synthetic biology are producing sustainable and ethical food.
Benchling---s mission is to accelerate the research that propels us
towards this reality, and magnify its impact, through modern
software.Every day, hundreds of thousands of scientists around the
world use Benchling in their efforts to solve humanity's most
pressing problems. For these scientists, Benchling is the central
technology they use to conduct their research.Benchling was founded
by a team of MIT graduates and has raised funding from Benchmark,
Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive Capital, and Y Combinator. Our

software with a product-first approach. You ship code quickly and
care about the real world impact of your code.Have strong abilities
in problem solving and iterating on feedback.Enjoy ownership and
building key pieces of product.Are interested in learning more
about life science (prior knowledge is not required; desire to
learn is a must).YOU MIGHT WORK ONCheck out our engineering blog
for some examples of past work. Here are some other examples of
recent and future projects:Complex querying and visualization tools
- The big advantage of keeping all your data stored in one system
is that you can query that data all at once, without digging up
multiple sources. This works best when you can query Benchling the
same way you can query a database: by choosing from a large number
of possible filters on any related objects, joining together
various sources, and performing aggregations. We want to enable
this in a user-friendly experience, without leaving your
browser.Data warehouse as a product - customers can click a button
and spin up a fully-managed, query-able warehouse with all their
Benchling data in one place. Customers get the full power of
Redshift/Postgres without having to manage ETL pipelines or tune
Postgres configuration values.A new permissions system - Our
existing permission system relies on Read/Write/Admin access that
can only be applied at the top level of the file hierarchy. To roll
out to enterprises with 500 users, we need to offer them
fine-grained control around exactly what actions a user can take
and let them manage these in a hierarchical fashion.OUR
VALUESEmpower through information. We explain the ---why--- behind
every decision, unless there are highly sensitive circumstances.
We're honest about how we're doing, especially in difficult times.
We believe that sharing information builds trust and enables better
decision-making.Rely on tenacity. Hard work is one of the greatest
factors to determine success and is fully under our control. We
must make the most of every day by bringing the highest level of
determination. Dreaming big is not enough.Raise the bar. Pushing
ourselves and others to improve will be uncomfortable and at times
result in failure. However, it's critical to our success. We're
dedicated to creating a place where everyone feels challenged to
improve.Build a lever. We choose to build tools and infrastructure
that will help others make world-changing innovations. There's less
glory in it, but in the words of Archimedes, "Give me a lever long
enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the
world."PERKS AND BENEFITSWork with a talented yet humble
