About the Role:
SandboxAQ is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with a focus on front-end development for web applications to architect and create the interfaces to the next generation of computational tools for AI and simulation in chemistry and the life sciences. You will be crucial in constructing tools that empower researchers to extract intricate insights from vast datasets seamlessly and easily configure large-scale cloud simulations.
You will bring experience and deep knowledge of best practices to level up the web app development of an agile development team. Together, we will build new visualizations and workflows for simulation and AI applications in advanced materials and life sciences.
What You’ll Do:
- Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance internal web tools to help researchers visualize and iterate on complex chemistry formulations, reactions and therapeutics
- Own the delivery of features in the front-end of SandboxAQ’s chemistry and life sciences simulation platform
- Write clean, testable code and establish testing frameworks to ensure the reliability of both front-end and back-end components.
- Partner closely with product managers, backend developers, designers, and infrastructure developers
- Design and implement reusable software components that increase development velocity
- Collaborate with the rest of the engineering team to refine APIs and data models, supporting the web application's backend functionality.
- Profile web applications to benchmark performance and work with the rest of the engineering and infrastructure team to deliver improvements
- Optimize performance to enable interactive multi-dimensional exploration of large-scale data
- Gather user feedback, rapidly prototype new functionality, and develop high-quality front-end codeAbout You:
- 8+ years of experience in front-end software development, with a strong focus on building complex web applications or platforms with complex user workflows and data visualizations
- Deep knowledge of best practices in developing web applications
- Experience with React, Javascript, and Typescript
- Experience with MySQL and Flask or FastAPI
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively influence a cross-functional team
- Track record of delivering successful projects within tight timelines
Nice to Haves:
- Experience working on scientific, engineering, or simulation software
- Experience with data visualization libraries (e.g., D3.js) and charting frameworks for displaying scientific data
