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 Software Engineer - Platform, 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, so that they can 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. Your responsibilities will include evolving interfaces between systems, optimizing infrastructure, migrating existing functionality to new services and infrastructure, enabling efficient software delivery, building multi-tenant clusters, and integrating security best practices. You will also mentor and guide engineering teammates, ensuring high technical standards and effective collaboration.
