Full Job Description
ROLE OVERVIEW

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.

WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING
  • Scientists are generating more data than ever, and the tools to make sense of it haven't kept up. You'll be working at that frontier - building experiences that turn complex scientific data into clear, actionable insight.
  • You'll have the opportunity to own experiences end-to-end, from the data models that power them to the UI interactions that scientists rely on every day.
  • Your work will directly reach scientists doing meaningful work. When you ship something, it matters.

  • You'll build across our stack, tackling challenges from the front-end UI to backend models and 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 and processes, and by helping us hire great people.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • 2+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally in a full stack role. Familiarity using AI tools as part of your engineering workflow is a strong plus.
  • Experience developing user-facing experiences with React, or similar frontend application frameworks.
  • You take ownership of medium-sized product and/or platform projects 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.
  • You can join us in our office 3 days a week.
  • While domain knowledge in life sciences is not required, you'll thrive in this role with curiosity and a desire to learn.
