agents automate many parts of scientific work that take hours to weeks today: designing experiments, capturing data, analyzing data, and writing complex reports. As an engineer on the team, you’ll build these agents end-to-end, from designing the agent architecture to shipping intuitive interfaces for the agents within our scientific applications. It’s early days for AI agents, both at Benchling and in the industry at large. We’ll rapidly iterate with customers and change directions quickly, figuring out new patterns for how we develop and go to market. We’ll win if we stay curious and obsess over our customers.

Job Responsibility

  • Build end-to-end AI agents, prototyping and productionizing systems that automate scientific work, from experiment design to data analysis and reporting
  • Work directly with customers to ideate use cases, gather feedback, build evaluations, and onboard scientific teams
  • Engineer across the stack, from developing new LLM-powered primitives to shipping intuitive user interfaces inside Benchling’s applications
  • Continuously improve our agent platform, contributing to frameworks, tooling, and infrastructure that accelerate future agent development
  • Shape how we build AI at Benchling, driving experimentation, contributing to technical direction, and helping evolve our engineering and product development practices as the field matures

Requirements

  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, building and maintaining production systems
  • Experience across the stack, comfort working with backend systems (Python or similar languages) and modern frontend frameworks (React or equivalent)
  • Strong product sense, with the ability to iterate quickly and refine solutions based on user feedback and data
  • Curiosity and excitement about LLMs and AI agents, and a desire to shape how they can transform scientific research
  • Collaborative mindset, able to work closely with engineers, product managers, and scientists to bring new ideas to life
  • Desire to work in a fast-paced environment, where priorities can shift and rapid experimentation is encouraged
  • Interest in learning about biotechnology (no prior knowledge required, just a willingness to learn and adapt)

What we offer

  • Broad range of medical, dental, and vision plans for employees and their dependents
  • Fertility healthcare and family-forming benefits
  • Four months of fully paid parental leave
  • 401(k) + Employer Match
  • Commuter benefits for in-office employees and a generous home office set up stipend for remote employees
  • Mental health benefits, including therapy and coaching, for employees and their dependents
  • Monthly Wellness stipend
  • Learning and development stipend
  • Generous and flexible vacation
  • Company-wide Winter holiday shutdown
  • Sabbaticals for 5-year and 10-year anniversaries
