Job Description

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.

Benchlings mission is to unlock the power of biotechnology. The worlds most innovative biotech companies use Benchlings 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 brings best-in-breed data infrastructure to the world's leading biotech companies. As an Infrastructure Engineer, you'll shape our platform for agility, performance, and security. Our core infrastructure team empowers growth, ensuring reliability and scalability for the future. Join to build out new services, capabilities, and patterns that enable the next generation of scientific workflows and automation.

We're seeking experienced engineers to join our dynamic Platform team. Collaborate with former Stripe, Google, and Meta engineers to create a robust backbone for our platform, enabling new forms of automation and integration in the life science space. Your work will be pivotal as we grow alongside our global user base, providing highly reliable and trusted infrastructure.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, build, and maintain core infrastructure hosted on AWS.
• Build developer-facing systems to test, build, and deploy Benchlings software.
• Define and implement our infrastructural security posture.
• Develop monitoring/observability and automation as part of a lean operations function
• Define and lead processes for site reliability that will be used across Engineering and Customer Experience.
• These are examples of projects we've worked on in the past or may work on in the near future - our projects are often changing, but this will hopefully give you an idea of the work to be done.
• Iterating on our tenancy model and architecture to build out resource isolation, data segmentation, and deployment models as we scale our customer base.
• Building a test and deploy pipeline on Buildkite - we have a large test suite and a large number of Benchling instances and need tools to deploy faster while maintaining the same degree of reliability.
• Improving network performance for global users - this is an open-ended problem which needs to be solved as our user base becomes increasingly international.
• Observability - mature our monitoring, tracing, and alerting systems so we have the right dashboards, notifications, and tools to quickly identify and resolve operational issues.
• Automating remediation of fault conditions to improve overall reliability and eliminate repetitive operational tasks.
• Building tooling and infrastructure for a more modular/service-based architecture - we're not religious about microservices or monoliths, but we plan to scale our architecture with our engineering team.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Have 5 or more years of experience as a DevOps engineer, Site Reliability engineer, or Software Engineer building platform infrastructure.
• Have experience with deployment and configuration management frameworks such as Terraform, Ansible, or Chef; with CI/CD systems such as BuildKite or Jenkins; and with containers and container management systems such as Kubernetes or Amazon ECS.
• Understand cloud computing, virtualization, and microservices architectures. Experience with major cloud platforms, especially AWS, is a plus.
• Write clear, well-tested code in Python, Java, Go, or Ruby.
• Have a bachelors degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
