About the Role
You will be working on problems in software including but not limited to agent infrastructure and systems, model benchmarking at scale, full stack web development, developer and user experience, and process optimization. You will work on a small team and have control over the direction you take and problems you tackle. You may work on scaling and improving a large scale internal benchmarking platform, planning and delivering features to improve quality and speed, and supporting ever evolving customer requirements and difficult computational tasks. Where appropriate, your work may dip into research for agentic biology.

About the Company
- We build the benchmarks that test whether frontier AI can actually do computational biology.
- Pharma, biotech, and solution providers rely on benchmarks.bio to evaluate and improve their AI systems - and we're just getting started.
- We released the first rigorous benchmark suites for biology agents. They contain hundreds of real-world problems drawn directly from industry workflows.
- Our research shows that harness design - the tools, prompts, and control flow around a model - moves outcomes as much as swapping the base model itself. This insight is reshaping how frontier labs think about building with AI.
- We've grown revenue 6x in the past 12 months.
- We have a repeatable sales process and deep partnerships with 10X Genomics, Vizgen, Takara Bio, and AtlasXOmics.
- We have more demand than we can meet.
- We're scaling rapidly across engineering.
- We're building benchmarks across omics, therapeutics, and surveillance.
- We need engineers to build the infrastructure that powers our benchmarking pipeline - data ingestion, eval design, grading systems, and infrastructure.
- Work with scientists and frontier models.
- Ship fast.
- Our charter and continued mission is to accelerate biological science so that humanity can benefit from better bioengineering, whether that be medical technology, farming, or environmental conservation.
