Benchling
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. Benchling’s mission is to unlock the power of biotechnology. The world’s most innovative biotech companies use Benchling’s 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 The Product Design team at Benchling is committed to building user experiences that support the scientists who are solving the world’s most important problems. Our work has a direct impact on making scientific workflows more efficient while improving the quality of that research—ultimately helping to drive the biotech revolution.
We’re looking for an experienced Product Designer to design Benchling’s Process Development product, enabling scientists to scale recipe design, experiment planning, batch execution, and analysis. You will own the end-to-end user experience for our Bioprocess product, working cross-functionally with scientists, engineers, designers, and GTM teams to bring new capabilities to life. An ideal person for this team will be able to balance customer needs and priorities with scalable, consistent, delightful user experiences in an agile environment.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Work with Product Management and Engineering teams to define product strategy, scope, and prioritization in a startup-like environment
Own the design for high-impact initiatives from research, concepts, wireframing, mockups, through to implementation
Design and prototype multiple ideas quickly to validate product directions
Conduct user research / interviews to inform product direction, interactive improvements to increase usability
Use and contribute to evolving design systems by collaborating with other Designers to identify gaps, and design components that have high utility across the entire product
Clearly communicate design rationale to cross-functional teams, and Product and Design leadership
Effectively communicate in a hybrid environment that balances in-person collaboration and remote work
QUALIFICATIONS
5+ years of experience driving the design of software products, ideally SaaS, while maintaining a relentless focus on the user
A strong portfolio of relevant design work that conveys an ability to ship successful products
A track record of working with and simplifying complex product architectures or workflows
Strong communication skills and ability to explain the reasoning behind complex decisions
Experience contributing to a design system for complex software products
Experience working with Product Management, Engineers, and fellow Designers in an agile environment
