**About the role**

We are looking for an experienced and dedicated Cloud Architect to join our growing Platform team. As we grow the development teams at Seqera, we’re committed to providing infrastructure and tools to support scalable, reliable, and secure software development. Our teams serve the scientific community from start to finish, meeting our customers where they are. This includes multiple major public clouds as well as HPC environments, and so our supporting infrastructure needs to adopt a pan-cloud philosophy. We’re looking for a senior engineer with experience across multiple platforms who’s interested in helping us scale for the future.

As a cloud architect, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the technological foundation that underpins Seqera’s Platform and our complex ecosystem. Operating within the dynamic environment of a scaling startup, you will be a key contributor to the Platform Engineering team, responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing the cloud infrastructure.

In this role, you will be at the forefront of architecting scalable and resilient cloud solutions, focusing on ensuring the security and compliance of our infrastructure in alignment with the requirements of our customers and our industry. Your responsibilities will encompass the end-to-end lifecycle of cloud infrastructure. Leveraging your expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), you will automate the provisioning and management of cloud resources, enabling a flexible and reproducible environment for both Seqera and our customers. Security will be a top priority, and you will lead efforts to implement and maintain security measures, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. In collaboration with the broader Engineering team, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of our cloud-based platform, identifying opportunities for enhancement and optimization.

Your role will extend beyond technical expertise, as effective communication and collaboration are integral to success. You will maintain comprehensive documentation, sharing knowledge with your team and ensuring a smooth transfer of information. As a key player in our startup journey, you will have the opportunity to influence the strategic direction of our cloud architecture and make a meaningful impact on the success of our initiatives. If you thrive in a dynamic, innovation-driven environment, are eager to make your mark on the forefront of scientific advancement, and embody the Seqera mission of promoting science and research through technology, this role is your chance to shine
