Schrödinger seeks a Cloud Engineer to join us in our mission to transform the discovery of therapeutics and materials.

Schrödinger has pioneered a physics-based software platform that enables discovery of high-quality, novel molecules for drug development and materials applications more rapidly and at lower cost compared to traditional methods. The software platform is used by biopharmaceutical and industrial companies, academic institutions, and government laboratories around the world. Our multidisciplinary drug discovery team also leverages the software platform to advance collaborative programs and its own pipeline of novel therapeutics to address unmet medical needs.

As a member of our Information Technology team, you’ll play a crucial role in facilitating the partnership between our development and operations teams. By building solutions in a highly collaborative environment, you’ll help scientists accelerate their R&D activities, reduce costs, and make discoveries that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.
