What you’ll do:

Work on core force field libraries in Python and modern C++
Collaborate with scientists to explore and implement new force field terms
Upgrade and optimize existing workflows for scalability and reliability

What you should have:

A Master’s or PhD in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, or a related field
Intermediate-level knowledge of the Python programming language
At least two years of professional or open-source software development experience
An interest in adopting best engineering practices
Knowledge of modern C++ features

Desirable qualifications include:

Familiarity with the application of molecular simulation and QM methods in model validation

Because of this, we’re prepared to offer a competitive salary, stock options, 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 catered meals in the office, 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: $100,000 - $160,000.
