Software Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure

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.

As a software engineer on Benchling's Infrastructure team, you will design, build, and operate the platforms, services, and tooling that let every Benchling engineering team ship and run software reliably, securely, and cost-effectively. Our work spans the foundations of our AWS environment: compute (Kubernetes/EKS), networking, secrets and identity, observability, infrastructure-as-code, and the economics of running all of it at scale.

We hire software engineers for this team because strong programming, systems design, and problem-solving skills are the most durable foundation for infrastructure impact. You will independently scope and own meaningful, multi-quarter pieces of our platform end to end, from an ambiguous starting point to a production rollout and operational handoff, building paved roads that make the secure, reliable, and efficient path the default for engineers across Benchling.
