Senior Software Developer | Agentic AI

This role is based in New York, NY, offering a hybrid work model (3 in-office & 2 remote) and an elite compensation package ranging from $250,000 to $600,000, supplemented by sign-on bonuses, relocation assistance for qualified candidates.

The Mission

StaffRight Associates is sourcing for a Software Engineer, Agentic AI Systems to drive a high-stakes initiative at the frontier of computational drug discovery. This role is not merely about application development; it is about the technical synthesis of large language models (LLMs), multi-agent architectures, and sophisticated retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) within a high-performance scientific ecosystem. You will be responsible for the systemic integration of autonomous AI agents into complex research loops, effectively bridging the gap between frontier machine learning and atomic-level molecular simulations to accelerate the development of life-saving therapeutics.

Core Technical Objectives

• Orchestrate the architecture and deployment of multi-agent AI frameworks designed to automate and optimize high-throughput scientific research workflows.

• Synthesize cutting-edge RAG systems and LLM-driven tools with proprietary scientific software to enhance the precision of molecular modeling and drug design.

• Engineer end-to-end data pipelines that utilize intelligent feedback loops to refine and accelerate the training of domain-specific machine learning models.

• Formalize the transition from rapid algorithmic prototyping to production-scale infrastructure, ensuring high-availability and system resilience within a distributed computing environment.

• Deploy automated code-generation utilities and intelligent workflows to minimize manual research overhead and maximize the velocity of drug discovery programs.

• Validate the integration of AI-powered systems through rigorous pressure-testing, ensuring alignment between computational outputs and biological research requirements.

Candidate DNA

• Architectural Philosophy: A first-principles approach to software engineering, with a focus on building modular, scalable systems that solve non-trivial automation challenges.

• Technical Depth: Mastery of Python and its broader ecosystem, with a proven ability to design complex infrastructure from the ground up.

• Domain Expertise: Deep technical interest or professional experience in Agentic AI, including generative models, autonomous agents, and sophisticated retrieval mechanisms (RAG).

• Structural Alignment: The ability to translate abstract scientific workflows into high-performance, production-grade code that interfaces with massive datasets and high-speed hardware.

• Versatility: An intellectual curiosity that thrives in interdisciplinary environments, demonstrating a clean room ability to solve problems across diverse technical domains without relying on standard templates.

Academic & Research Pedigree

• Mathematical Rigor: A strong foundation in discrete mathematics, probability, and algorithmic complexity from a world-class institution.

• Educational Excellence: A Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computational Biology, or a related STEM field.

• Research Synthesis: Evidence of high technical achievement, potentially including specialized thesis work or professional contributions to complex scientific or machine learning infrastructure projects.
