Software Engineer, Scientific Models (Full-Stack)

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

We’re a team that’s embedding cutting‑edge scientific AI models into Benchling to help scientists design better molecules. Scientific models (e.g. AlphaFold) predict structures, assess properties, and even generate new ideas, acting as a design partner as scientists design life‑saving therapeutics and other molecules. As an engineer on the team, you’ll build these models into Benchling end‑to‑end, from experimenting with the latest models to designing our inference architecture to shipping intuitive interfaces within our scientific applications. It’s early days for scientific AI models, both at Benchling and in the industry at large. We’ll rapidly iterate with customers and change directions quickly, figuring out new patterns for how we develop and go to market. We’ll win if we stay curious and obsess over our customers.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Implement new scientific models end-to-end , from experimenting with new models to integrating them into our infrastructure and user‑facing products.
• Engineer across the stack , from building scalable inference services to creating intuitive interfaces that bring predictions directly into scientific workflows.
• Work directly with customers to ideate use cases, gather feedback, and onboard scientific teams.
• Shape how we build AI at Benchling , driving experimentation, contributing to technical direction, and helping evolve our engineering and product development practices as the field matures.
