Tasks

Internal Tools & Self-Services

• Develop and maintain the internal tools and self-services that power our operations, including the Backoffice — a Django-based solution that centrally drives the configuration, release management, and day-to-day operations of Seq One solution instances.
• Improve the reliability, observability, and maintainability of these tools (clean architecture, managing technical debt, sensible automation)

CI/CD & Delivery

• Develop, maintain, and secure the internal CI/CD pipelines that support the development and release of Seq One solutions (e.g., Git Lab CI, ArgoCD, ephemeral development environments).
• Streamline the path to production so that Engineering and Science teams can build, test, and release with confidence and speed.
• Collaborate closely with Engineering and Science teams on tooling, interface contracts, and operational needs.

Operations, Security & Compliance

• Contribute to keeping the Seq One solutions and their supporting platforms operational and secure, in line with standards such as ISO 27001 and HDS.
• Apply a strong production mindset: performance, monitoring, incident readiness, and traceability aligned with our quality and regulatory expectations.

Requirements

• Working experience in Python.
• Working experience with Kubernetes and Docker.
• Working experience with ArgoCD.
• Working experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid software engineering practices (testing, automation, pragmatic design, security awareness).

Profile

• Significant working experience in platform, infrastructure, or backend engineering.
• An engineering degree is preferred.
• Working knowledge of English (our day-to-day engineering language).
• A collaborative approach: clear communication across teams, dependencies, and trade-offs.

Nice to Have
