Scientific Technical Writer - Hyderabad

We’re seeking a Technical Writer to join us in our mission to improve human health and quality of life through the development, distribution, and application of advanced computational methods.

Schrödinger is on the cutting edge of computer-aided drug discovery and materials science. We set the record for the largest and fastest cloud-computing run, and our software suites continue to revolutionize the design of therapeutics and materials. Maestro, FEP+, WaterMap, Glide, and LiveDesign are just a few examples of the programs we’ve created.

As a member of our Documentation team in the Education department, you’ll have the opportunity to reach scientists across the globe and help integrate the exciting potential of computational drug discovery into an array of research areas. You will also have the chance to apply design thinking to improve how scientists access information and answer their own questions regarding the use of Schrödinger software. This role will collaborate with several other teams to make high-quality, user-friendly documentation easily accessible with a goal of enabling researchers to find the answer they need.

Who will love this job:

• An experienced technical writer with a background in science or a computational chemist with exceptional communication, writing, and editing skills
• A well-organized and detail-oriented professional who is able to meet regular deadlines
• A creative thinker who enjoys working collaboratively and across many teams

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with education, product development, application science, and support teams to develop documentation in computational chemistry
• Write, edit, and design documentation targeted towards varied audiences
• Manage complex, multi-step documentation projects in coordination with multiple stakeholders 
• Work with the education team to advance educational content in a team-oriented environment
• Develop in-depth familiarity with our entire suite of small-molecule, biologics, and materials science software, including packages for docking, molecular simulations, homology modeling, pharmacophore modeling, cheminformatics, and quantum mechanics

What you should have:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in a relevant scientific discipline or equivalent industry experience
• A scientific background with experience in technical and/or professional writing, or a technical writing background with experience in chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, physics, or a related field
• Interest in small-molecule drug discovery
• Understanding of molecular modeling software tools
• Demonstrated history of strong writing skills (applicants will be asked to submit writing samples relevant to the position)

We’d prefer to hire someone who has:

• An MS in Technical writing or an MS or PhD in a relevant scientific discipline 
• Experience with Schrödinger applications or other molecular modeling software
• Proficiency with tools like Flare (or other technical documentation software), Confluence, and/or Jira
• Experience in Python, HTML, and/or CSS

As an equal opportunity employer, Schrödinger hires outstanding individuals into every position in the company. People who work with us have a high degree of engagement, a commitment to working effectively in teams, and a passion for the company's mission. We place the highest value on creating a safe environment where our employees can grow and contribute, and refuse to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious belief, sex, age, disability, national origin, alienage or citizenship status, marital status, partnership status, caregiver status, sexual and reproductive health decisions, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation. To us, "diversity" isn't just a buzzword, but an important element of our core principles and key business practices. We believe that diverse companies innovate better and think more creatively than homogenous ones because they take into account a wide range of viewpoints. For us, greater diversity doesn't mean better headlines or public images - it means increased adaptability and profitability.
