Product Manager, Infrastructure

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.

We're hiring a Product Manager to own prioritization and roadmap for Benchling’s core infrastructure teams. You'll turn engineering constraints, customer pain, and business priorities into a clear, defensible roadmap and you'll make the prioritization calls, with the support of the team, to stay focused on the highest-impact work. Success comes from helping the business understand infrastructure constraints and opportunities, and on the other side helping the infrastructure teams stay connected to business to better anticipate future needs and make strategic long-term investments.

You are not expected to be a systems architect or write technical designs but you're expected to understand infrastructure well enough that you can work with engineering to make crisp trade-off calls under incomplete information.
