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 expanding into additional modalities including chemistry, and has a plan to rapidly bring tools to the chemistry market. This is a major step forward, as these capabilities are among the most often requested by our customers, and they align with Benchling’s work on antibodies and other modalities as well as development. The chemistry team will build from our existing support for molecules toward a full chemistry solution, integrated with our notebook and our core registry product. Benchling’s customers interact with our products daily, and they trust them with their most important assets. Chemistry is a full-stack team on a mission to accelerate science by creating powerful, intuitive tools that support a broad range of scientific workflows. We obsess over quality and data integrity.
We're looking for an experienced manager to support the engineers on our Chemistry team within the Scientific Modalities group. We're particularly excited to hear from managers with a track record of obsessing over customer needs and product quality as they build their roadmaps and guide their team's execution.
