You have a solid background in software engineering, with experience in designing and building scalable systems that support complex applications. Your expertise in Java and Python allows you to create robust solutions that meet the unique needs of the biotechnology sector. You understand the importance of data modeling and have a keen interest in how technology can accelerate scientific discovery.

You thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to establish best practices and technical strategies. Your ability to communicate complex ideas clearly helps you engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You are adaptable and eager to learn, always looking for ways to improve your skills and contribute to your team's success.

Desirable

Experience with cloud platforms and data management systems is a plus, as is familiarity with the biotechnology industry. You may have worked on projects that required customization and extensibility, allowing you to understand the challenges and opportunities in this field. A passion for science and technology drives your work, and you are excited about the potential impact of your contributions.

What you'll do

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. Your work will enable Benchling to scale its product offerings and accelerate scientific discovery for customers by providing a cohesive and extensible data modeling foundation. You will own the evolution of customizable schemas, ensuring optimal handling of data “at rest” and shaping the data within the platform.

You will collaborate with internal application teams to introduce new schema types that are natively integrated with our platform, allowing customers to extend and customize these types to represent their unique scientific needs. Your role will involve shaping technical strategy and establishing best practices that enhance the overall product and platform experience.

You will also participate in code reviews, contribute to technical documentation, and help mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the team. Your contributions will directly impact how Benchling supports its customers in the biotechnology space, making your work both challenging and rewarding.
