Overview

Senior Software Engineer – Growth/AI role at Seqera. Seqera exists to advance science for everyone through software. We provide software for scientists solving today\'s most complex and important challenges, from pioneering innovative therapeutics to unveiling the secrets of our universe. Seqera consolidates fragmented data and diverse computing resources into a unified platform. Our modern biotech stack is trusted by leading life sciences organizations. Join us to help build tools that make science faster, smarter, and more accessible.

Seqera is building the next generation of AI-powered tools for scientific discovery. We are looking for a senior software engineer to join our AI/Growth team and help design and build AI-powered workflows, backend services, and user-facing tools that accelerate scientific discovery. You\'ll work with modern LLM frameworks, build robust APIs and services, and contribute to a team that balances experimentation with rock-solid engineering.

You\'ll work across our stack—building AI-driven workflows, scalable backend services (Python), and user-facing tools (React). You\'ll take ideas from concept to production, collaborating with a small, fast-moving team focused on delivering real value to scientists.

Ideal candidates have strong backend experience, familiarity with cloud-native architectures (AWS/GCP), and are excited about applying AI to meaningful problems. Bonus if you\'ve worked with developer tools, scientific data, or deployed software in customer environments.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement large language model (LLM)-driven workflows
• Build and maintain backend systems and APIs using Python and FastAPI
• Collaborate with frontend engineers on user-facing tools (React, Astro) that scientists love to use
• Own end-to-end services from development to deployment using cloud-native and containerized environments
• Improve engineering practices around testing, observability, automation, and release processes
• Partner closely with product, UX, and domain experts to understand how scientists use our tools and how we can improve them

About You

• You are a strong software engineer with experience across backend and frontend systems
• You\'ve built, shipped, and maintained real-world applications — ideally with exposure to data, ML, or research tooling
• You have production experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) and have built distributed systems using cloud-native patterns
• You\'re comfortable with container technologies (Docker) and orchestration tools like Kubernetes or Docker Compose
• You write well-tested, secure, and performant code and know how to balance speed with quality
• You\'re independent, communicative, and thrive in fast-moving, collaborative teams
• You\'re excited about AI and curious about scientific applications — and you want to work on real tools that help real scientists

Nice to have

• Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, or other LLM frameworks
• Experience building developer tools or internal platforms
• Exposure to biotech, scientific data, or research/ML pipelines
• Frontend experience with React, Astro, or similar frameworks
• Familiarity with building tools deployed in customer-controlled environments (on-premise or hybrid deployments)
