## About the role

As a software engineer on Benchling's Infrastructure team, you will design, build, and operate the platforms, services, and tooling that let every Benchling engineering team ship and run software reliably, securely, and cost-effectively. Our work spans the foundations of our AWS environment: compute (Kubernetes/EKS), networking, secrets and identity, observability, infrastructure-as-code, and the economics of running all of it at scale. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, site reliability, platform, or infrastructure engineering
- Have strong software engineering fundamentals (coding, testing, debugging, API and system design) and proficiency in at least one general-purpose language such as Python, Go, or TypeScript
- Have hands-on experience with AWS (for example EC2, EKS, RDS, VPC, IAM, S3) and understand how compute, storage, networking, and security fit together
- Have production experience with infrastructure-as-code, ideally Terraform at meaningful scale
- Have working knowledge of Kubernetes and container-based platforms
- Have a track record of independently scoping and delivering complex, ambiguous, multi-month projects from proposal to production, including writing technical design documents and communicating tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
