Data Engineer
Benchling, San Francisco, CA
The role
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.
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.
Benchling is building AI & Data Engineering (AIDE), a small, autonomous team within our Security & IT organization. AIDE owns three things: internal AI tooling, adoption, and AI-assisted workflows across the company; cross-functional and company-wide agentic AI applications that no single department owns; and the enterprise data engineering, analytics architecture, and source-of-truth datasets that everything above depends on. AIDE’s data and analytics functions grew out of our former Data, Analytics & Systems (DAS) team, and this role carries forward DAS's original charter: building and running the data pipelines, warehouse, and analytics infrastructure that the entire company relies on for trustworthy answers.
