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 hiring New Grad Software Engineers to join our 2026 class in San Francisco.

RESPONSIBILITIES Work with and learn from a strong team of engineers. We grow our new grads through mentorship and ownership. Own projects end-to-end, from initial design, to prototype, to large-scale rollout. You might: Design and implement backend models and API endpoints for complex scientific workflows. Design and implement rich frontend components and architecture. We build and operate one of the largest, richest React applications out there and power complex scientific analyses. Design and build a platform framework or infrastructure tool for other Benchling engineers to use. Work closely with product managers, designers, marketing, and sales to ensure that we’re building the right thing. 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. Check out our engineering blog and product overview for some examples of past work and current projects.
