Descrição da oferta de emprego

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 looking for a Technical Solutions Architect with expertise across life sciences R&D and complex software systems, working as the key technical partner to both customer and internal engineering teams to design and deliver impactful solutions that drive scientific progress.

You will be responsible for scoping end user requirements, designing solutions, and ensuring the successful delivery of custom automation and integration solutions for Benchling users.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead technical consulting engagements with IT professionals at the cutting edge of biotechnology to understand their IT landscape (e.g., scientific/informatics software and instruments) and recommend how best Benchling can enable their informatics vision.
• Design, prototype, and oversee the delivery of cloud-based integrations and automations on top of Benchling’s developer platform.
• Engage cross-functionally with product and engineering to communicate customer feedback, and align proposed solutions with Benchling roadmap and feature availability.

• Comfortable using REST APIs and Python to design and build integration demos, and write and share example code with customer Developers.
