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.
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 building AI & Data Engineering (AIDE), a small, autonomous team within our Security & IT organization. AIDE owns three things: internal AI tooling, adoption, and AI-assisted workflows across the company; cross-functional and company-wide agentic AI applications that no single department owns; and the enterprise data engineering, analytics architecture, and source-of-truth datasets that everything above depends on. AIDE’s data and analytics functions grew out of our former Data, Analytics & Systems (DAS) team, and this role carries forward DAS's original charter: building and running the data pipelines, warehouse, and analytics infrastructure that the entire company relies on for trustworthy answers.
This is a data engineering role — we want someone who builds and operates reliable, production-grade data pipelines and warehouse infrastructure, not a data scientist focused on modeling or analysis.
This role exists because AIDE's data function supports the whole company — GTM, Customer Success, Product, Finance, and beyond — not just one team, and the team needs to grow to support these initiatives as we expand the team’s scope and portfolio. You'll own core pipelines end to end (ingestion, transformation, warehouse, and the BI/analytics layer on top), partner with the rest of the data team on the team's data architecture, and help build the trusted data foundation that AIDE's AI-adoption and agentic AI work increasingly depends on.
Check out our engineering blog for examples of past work across Benchling.
Own core data pipelines end to end: Build and operate the ELT pipeline that moves data from Benchling's product, Salesforce, and third-party systems into Snowflake, modeled with dbt, and built to production standards — testing, monitoring, schema versioning — that hold up as usage scales. This is infrastructure the rest of the company builds on, not a one-off project.
Build the data foundation for AIDE's AI initiatives: Partner with AIDE's AI engineering side to make governed, trustworthy data available for the agentic AI tooling and internal AI applications the team ships.
Own data governance and pipeline health: Maintain Snowflake access controls (RBAC), monitor data quality, uphold PII-handling and data-access policy, and manage warehouse cost and performance as usage grows.
Contribute to platform strategy: Weigh in on bigger structural decisions — warehouse architecture, semantic layer/metrics store design— alongside the rest of the data and AI engineering team.
3+ years of professional experience building and operating production data pipelines — ingestion, transformation, and modeling data into a cloud data warehouse.
Strong SQL and Python skills; hands on experience with data modeling methodologies and tools, preferable with dbt.
Experience applying software engineering practices to data systems — version control, code review, CI/CD, automated testing — and comfort working with cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar) supporting production pipelines.
Experience with Snowflake or a comparable modern cloud data warehouse in production.
Comfort with orchestration tooling (Airflow or similar) for scheduled data jobs.
Track record supporting many stakeholders across departments such as Sales, CS, Product, Finance, rather than a single internal customer.
Understanding of data privacy, governance, quality, and testing frameworks and best practices.
Strong communication skills; comfortable translating ambiguous requests from non-technical stakeholders into a scoped, buildable data solution.
Comfortable in a small, fast-moving, still-forming team — AIDE only stood up in its current form in mid-2026 and is actively defining its own processes.
Interest in learning more about life science (prior knowledge is not required).
NICE TO HAVE
Familiarity with product behavioral data and a modern BI tool (Sigma, Omni, Looker, Tableau) deployed in a self-service model.
Experience with product/usage analytics instrumentation and event-taxonomy governance.
Familiarity with GTM analytics tools such as Salesforce.
Exposure to AI-usage telemetry, LLM observability data, or supporting AI/ML tooling with curated data.
Background in enterprise SaaS, life sciences, or biotech.
Experience building or maintaining a metrics layer.
We offer a flexible hybrid work arrangement that prioritizes in-office collaboration. Employees are expected to be on-site 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday).

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in San Francisco, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How San Francisco compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, San Francisco is #4 by population, #139 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #20 for remote work (#1 = most), #25 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, San Francisco County, is #3 of 58 counties for average pay ($174,103).
San Francisco has 830,235 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 2.1% of the population of California. It covers 47 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 17,784 people per square mile. The median age is 40.0, 6% older than the state median (40.0 against 37.9).
The median gross rent is $2,476 a month (rent plus utilities), 22% above the state median ($2,476 against $2,036). Over a year that is 21.1% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $1,394,500, which is 9.9 times the median household income ($140,970); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 38.2% of households own their home, 32% below the state average (38.2% against 55.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA metropolitan area has 2,373,920 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $74,260 a year, 46% above the national median ($74,260 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (226,320 jobs, median $62,120); management (223,100 jobs, median $176,340); business and financial operations (207,030 jobs, median $112,960). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.9 times) and life, physical, and social science (1.8 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($176,340) and computer and mathematical ($167,770). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of San Francisco County was 4.0%. 69.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in San Francisco County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 28.6% drive alone, 18.7% use public transit, 9.3% walk, 31.0% work from home. 21.6% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 11% above the state average (21.6% against 19.4%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
60.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 63% above the state share (60.3% against 37.1%). 34.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 26% above the state share (34.0% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 11.2%, 7% below the state rate (11.2% against 12.0%).
The warmest month is Sep, averaging 59°F (14.9°C), and the coolest is Apr at 53°F (11.6°C). About 515 mm (20 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (112 mm) and Jul the driest (2 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Daly City (31 miles, rent 3% higher); Pacifica (31 miles, rent 25% higher); San Bruno (34 miles, rent 12% higher); Millbrae (36 miles, rent 32% higher). Rent differences are against San Francisco; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
