Software Engineer, Full Stack, Developer Productivity

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.

Developer Productivity is a crucial function that empowers our engineers to excel in their craft. You will be pivotal in creating tools and frameworks that enhance developer experience, with a focus on frontend development. Your success will enable our engineering teams to efficiently deliver high quality products.

By understanding the unique challenges developers face and crafting solutions to streamline their workflows, you'll play a key role in driving innovation and fulfilling Benchling's mission.

- Own features end-to-end, from initial design, to prototype, to large-scale rollout.

- Design, implement, and extend frontend frameworks and architecture. We build and operate one of the largest, richest React applications out there and power complex scientific analyses.

- Build and implement tooling for efficient, frictionless development, testing, and packaging for production release.

- Work closely with product managers, designers, and peers in engineering to make Benchling a delightful place to develop software..

- 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.

- Build tools and software with a product-first approach. You ship code quickly and care about the real world impact of your code.

- Expertise with at least one web framework, preferably node or python.

- Have strong abilities in problem solving and iterating on feedback.

- Have empathy for your customers and curiosity about their challenges.

- Are interested in learning more about life science (prior knowledge is not required; desire to learn is a must).
