Software Engineer, Scientific Models
Benchling
Title: Software Engineer, Scientific Models Location: San Francisco, CA Full time Hybrid Department: Engineering Compensation - $173,113 – $234,388 • Offers Equity U.S. Benefits Full-time U.S. employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits program including equity, health, dental, vision, 401(k)+ employer match, wellness, commuter, and more. Benchling takes a market-based approach to pay. The candidate's starting pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, interview performance, and work location. Department: Engineering Job Description: We are rebuilding biotech for the AI era. When a breakthrough is delayed, the world waits. Getting a molecule from discovery to patients, or a crop from lab to field, involves thousands of slow, manual, disconnected steps. AI has the potential to change this, compressing decades of R&D work into years. But that only happens when clean, structured scientific data and AI are built into how science gets done. Benchling is the AI platform for biotech R&D. Scientists use Benchling to design experiments, capture structured data, and run AI agents and models directly in their workflows. Over 200,000 scientists around the world trust Benchling to power their most important work, from academic labs to Sanofi, Moderna, and more than half of the world's top 50 biopharma. 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. ROLE OVERVIEW We’re a team that’s embedding cutting-edge scientific AI models into Benchling to help scientists design better molecules. Scientific models (e.g. AlphaFold) predict structures, assess properties, and even generate new ideas, acting as a design partner as scientists design life-saving therapeutics and other molecules. As an engineer on the team, you’ll focus on building a scalable platform for scientific models. You’ll experiment with the latest models, define standards for model developers to be able to contribute their models, and design our architecture for fast inference. It’s early days for scientific AI models, both at Benchling and in the industry at large. We’ll rapidly iterate with customers and change directions quickly, figuring out new patterns for how we develop and go to market. We’ll win if we stay curious and obsess over our customers. RESPONSIBILITIES - Build and scale our scientific model platform by designing and implementing infrastructure for model inference that is fast, reliable, and cost-effective across a diverse set of scientific models. - Define standards and tooling for model developers, creating frameworks that make it easy to integrate, test, and ship third-party open-source and proprietary models into Benchling. - Work directly with customers to ideate use cases, gather feedback, and onboard scientific teams. - Shape how we build AI at Benchling, driving experimentation, contributing to technical direction, and helping evolve our engineering and product development practices as the field matures. QUALIFICATIONS - 3+ years of software engineering or equivalent research experience, developing or deploying scientific models in an industry or academic setting. - Strong experience with backend systems and infrastructure for supporting scientific model training or inference. - Strong technical and analytical skills for optimizing compute-intensive systems. - Collaborative mindset, able to work closely with engineers, product managers, and scientists to bring new ideas to life. - Desire to work in a fast-paced environment, where priorities can shift and rapid experimentation is encouraged. HOW WE WORK We offer a flexible hybrid work arrangement that prioritizes in-office collaboration. Employees are expected to be on-site 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday). #LI-Hybrid #BI-Hybrid Benchling welcomes everyone. We believe diversity enriches our team so we hire people with a wide range of identities, backgrounds, and experiences. We are an equal opportunity employer. That means we don’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We also consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records, consistent with applicable federal, state and local law, including but not limited to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.
