BT Systems Engineer

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 200000 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.
