Additional Information
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.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are seeking an Enterprise Solutions Architect with deep expertise in life science R&D and enterprise software systems to partner with Benchling's customers in driving the biotech revolution forward.
The Enterprise Solutions Architect serves as a strategic advisor and technical leader for our enterprise customers, translating their IT strategy into tailored Benchling solutions. This role encompasses guiding organizations through digital transformation, leading technical implementation projects, overseeing solution architecture, and establishing best practices and data architecture standards to ensure long-term success.
