Remote Crop Modeling Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are rebuilding biotech for the AI era.
When a breakthrough is delayed, the world waits. Getting a molecule from discovery to patients, or a crop from lab to field, involves thousands of slow, manual, disconnected steps. AI has the potential to change this, compressing decades of R&D work into years. But that only happens when clean, structured scientific data and AI are built into how science gets done.
Benchling is the AI platform for biotech R&D. Scientists use Benchling to design experiments, capture structured data, and run AI agents and models directly in their workflows. Over 200,000 scientists around the world trust Benchling to power their most important work, from academic labs to Sanofi, Moderna, and more than half of the world's top 50 biopharma.
We're building an AI scientist for our customers. We can't do that if we haven't built the muscle ourselves. AI fluency is the foundation we build on; it's core to how we work, and we're committed to helping every new hire integrate it into their day-to-day. As part of our interview process, you'll complete a brief AI-focused exercise or discussion so we can understand how you think about and use AI to drive impact in your role. Feel free to reference any tools, platforms, or workflows you use today.
ROLE OVERVIEW
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 to accelerate time to milestone and market. Benchling's customers generate a rich variety of science data. To keep up innovation, Benchling needs highly scalable and effective infrastructure and developer experience pipelines that serve our internal engineers.
Developer Experience is a crucial function that empowers our engineers to excel in their craft. As a technical leader in the Platform pillar, you'll work closely with the Developer Productivity and Release Engineering teams to create tools and frameworks that enhance developer experience, with a focus on the Path to Production. 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.
RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build and implement tooling for efficient, frictionless development, testing, and packaging for production release.
• Lead the design and development of release tooling that enables code changes to reach production within 10 minutes.
• Iterate on developer experience improvements using qualitative and quantitative feedback.
• Implement feedback loops that integrate quality into software development workflows.
• Champion effective engineering and operational patterns across the Engineering org.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address challenges in engineering workflows that impact developer happiness and productivity.
• 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.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Have 7+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Have 5+ years of experience with containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes, etc) in production.
• Build software with a product-first approach. You ship code quickly and care about the real world impact of your code.
