Build and maintain delivery systems for real-time scientific data Bonus: AI Agents & Model Context Protocol (MCP) Contribute to the development of APIs and interfaces that support AI-driven agents like Benchling’s Deep Research Agent and Data Entry Agent. Support the development of our Benchling MCP to enable AI agents to interact safely with Benchling’s data and APIs. Collaborate with our AI infra / agents teams to support the agentic ecosystem. Bonus: APIs for ingesting/exporting large amounts of data Architect and implement high-throughput APIs designed specifically for bulk data ingestion and export, capable of handling millions of records daily with minimal latency.
