I’ve personally been working at non-FAANG companies across several different industries for 15 years, recently in team lead roles, mostly in the open source arena. Most recently in a project lead role, which I don’t enjoy too much.
Chemdraw for creating organic chemical structures, schemes, diagrams/figures, which can be exported to other programs
SciFinder and Reaxys for searching the chemical literature and doing background research
Gaussview and Gaussian09 to submit and run DFT or ab initio calculations on molecules
MestReNova / MestRec
From what I've seen many of the programmers with biotech experience don't really have a good understanding of what we do in the lab. Communication is really important.
I’ve tried the standard places where I’d search for non-biotech jobs (and there are craploads of those types of jobs listed), but barely any biotech jobs come up e.g. on LinkedIn. Maybe because I’m in Canada?

For Canada it looks like Toronto, and then Vancouver and Montreal.
