Senior Software Engineer, Seqera Labs

• You're a software engineer with experience developing robust and scalable solutions. You're passionate about solving real-world problems with proven technologies and building elegant, scalable systems. You write simple, sophisticated, well-structured and well-tested code that drives new features and improvements
• The ideal candidate is passionate about addressing a wide range of technical challenges—not just frontend or backend, but also complex problems involving infrastructure, distributed programming, containerization, cloud architectures, and integrations
• You have worked in a collaborative agile environment through the whole application lifecycle using languages like Java and Groovy, as well as backend and frontend frameworks like Micronaut, Angular, Rails, React, Spring, Flask etc. Expertise in Java is a solid plus; in its absence, experience in similar languages and the ability to learn rapidly is important
• You are comfortable with ambiguity - you’re able to quickly develop hypotheses with limited information and have a demonstrated ability to learn complex concepts quickly. You drive tasks independently, while proactively reaching out for help and additional resources when needed to keep yourself unblocked
• You have built strong foundational knowledge in software engineering with experience in both front-end and back-end development: confident and proficient in implementing efficient algorithms, using best practices in coding standards, and adhering to security measures to protect data integrity and prevent vulnerabilities
• Experience with cloud architectures and cloud application deployments, having worked with at least one major cloud provider ( such as AWS) and built distributed architecture on top of its service offering
• Nice to Have: Familiarity with container technologies and orchestration solutions such as Kubernetes and/or Docker Compose

• Working on the Seqera Platform is an exciting opportunity to learn and work with a diverse range of technologies
• We are committed to building a process where we can deliver high-quality products and iterate fast, which requires us to develop solid engineering practices that include end-to-end testing, observability frameworks, deployment standards, automation, and operational excellence processes
• You will design, implement, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code across our full software stack
• Engage extensively with your product team and cross-functionally, interpreting and integrating customer feedback into the development cycle to ensure our products not only meet but exceed user expectations
• Collaborate with fellow engineers on building engineering best practices, improving processes, documentation, and onboarding artifacts
