Senior Software Engineer-Growth/AI

Summary

Join Seqera's AI/Growth team as a Senior Software Engineer to design and build AI-powered workflows, backend services, and user-facing tools that accelerate scientific discovery. You will work with modern LLM frameworks, build robust APIs and services, and contribute to a team balancing experimentation with solid engineering. This role involves working across the stack, building AI-driven workflows, scalable backend services (Python), and user-facing tools (React). You will take ideas from concept to production, collaborating with a small, fast-moving team focused on delivering real value to real scientists. Ideal candidates possess strong backend experience, familiarity with cloud-native architectures (AWS/GCP), and excitement about applying AI to meaningful problems. Seqera offers a flexible working environment and a chance to contribute to a company with a larger purpose.

Requirements

• You’re a strong software engineer with experience across both 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 or services using cloud-native patterns
• You’re comfortable with container technologies (Docker) and preferably 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

Responsibilities

• 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 our AI/Growth team’s 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 make them better

Preferred Qualifications

• 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 (e.g., on-premise or hybrid deployments)

Benefits

• Flexible working hours and remote-friendly culture
• International working environment with more than 25 nationalities
• Passionate & talented team
• Continuous skills development
• Team retreats and bonding activities
• A culture where your opinion is valued and your decisions have a real impact on the industry
• Excitement of a fast-growing startup in a constantly changing environment

• Equity
• Private health insurance
• Private life insurance
• Home office allowance (valued over 1,000 USD)
• Subscription to Oliva, Mental Health App
• Learning and development budget per year (1,000 USD)
