As a Software Engineer working on the Lab Automation Platform team, you'll design and build systems to enable seamless and secure data ingestion, normalization, and behavior orchestration within Benchling. Our platform is critical to pull our customers' experiment data from a growing catalog of supported scientific instruments, and convert the data to an industry standard format, while facilitating collaboration that significantly accelerates breakthrough discoveries. Working on a wide range of projects, you'll collaborate with teams across the company to architect and build foundational primitives, tools, and core services for a robust and extensible platform that serves customers and developers. Our platform is becoming increasingly important as we expand our footprint with larger enterprise customers, move towards a services architecture, and build a multi-application ecosystem. This role has an opportunity to shape Benchling's service and data architecture for years to come, while unlocking continuous growth in the business and new product capabilities.
RESPONSIBILITIES- Own projects end-to-end, from initial design, to prototype, to large-scale rollout.
- Design and architect resilient APIs, user interfaces, services, and frameworks of our Connect platform.
- Work hand-in-hand with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to understand needs and shape them into scalable software solutions.
- Ensure high quality and performance of our systems through comprehensive testing, monitoring, and optimization.
- Mentor other engineers and be a major multiplier across the team.
- Drive the evolution of our product and team. As a member of the engineering team, you will be an integral part of how we mature our tooling, engineering processes, and hiring.

QUALIFICATIONS- Have 4 -7 years of experience in Software Engineering, ideally in a Full Stack team. Experience with IoT/MQTT, Data Pipelines, or managing open source projects is a nice-to-have but not a must!
- 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 and platform
- Have a keen interest in delving deeper into building Enterprise SaaS in the life sciences industry. While prior knowledge isn't a prerequisite, an enthusiasm to learn certainly is!
