Benchling’s  customers interact with our products daily, and they trust them with their most important assets. Chemistry is a full-stack team on a mission to accelerate science by creating powerful, intuitive tools that support a broad range of scientific workflows. We obsess over quality and data integrity.

  • Meet with customers to understand their science & what they need from Benchling.
  • Contribute to engineering-wide organizational improvements as part of the management team.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • 3+ years of experience managing high-performing engineering teams.
  • 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, with experience as a technical lead on projects that involve multiple engineers across multiple quarters
  • Managed engineering teams that were responsible for a customer-focused product.
  • Managed geographically distributed teams.
  • Grown high-trajectory, early-to-mid-career engineers into leaders with company-wide impact.
  • Experience (and enjoy!) working directly with customers, product, design and other internal teams and stakeholders to inform your team's roadmap.
  • Interest in biotech!
