The AWS Health AI team is looking for a full-stack Software Development Engineer to build a new customer experience that will simplify how life sciences researchers design and discover new drug therapies. Drug discovery is being transformed through computation; our mission is to help scientists accelerate the development and evaluation of complex in silico discovery experiments using state-of-the-art biological foundation models (BioFMs), generative AI (GenAI), and high-performance computing (HPC). We do this by orchestrating these models and analyses at scale and letting scientists focus on science. You will work with a diverse team brought together and motivated by work that improves people’s lives, while being challenged on a daily basis. In this field, it’s very much Day One; come help us help customers design new patient therapies faster.

In this role, you will be responsible for delivering a new customer experience for researchers investigating drug therapies. You will design and build new software systems at the cutting edge of Healthcare & Life Sciences (HCLS) and GenAI with a significant bottom-line impact on our business and competitive position.

This position within the AWS Health AI team presents a unique and rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor within a fast growing business and help shape the technology, product and the business. A successful candidate will bring deep technical and software expertise, strong business acumen and judgment, an ability to define visionary, ground breaking products, desire to have an industry-wide reach and ability to work within a fast moving, startup environment in a large company to rapidly deliver services that have a broad business impact.
