Software Engineer, Procedures

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.

The pace of drug development has increased in recent years, with the number of novel drugs being launched annually rising to almost twice the level as in the early 2000’s.  Process science has evolved considerably to support these aims, but the software applications available to process teams remains a siloed array of rigid point solutions, legacy notebooks and internally-built systems. All of these software applications contribute to siloed data, poor user experience, and high cost of ownership, forcing scientists to spend as much as 20-35% of their time searching for and aligning their data for analysis.
A new digital approach is required for process teams to thrive in the modern era of biopharmaceutical development. That’s where the Procedures team comes into picture. As a software engineer on the brand new 0 to 1 Procedures team, you’ll work closely with other engineers, product, and design to empower scientists to model and represent their process in Benchling. You’ll get to engage closely with scientists and those who support them (our customers) to build products that will push forward the wave of biotechnology.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own projects end-to-end, from initial design, to prototype, to large-scale rollout.
• Design and implement backend models and API endpoints for complex scientific workflows.
• 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 analyses.
• Work closely with product managers, designers, marketing, and sales to ensure the right context is being shared.
• 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

• You have 3+ 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.
• You enjoy engaging with product managers, designers, customer support, and customers themselves(!) – working with them to solve complex business problems and iterate rapidly on feedback
• Enjoy ownership and building key pieces of product.
• You are eager to dive into deep technical complexity 
• Are interested in learning more about life science (prior knowledge is not required; desire to learn is a must).
• Willing to work onsite in our SF office 3 days a week.
