Senior Cloud Engineer

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.

Who will love this job:

• An experienced cloud engineer who focuses on designing, implementing, and rectifying scalable cloud solutions and has an in-depth knowledge of Google Cloud Platform and other platforms like AWS or Azure
• An excellent problem-solver who enjoys collaborating in an Agile environment

• Participate in the design and architecture of cloud solutions that strategically meet the company's scalability, performance, and security requirements
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including technical and non-technical colleagues, to understand their business needs and requirements and align efforts and strategies across teams
• Empower Schrödinger staff to make effective use of cloud resources holistically, including scalability, performance, cost optimization, security, and compliance as components of solutions
• Leverage industry best practices in areas such as automation, Infrastructure as Code, monitoring, logging, diagnosis, and troubleshooting
• Leverage industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices while introducing and advocating for new technologies that can enhance the company's cloud capabilities

What you should have:

• At least five years of real-world, hands-on experience with cloud engineering in an enterprise environment
