Platform Software Engineer - Staff/Principal

At Seeq, we develop advanced analytics solutions for industrial process data, enabling companies in pharmaceuticals, energy, and manufacturing to derive actionable insights. Our innovative products integrate cutting-edge technologies and data-processing capabilities, connecting to complex data sources and delivering impactful analytics.

As a fully remote company, Seeq fosters collaboration using tools like Zoom, Slack, and our own Qube Virtual Office. With a focus on agile principles, our team of talented engineers is dedicated to building products that exceed customer expectations while nurturing a supportive, collaborative environment.

What You Will Do

As a Platform Software Engineer, you will be instrumental in designing and building our internal platform: the infrastructure and services that other engineering teams at Seeq use to deploy and operate our software products. Working as a key technical leader, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including product management and fellow engineers to architect and implement robust and secure internal platform components.

You will focus on enhancing the internal platform to provide common services and capabilities to application teams, enabling them to focus on innovating for our customers rather than figuring out how to best deploy and operate their software. The infrastructure and services you build will enable the scalability and reliability of our products.

Key responsibilities include:

• Evolving interfaces between systems and optimizing infrastructure
• Migrating existing functionality to new services and infrastructure
• Enabling efficient software delivery and building multi-tenant clusters
• Integrating security best practices into platform development
• Mentoring and guiding engineering teammates to ensure high technical standards and effective collaboration

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant experience building platform services, infrastructure, or distributed systems
• Proficient in backend technologies with strong experience in languages like Go or Python
• Proficient with infrastructure as code configuration systems like Terraform, OpenTofu, or Pulumi
• Deep understanding of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP; distributed systems including Kubernetes; and microservice architectures
• Experience building scalable, reliable platforms that support data-intensive applications
• Expertise in infrastructure development and configuration, software delivery, and integrating security practices in platform development
• Strong background in system architecture, production system migration, and infrastructure cost and performance optimization
• Demonstrated leadership and mentoring skills, with experience guiding engineering teams
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a cross-functional and remote work environment
• Passion for continuous improvement and adopting modern development methodologies like Agile and CI/CD
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience
• Must be authorized to work in the country in which you reside (Seeq does not sponsor US F1 or H-1B work visas)
