Software Engineer, Applications (App Foundations) (High Seniority)

The App Foundations group — comprised of our Lab Notebook and Enterprise Lifecycle teams — builds the surfaces and systems at the heart of the Benchling experience. On one side, that's how scientists capture their work every day — the Notebook and the structured data-input tables where experimental data becomes clean, structured, and analyzable. On the other, it's the enterprise lifecycle capabilities that make that data trustworthy at scale: audit trails, review and approval, exports, and backups. These are the features that show up in FDA submissions and GxP-regulated workflows, and they're what lets Benchling's largest customers — internationally recognizable names developing some of the world's most innovative treatments — operate with confidence in regulated environments.

As a Software Engineer at the High Seniority level, you will be the senior engineering authority for the Lab Notebook and Enterprise Lifecycle teams — owning horizontally impactful systems while directly enabling the product features enterprise customers depend on. This role sits squarely at the intersection of platform and product work, and demands both deep technical expertise and strong product sense. You will also serve as an IC leader across the broader Applications division, helping set engineering direction that reaches well beyond any single team.

This role reports to the Head of Engineering for Applications and works day-to-day as the senior IC anchor for the Lab Notebook and Enterprise Lifecycle teams.
