The role

As the Team Lead, Software Development for Seequent Labs in Calgary, AB, you will lead a technical team and collaborate with researchers and AI scientists to deliver critical research infrastructure and cloud-based prototypes. Reporting to the Manager, Software Engineering, you will balance senior full-stack development with hands-on people, performance, and project management.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

Lead & Mentor: Manage, coach, and allocate tasks to a prototyping team while fostering a positive feedback loop with research and data science teams.
Develop Infrastructure: Own the Labs portal, build GCP-based cloud infrastructure for high-performance computing, and drive the end-to-end delivery of complex prototypes.
Guide Architecture: Provide technical and architectural design guidance, evaluate trade-offs, and ensure solutions meet security and functional requirements.
Manage Projects: Oversee medium-scale project lifecycles, partner with leadership on prioritization, and mitigate development risks.
Collaborate & Transition: Engage with customers for feedback and collaborate with commercial engineering teams to transition successful prototypes into products.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
Experience: 7+ years of software development experience (including senior full-stack roles) and 1+ years of formal or informal team leadership.
Technical Skills: Deep senior full-stack technical expertise, GCP cloud capabilities, and familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps practices.
Leadership & Collaboration: Proven ability to work autonomously, influence stakeholders, manage projects, and communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
Mindset: An agile, innovation-driven growth mindset with the resilience to navigate experimental research processes.
