Our client is seeking exceptionally talented software engineers with experience or strong interest in artificial intelligence—specifically generative and agentic AI—to join their New York-based team. This role is part of a groundbreaking initiative focused on building AI-powered systems that advance scientific research and drug discovery.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of applied AI, scientific computing, and machine learning research within a highly interdisciplinary and technically ambitious environment.
 
About the Role
Engineers in this position will contribute across the full development lifecycle, including:
  • Driving projects from concept and prototyping through production-scale deployment
  • Designing and implementing smart agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, and AI-enabled research tools
  • Building and deploying AI-powered systems to accelerate drug discovery programs and increase research productivity
  • Improving ML model training quality and efficiency through intelligent data pipelines, workflow automation, and feedback loops
  • Integrating cutting-edge AI techniques with scientific software and computational research platforms
Ideal Candidate Profile
Successful candidates will demonstrate:
  • A strong track record of designing and building robust software systems and infrastructure
  • Fluency in Python and modern software engineering best practices
  • Experience developing scalable AI/ML systems or tooling
  • Ability to automate complex workflows and develop intelligent code generation or agent-based systems
  • Intellectual curiosity, versatility, and a history of technical achievement
Experience in scientific domains—or a demonstrated passion for applying engineering to research problems—is a plus. Specific domain expertise is less important than technical excellence, adaptability, and a drive to solve complex problems.
 
About the Organization
Our client is based in New York City and develops advanced computational technologies to understand the behavior of biologically and pharmaceutically significant molecules at atomic-level precision. Their work enables the design of highly selective, precisely targeted therapeutics for the treatment of a wide range of diseases.
