Benchling

Product Manager, Developer Platform

AI summary of the role

This Product Manager owns the developer platform roadmap for Benchling's APIs, SDKs, MCPs, and developer experience, serving as the internal voice of external developers building agentic R&D workflows on top of Benchling.

What you’ll do

  • Own the end-to-end roadmap for Benchling's developer-facing products: REST APIs, MCPs, SDKs, API playground, code examples, and code recipes.
  • Define new platform primitives for customers building agentic R&D workflows on top of Benchling.
  • Work cross-functionally with Solutions Engineering, Partnerships, and Customer Success to build a scalable platform foundation for the partner ecosystem (Quilt, Calira, Code Ocean, Seqera, and others).
  • Own the developer experience end-to-end and close the gap between what developers expect and what we deliver in docs, APIs, and support.

What you’ll bring

  • 3-5 years of product management experience with hands-on ownership of API, SDK, or developer platform products.
  • Technical fluency: can read code, review API specs, and have credible conversations with engineers.
  • Developer empathy: obsess over developer experience and understand AI-era tooling (MCPs, LLM-friendly APIs, agentic workflows).
  • Familiarity with the modern developer stack — APIs, SDKs, documentation, and developer onboarding.
