Software Engineer, Molecular Biology

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.

Ultimately, such research involves understanding and analyzing the molecular basis of life on Earth - DNA, RNA, proteins and related compounds. The Molecular Biology team at Benchling is responsible for the tools we provide customers to design, visualize, investigate, analyze and track these foundational molecules.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own projects end-to-end, from initial planning and designs, to prototype, to large-scale rollout.
• Design and implement backend models, logic and API endpoints for complex scientific workflows and entities.
• 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 methodologies and analytics.
• Work closely with product managers and designers to collaborate on creating the best possible experience for our customers.
• 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+ 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 across the full stack (frontend to backend)
