About Seqera
Seqera is on a mission to empower scientists and organizations to solve humanity’s biggest challenges through data-driven science. As the company behind Nextflow and the Seqera Platform, we enable global enterprises, biotech innovators, academic institutions, and public sector organizations to scale complex data workflows with confidence.
We’re a global, remote-friendly team with headquarters in Barcelona and colleagues across the US, UK, and beyond. As we continue to grow, we’re strengthening our internal foundations - and that’s where you come in.
About the Role
As a Bioinformatics Engineer on our Scientific Engagement team, you will be the technical face of Seqera to some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical organizations, the trusted partner they turn to for expertise on our products.
This is a hands-on, customer-facing role for an early-career bioinformatician who wants to combine deep technical work with real customer relationships. You will work across a portfolio of strategic accounts and alongside the wider Customer Experience, Product, and R&D teams, and with mentorship from senior engineers you will grow into independent ownership of your own accounts over time.
What You'll Do
- Act as a trusted technical partner to a portfolio of Seqera’s largest enterprise customers across big pharma, building strong relationships and driving engagement and adoption of our products (Seqera Platform, Nextflow, Studios, Fusion, and Wave).
- Work directly inside customer environments to help them deploy, scale, and get value from Seqera products across cloud and HPC, troubleshooting real technical challenges alongside their scientists and engineers.
- Support the health of strategic accounts, helping to drive retention and expansion by surfacing risks early, demonstrating ongoing value, and working closely with the account and commercial teams.
- Deliver scoped technical work through Services engagements with these accounts, such as onboarding, pipeline optimization, custom workflow support, and best-practice guidance.
- Run and support customer touchpoints including technical syncs, product upgrades, proofs of concept, and workshops, building deep product expertise to give clear, credible guidance.
- Explain technical concepts and communicate findings clearly across the full range of customer audiences, from DevOps and technical teams to bioinformaticians, wet-lab users, and senior stakeholders.
- Collaborate across the wider Customer Experience team (Pre-Sales, Services, and Support) and partner with Product and R&D, acting as the voice of the customer to help shape the roadmap.
- Contribute to the team’s engagement tooling and knowledge base, helping to track account health and move the team toward more proactive, data-driven customer engagement.
