Job Description

Schrödinger seeks a Senior Software Developer to join us in our mission to transform the discovery of therapeutics and materials.

As a member of the LiveDesign team, you’ll join a group of passionate engineers and scientists in their efforts to develop a rich web application that allows scientists to leverage the power of Schrödinger’s software platform. Using your love for software development and eye for coding quality, you will play an essential role in revolutionizing the design of novel therapeutics and materials.

Please note that we expect this hire to work from our New York City office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Who will love this job:

  • A skilled software engineer who’s excited to develop and deploy web services with containerization technologies (specifically Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and Tilt)
  • A modern infrastructure operations/automation tools expert who enjoys server virtualization, deployment automation, and continuous integration and testing
  • A passionate Linux system operator who understands process limits, devices, networking, and systems administration
  • A security-minded professional who thinks about ways to build systems to harden our infrastructure
  • A problem-solver who enjoys Capture the Flag or other technical puzzles
  • An excellent verbal and written communicator

What you’ll do:

  • Work with various application teams to develop and automate the systems that build, test, deploy, and monitor our development and production environments
  • Assist in troubleshooting infrastructure-related issues that come up "in the wild"
  • Design and develop our internal infrastructure services using Terraform, GitHub Actions, python, and bash
  • Exercise your own judgment (along with support from teammates) to architect and implement robust, secure, and maintainable solutions

What you should have:

  • Over five years of experience in development, infrastructure, and/or systems administration
  • Over two years of experience working with container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
  • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, Bash, etc.
Pay and perks:
Schrödinger understands it’s people that make a company great. Because of this, we’re prepared to offer a competitive salary, equity-based compensation, and a wide range of benefits that include healthcare (with dental and vision), a 401k, pre-tax commuter benefits, a flexible work schedule, and a parental leave program. We have a company culture that is relaxed, but engaged, and over a month of paid vacation time.  Our Office Management team also plans a myriad of fun company-wide events. New York is home to our largest office, but we have teams all over the world. Schrödinger is honored to have been included in Crain's New York Best Places to Work, BuiltIn's NYC Best Place to Work, and Newsweek's list of America's 100 Most Loved Workplaces. 
 
Estimated base salary range: $155,000 - $270,000. Actual compensation package is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, experience, education, degrees held, market data, and business needs. If you have any questions regarding the compensation for this role, do not hesitate to reach out to a member of our Strategic Growth team.
