Benchling customers typically operate one or more production tenants with large scale data and configurations. We support critical workflows such as tenant creation, data and configuration syncing across supported environments, ensuring safe and validated rollout of features. These capabilities help customers manage the benching platform via a suite of tenants that in turn enable scientists to do their best work faster, repeatable and more effectively.
We work closely with infrastructure teams to evolve our cloud architecture and scale multi-tenancy effectively. We also partner with product engineering to ensure our platform integrates seamlessly with scientist-facing Benchling products.
As an engineer on the Tenancy team, you’ll design and build systems that are foundational to Benchling’s long-term growth and operational excellence. Your work will span across application and platform teams, directly influencing company-wide initiatives by enabling faster, safer, and more reliable software delivery for our customers.
