Software Engineer, Full Stack (Admin & Identity Platform)

ROLE OVERVIEW

Benchling is on a mission to accelerate the pace of life sciences research and development. To do that, we build a suite of tools that scientists use daily to solve humanity's most pressing problems. The tools we build must be optimized to make scientists more efficient in their work, across a broad spectrum of research, development, and manufacturing tasks.

This role is an opportunity to join App Core & IAM, a foundational Platform team at Benchling. This team is responsible for the core functionality that controls how users authenticate with our product, what they are authorized to access, and how Benchling's features are enabled and configured.

As a Software Engineer on this team, you will build new features and tools that help users unlock the full potential of the Benchling application. You will also work closely with other Platform and Application teams across Benchling, helping them leverage these core services to ship value in their respective product areas. You will have an opportunity to ship quality code at a high velocity, while prioritizing enterprise grade security and compliance.

• You'll be a key partner to product and design, collaborating to transform ideas into thoughtful, high-quality features for our users.
• You'll do more than just ship code—you'll help us build a better engineering organization by improving our tools, processes, and helping us hire great people.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 1+ year of experience as a software engineer or are current enrollment in a BS/MS degree in computer science and/or STEM field with an expected graduation date of Summer 2026, and a target start date of Summer 2026.
• A prior software engineering internship or similar experience.
• Strong abilities in problem solving and iterating on feedback.
• A desire to have ownership over building key pieces of product and/or platform.
• A product-first approach to building software. You ship code quickly and care about the real world impact of your code.
• You are able to join us in our San Francisco office on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
