We’re seeking a Solutions Architect to join us in our mission to revolutionize the discovery of therapeutics and materials.
As a member of our Enterprise Informatics team, you’ll work directly with top-tier customers, scientists, and developers to deploy, configure, and tune the company's high-end suite of molecular modeling and enterprise informatics applications and related systems. The key focus will be on novel and emerging solutions that integrate various digital platforms, software, and data management tools & platforms, to streamline the complex, high-throughput workflows involved in the discovery of Biologics for therapeutic applications. You’ll also maintain scientific computing resources and work with highly-skilled individuals in technically challenging software environments. In your conversations with our Product Managers, you’ll be the voice of the customer!
If you don’t consider yourself an expert in all of the fields below, that’s OK - we’re looking to hire an adaptable polymath who’s excited to learn on the job. Our highly collaborative team will be happy to help you get up to speed in any unfamiliar areas.
Who will love this job:
- A passionate engineer who has worked on workflow automation via web-based applications (e.g., REST APIs, SAML/SSO backends, containerized workloads)
- A data wrangler with a background in unified data management, who crafts ETL pipelines to manage complex data with multiple sources and destinations (e.g., SQL databases, JSON, flat files)
- A cloud computing expert who’s familiar with Kubernetes technologies on at least one major cloud provider (e.g., AWS)
- A problem-solver with excellent Linux diagnostic and troubleshooting skills in cloud environments, with good proficiency in writing code and scripts (e.g., Python, bash)
- A quick learner who’s driven to investigate and solve emergent issues in multiple production critical environments and, on occasion, open to availability on a flexible schedule
- An excellent communicator who’s willing to go the extra mile to help our customers and travel to customer sites
What you’ll do:
- Ensure that our enterprise informatics software performs optimally in the customer cloud environments
- Design, develop, implement and support optimal solutions for integration with customers' Biologics discovery workflows, research data systems and platforms
- Help customers solve thorny technical issues by cooperatively building creative, customized solutions, while iterating on a fast schedule
- Work closely with customers on installation, configuration, and update/maintenance of our cloud-hosted software and platform deployments that demand excellent technical expertise
- Collaborate with product managers, scientists, and software developers to improve the deployment, support, configuration and features of our applications
What you should have:
- Research data management background in the pharmaceutical industry (or similar scientific data space) with a focus or specialization in Biologics data
- Experience with Biologics discovery platforms, data representations (e.g., HELM) and ETL pipelines for Biologics
- A background in life sciences and/or physics (a formal academic background in the classical sciences is a huge plus!)
- Open to occasional flexibility of schedule and availability for travel to customer sites
We’d prefer to hire someone who has:
- Clear grasp of data wrangling, data science or machine learning, as applied to Biologics research & discovery
- A greater-than-end-user's understanding of Biologics informatics systems and platforms
- Willingness for occasional travel to Schrödinger's offices and customer sites within the US
Skills Required
- Extensive experience with Kubernetes technologies on major cloud providers (ideally AWS)
- Significant research data management background in the pharmaceutical or similar scientific data space
- Robust Linux experience
- Proficiency in a scripting language such as Python or bash
- Experience with ETL pipelines and SQL databases (handling JSON and flat files)
- Experience administering GPU computing / HPC environments and distributed resource management
- Willingness to travel to customer sites frequently
- Clear grasp of networking concepts (DNS, routing, firewalls, VPCs, NAT gateways)
- Greater-than-end-user understanding of HPC systems
- Willingness for occasional travel to company offices and US customer sites
