Job Description

Software Engineer, Backend (Schemas & Object Framework) Biotechnology is rewriting life as we know it, from the medicines we take, to the crops we grow, the materials we wear, and the household goods that we rely on every day. But moving at the new speed of science requires better technology. Benchling’s mission is to unlock the power of biotechnology. The world’s most innovative biotech companies use Benchling’s R&D Cloud to power the development of breakthrough products and accelerate time to milestone and market. Come help us bring modern software to modern science. ROLE OVERVIEW As a software engineer on the Schemas and Object Framework team, you will design, build, and operate platform systems that are fundamental to how Benchling models complex science. Not only will your work enable Benchling to scale its product offerings and accelerate scientific discovery for our customers by providing a cohesive and extensible data modeling foundation, but you will also have the opportunity to help shape technical strategy and establish best practices for Benchling product and platform teams. The richness and variety of our customers’ work means that Benchling cannot provide out-of-the-box support for all the concepts in biotech. So, the Schemas system enables our internal application teams to introduce new “schema types,” which are natively integrated with our platform. Our customers can then extend and customize these schema types to represent their unique science. As an engineer on the Schemas team, you will own the evolution of these customizable schemas, ensuring optimal handling of data “at rest” and shaping the data within Schemas to maintain data integrity and optimize the performance of the datastore that backs all data records in the Benchling Data Platform. This team also owns the Object Framework which enables Benchling’s internal platform to be consistent by default by providing both a source of truth for the shape of Benchling domain models and also internal APIs for accessing them. Team members regularly define best practices for other platform and product teams to ensure modeling consistency, as well as define interfaces to adjacent systems that persist data and generate change events. RESPONSIBILITIES Lead high-impact projects from design through to deployment and operation. Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers across Platform and Applications teams to translate business needs into effective solutions. Collaborate with technical leaders and teammates to contribute to team growth, drive improvements in engineering processes and tools, and foster a culture of excellence. Improve the maintainability, consistency, scalability, and developer experience of high-impact internal data modeling APIs. QUALIFICATIONS You have 3+ years of experience in a fulltime software engineering role. Ideally in SaaS with platform development experience. Strong problem-solving skills with a proven ability to iterate on feedback and deliver high-impact solutions. Proficiency in backend development, API design, data management. Experience in Web Application development is highly desirable. Experience leading & delivering projects from start to finish, independently or as a part of a larger team. Excellent interpersonal skills and experience working in a collaborative, cross-functional environment. Willing to work out of our SF office 3 days a week.
