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. This role is an opportunity to join App Core & IAM, a foundational Platform team at Benchling. This team is responsible for the core functionality that controls how users authenticate with our product, what they are authorized to access, and how Benchling's features are enabled and configured. As a Software Engineer on this team, you will build new features and tools that help users unlock the full potential of the Benchling application. You will also work closely with other Platform and Application teams across Benchling, helping them leverage these core services to ship value in their respective product areas. You will have an opportunity to ship quality code at a high velocity, while prioritizing enterprise grade security and compliance.

Responsibilities

You will build and own core features that are central to our product, including Identity, Permissions, Notifications, and platform-wide Configurability. You'll work across our full stack, tackling challenges from the front-end UI to our back-end architecture. 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.

Qualifications

You have 3+ years of experience building software, ideally as part of a full-stack team. You're product-minded, driven to ship, and always consider the customer and business impact of your work. You are a natural problem-solver who thrives on feedback and continuous improvement. You love taking ownership of your work and building foundational pieces of a product. You're excited by the challenge of building Enterprise SaaS for the life sciences industry and are eager to learn about the domain.
