The Opportunity
We are seeking an exceptional Quantitative Software Developer (Life Sciences) to join a world-class computational research organization at the intersection of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and drug discovery. In this role, you will design and support the critical software infrastructure that enables our chemists, biologists, and ML engineers to understand molecular behavior at an atomic level and design life-saving therapeutics.
You will have the chance to work with some of the most advanced computational technologies in existence—including proprietary supercomputing architectures and massive-scale commodity clusters—to solve the most challenging problems in structural biology and pharmacology.
Core Responsibilities
As a versatile member of our software team, your work will span the full lifecycle of scientific tool development. Areas of impact include:
Scientific Workflows: Building and optimizing high-performance pipelines for molecular dynamics and virtual screening.
Cheminformatics & Databases: Engineering large-scale chemical databases and developing algorithms for small molecule design.
Backend & Systems: Developing scalable backend systems and high-speed data management tools to handle petabyte-scale research data.
Visualization & Analysis: Creating sophisticated software to visualize complex molecular interactions and analyze experimental results.
Infrastructure: Supporting the integration of machine learning models into production drug discovery efforts.
Qualifications & Skills
We value intellectual curiosity and a track record of achievement over mastery of a specific niche. However, the ideal candidate will possess a deep technical foundation in the following:
Technical Essentials:
Programming Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Python and C++.
Systems Fluency: Deep comfort with Linux/UNIX tools and environments.
Cheminformatics Expertise: Extensive experience with software packages for molecular modeling, docking, virtual screening, or computer-aided drug design (CADD).
Highly Valued Experience:
Workflow Engineering: Experience developing complex pipelines for cluster architectures.
High-Performance Computing (HPC): Knowledge of data-parallel computing, GPU optimization, or systems-level software development.
Large-Scale Data: Expertise in managing and querying massive, high-dimensional chemical or biological datasets.
Culture & Benefits
We are committed to fostering a stimulating, positive, and collaborative environment where innovative contributors can thrive.
Hybrid Flexibility: A "3+2" schedule (Tuesday–Thursday in the NYC office; Monday/Friday optional remote).
Comprehensive Support: Generous benefits including relocation and immigration assistance.
