+ Ensure that our software performs optimally in the customer environment (which ranges from small on-prem server setups to sophisticated HPC and cloud environments)
+ Design and implement optimal deployment strategies and custom interfaces for integration with customer systems and technologies
+ Help customers tackle thorny technical issues by collaborating to create smart, efficient and effective solutions
+ Work closely with customers on the installation, configuration, and update/maintenance of on-premises or cloud-hosted installations of our scientific computing and enterprise software applications

+ Deep understanding of web-based applications (i.e., REST APIs)
+ An interest in chem- or bioinformatics, material science, computational, or organic chemistry (a formal academic background in the natural sciences is a plus!)
**We'd prefer to hire someone who has:**

+ Good background in working with infrastructure as code and automation management
+ Solid understanding of HPC technologies (i.e., job management systems, networking, GPGPU computing, etc.)

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.

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._
