ROLE OVERVIEW

As a technical leader working on the Domain Graph and API team, you’ll build foundational technologies relied on by our customers’ engineers and internal engineers at Benchling. Benchling is a system of record so giving our customers APIs with full, consistent coverage is a key component of our product strategy. Over 80% of our customers use custom built software in the critical path of their business processes and that software is powered by the APIs that this team owns

This team is also fundamentally evolving Benchling’s core development stack to be domain driven and API first. They define best practices for other platform and product teams to ensure modeling consistency, as well as defining interfaces to adjacent systems that persist data and generate change events. As a technical leader, you will have the opportunity to shape the technical strategy and drive adoption across Benchling product and platform teams and your work will be key to several company-level goals.

  • Mentorship and Team Development: Provide mentorship to fellow engineers, contribute to team growth, and drive improvements in engineering processes and tools.
  • Performance and Reliability: Implement comprehensive testing, monitoring, and optimization strategies to ensure the reliability and performance of platform systems.
  • Innovation and Improvement: Engage in continuous improvement efforts, including re-architecting systems, reducing engineering effort, and enhancing platform capabilities to better serve our internal and external stakeholders.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in enterprise software engineering (ideally SaaS), with a focus on platform development. Experience in re-architecting systems and leading multi-quarter projects.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in backend development, API design, and data management. Experience with architecture migrations and performance optimization is highly desirable.

  • Eagerness to Learn: Enthusiasm for diving into complex technical challenges and a keen interest in the life sciences domain, with a willingness to learn and adapt.
