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.
Role Overview
Benchling is on a mission to unlock the power of biotechnology.
The Scientific Modalities team builds tools and platform that help scientists do their research - like our molecular biology suite, which scientists use to analyze and work with DNA, RNA and proteins. Some of the tools help scientists better manage their data and collaborate easily replacing their spreadsheets, pen and paper workflows, while others are tools that are innovatively built to enable new forms of research in cloud by integrating with the rich Benchling platform. We are also looking towards extending the capabilities with a rich ecosystem of first party and third party applications.
We're looking for an experienced manager to support the engineers on one of the Scientific Modalities teams. 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.
YOUR IMPACT
- Recruit, develop, and manage a team of outstanding full-stack product engineers.
- Partner closely with product, design, and data science to define the team's roadmap and long-term product strategy.
- Translate strategy in to execution by developing and implementing quarterly roadmaps with clear metrics and targets.
- Hold an unreasonably high bar for product quality, as the team performs its work.
- Meet with customers to understand their science & what they need from Benchling.
- Build a positive relationship with partners across other engineering organizations and other functions across the company.
- Engage executive leadership on the long term product and business goals and strategy for the team
- Contribute to engineering-wide interpersonal improvements as part of the management team.
ABOUT YOU
- Experience leading impactful engineering teams.
- Led engineering teams that were responsible for a customer-focused product.
- Led geographically distributed teams.
- Grown high-trajectory, early-to-mid-career engineers into leaders with company-wide impact.
- Experience (and enjoy!) working directly with customers to advise your team's roadmap.
- Curiosity about science, biology or biotechnology!
