About the role

Product Manager focused on Benchling's developer platform, owning the roadmap for developer-facing products (APIs, MCPs, SDKs, API playground, code examples) and ensuring a seamless developer experience to support agentic R&D workflows on Benchling.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end roadmap for Benchling's developer-facing products: REST APIs, MCPs, SDKs, API playground, code examples, and code recipes.
  • Our most sophisticated customers are building agentic R&D workflows on top of Benchling and need primitives that don't exist yet. You'll define what those primitives are, get them built, and make sure developers can actually use them.
  • Our partner ecosystem (Quilt, Calira, Code Ocean, Seqera, and others) needs extensibility that scales beyond one-off integrations. You'll work cross-functionally with Solutions Engineering, Partnerships, and Customer Success to build the platform foundation that makes this possible.
  • Developers who try to build on Benchling today hit walls fast — in our docs, our APIs, and our support. You'll own the developer experience end-to-end and close the gap between what developers expect and what we deliver.
  • We don't have a clear line of sight into how developers are actually using our platform. You'll establish the feedback loops through interviews, support signals, and usage data and make sure those learnings shape roadmap decisions across the Build org.

Qualifications

  • 3-5 years of product management experience, with hands-on ownership of API, SDK, or developer platform products
  • Technical fluency: you can read code, review API specs, and have credible conversations with engineers
  • Developer empathy at your core: you obsess over the developer experience and are constantly thinking about how AI-era tooling (MCPs, LLM-friendly APIs, agentic workflows) can enhance what developers can do with Benchling
  • Familiarity with the modern developer stack — APIs, SDKs, documentation, and developer onboarding
  • Strong communicator: you write crisp requirements and can present clearly to engineers, stakeholders, and customers alike
