Get Access To All JobsWe are rebuilding biotech for the AI era. When a breakthrough is delayed, the world waits. Getting a molecule from discovery to patients, or a crop from lab to field, involves thousands of slow, manual, disconnected steps. AI has the potential to change this, compressing decades of R&D work into years. But that only happens when clean, structured scientific data and AI are built into how science gets done. Benchling is the AI platform for biotech R&D. Scientists use Benchling to design experiments, capture structured data, and run AI agents and models directly in their workflows. Over 200,000 scientists around the world trust Benchling to power their most important work, from academic labs to Sanofi, Moderna, and more than half of the world's top 50 biopharma.
Role Overview
Benchling's Registry and Inventory offerings provide our scientists with a conceptual and physical representation of the entities that are important to their work, offering a balance of flexibility to facilitate rapid creation of entities and validation when data is finalized, providing tooling for the creation of standardized entity names and identifiers, and supporting materials tracking across the containers and plates in use for their research. They are at the core of our enterprise offering, and they are critical to our key initiatives, including antibody discovery. Our customers interact with these products daily, and they trust them with their most important assets. We are a full-stack team on a mission to accelerate science by creating powerful, intuitive tools that support a broad range of scientific workflows. We obsess over quality and data integrity.
Responsibilities
- Drive complex, end-to-end projects: Lead the design, implementation, and delivery of high-impact features and systems across the stack (React + Python). Translate product requirements into scalable architecture and thoughtful user experiences, while proactively identifying risks and tradeoffs.
- Shape technical direction and architecture: Make foundational engineering decisions that improve system performance, reliability, and scalability. Collaborate with other senior engineers to evolve our platform and influence long-term technical strategy.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with product managers, designers, customer success, and other engineering teams to create clarity and ensure alignment on goals, seamless handoffs, and shared understanding of scientific user needs.
- Identify and address technical debt: Own proactive improvements to the codebase and infrastructure. Refactor critical systems for maintainability and performance, and champion investments that improve long-term developer velocity.
- Design for performance and scale: Build systems that can handle the complexity and scale of life sciences R&D. Optimize backend performance, frontend responsiveness, and system reliability.
- Mentor and support other engineers: Act as a technical mentor and sounding board for other engineers. Help grow the team’s technical skills through guidance, pairing, and knowledge sharing. Be a force multiplier for the team.
- Elevate code quality and engineering practices: Set high standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and operational excellence. Lead by example, perform thorough code reviews, and help raise the bar across the team.
- Embrace ambiguity and domain complexity: Operate effectively in a fast-paced environment with evolving scientific requirements. Rapidly learn new technologies and help the team do the same.
Qualifications
- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong coding skills and engineering fundamentals – able to turn product requirements into well-architected, maintainable, and tested code
- Experience building scalable, reliable systems with attention to performance and user impact
- Proven ability to work across teams – partnering with product, design, and platform groups to ship cohesive solutions
- Strategic problem solving – tackles complex, ambiguous technical challenges with a focus on long-term impact, scalability, and user value
- Clear and effective communicator, especially in cross-functional settings
- Curiosity and adaptability – excited to learn about life sciences and work in a fast-changing domain (no prior domain knowledge required – though it’s a huge bonus)

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Which technology companies sponsor Green Card visas in California?
California's largest technology employers, including Google, Apple, Meta, Intel, Salesforce, Adobe, and Nvidia, have established Green Card sponsorship programs and regularly file PERM labor certifications for qualifying roles. Beyond the major names, mid-size SaaS companies and semiconductor firms throughout the Bay Area and San Diego corridor also sponsor Green Cards, particularly for engineering and product roles where specialized skills are in demand.
Which cities in California have the most technology Green Card sponsorship jobs?
The San Francisco Bay Area, covering San Jose, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and San Francisco itself, accounts for the highest concentration of technology Green Card sponsorship activity in the state. Los Angeles and its surrounding tech corridor, including Culver City and Santa Monica, represent the second-largest cluster. San Diego is notable for its biotech and semiconductor sector, where sponsorship is also common for qualified engineers and researchers.
What types of technology roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in California?
Software engineering, machine learning engineering, data science, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and product management roles are among the most commonly sponsored technology positions in California. These roles typically qualify under EB-2 (requiring an advanced degree or exceptional ability) or EB-3 (for professionals with a bachelor's degree). Employers generally initiate PERM labor certification when they cannot fill a position with a qualified U.S. worker after a documented recruitment process.
How do I find technology Green Card sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate lists technology jobs in California where employers have indicated Green Card sponsorship availability, making it straightforward to filter specifically for that combination rather than sifting through general job listings. Because sponsorship willingness is not always advertised on standard postings, using Migrate Mate to search California technology roles helps you identify employers actively open to sponsoring international candidates through employment-based Green Card pathways.
Are there California-specific considerations for Green Card sponsorship in the technology industry?
California's competitive technology hiring market means employers are generally more experienced with employment-based immigration processes, but it also means PERM recruitment steps must genuinely reflect a good-faith effort to hire locally before sponsorship proceeds. California's strong labor protections and active state labor agencies mean employers follow DOL prevailing wage determinations closely. Candidates with prior H-1B or L-1 status in California often have priority dates already accruing, which can affect their Green Card timeline under the employment-based preference system.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card technology jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
