Technical Solutions Architect

About the role

Join Seqera, a leading biotech company that builds the modern biotech stack. As a Technical Solutions Architect, you will be responsible for onboarding clients to the Seqera Platform, deploying cloud infrastructure, and working closely with clients to understand their needs. You will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of people, including scientists, bioinformaticians, and IT teams. This role offers continuous learning, a supportive work environment, and the chance to make a real impact in the biotech industry. Key missions: Lead client implementations across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments, from requirements to a working Seqera Platform deployment.. Deploy cloud infrastructure, build the tools that make it repeatable, and sit across the table from a client to work out what they actually need.. Act as a senior escalation point, turning recurring client problems into lasting fixes alongside internal teams. Profile: - Workflow fluency. You understand how a workflow engine runs against remote compute, storage, and container runtimes - Containerization. Docker and Kubernetes are expected. Helm is a strong plus - Networking and security. You are confident across networking, TLS and certificate management (public and private), IAM, and access control. You have the judgment to work within a client's security and compliance constraints, and you can explain any of it to a non-expert - Infrastructure as Code. Terraform is a must. Familiarity with other IaC (CloudFormation, Pulumi, Ansible) is a bonus - Self-sufficient, and a natural sharer. You research your own way out of unfamiliar problems, and you take real satisfaction in explaining what you have learned so the whole team levels up - Grit in the face of adversity. When things are difficult you are motivated to work harder, dig deeper, and find the right answer, not the easy one - Cloud depth. You are already strong in at least one of AWS, Azure, or GCP. Multi-cloud expertise is a real advantage. Exposure to HPC schedulers such as SLURM or Grid Engine is welcome - Client-facing instinct. You can run technical onboarding and pre-sales, elicit real requirements, navigate ambiguity, and stay credible with both scientists and DevOps engineers - Building, not just scripting. You have built and shipped tools that other people depend on, structured and commented for readers who are not you. You;re comfortable in Python and Bash. You treat tests, scanning, and documentation as part of shipping - Bringing people together. When there is disagreement on the approach, you look past the surface-level differences to find the shared goal underneath, and shape a path forward that everyone can stand behind - Life sciences, bioinformatics, or scientific computing background - Technical pre-sales experience - Nextflow experience - Startup experience
