Velsera is the precision engine company. We build the software researchers, scientists, and clinicians use to drive precision R&D and bring analytics closer to the point of care. Seven Bridges, Pierian, and UgenTec came together to form Velsera; we are headquartered in Boston, MA, with [current headcount] colleagues across [current country count] countries.
The Seven Bridges Platform is our research genomics platform — roughly 130 containerized services, multi-cloud, running in commercial and FedRAMP Moderate environments, where scientists run CWL, WDL, and Nextflow workflows over petabyte-scale genomic data. Current priorities are federated data management, compliance as a product capability, and governed AI.
You report to the CTO and own engineering for the Seven Bridges Platform: architecture, delivery, and production operations, including reliability, cost, technical debt, and observability. The team is primarily in India, with a smaller group in Serbia; you lead across both sites and work daily with stakeholders in other time zones. You hold architecture authority for the platform, co-own boundary decisions with security, federal compliance, and quality leadership, and partner with a cross-business AI Engineering team.
The role is roughly 40% hands-on technical work and 60% people leadership and organizational delivery. Hands-on means owning architecture decisions of record, leading design reviews, reviewing code and infrastructure changes, and prototyping where needed. You should be credible to your most senior engineers, with a clear view of what this class of platform should become and the ability to take a team and a business there.
The ability to step back from the daily routine, explore ideas for the future, and see the platform in a broader context and in the longer term.
Personal command of the technology the platform is built on, enough to shape and challenge its biggest decisions.
The ability to lead and develop others so they perform at their best — setting direction, providing the means, and holding the bar.
Setting high standards and treating quality, security, and compliance as design constraints rather than gates to be cleared.
The ability to make timely, defensible decisions on incomplete information, and to revisit them when the evidence changes.
We create collaborative and supportive environments by operating with respect and flexibility to promote mental, emotional and physical health. We practice empathy by treating others the way they want to be treated and assuming positive intent. We are proud of our inclusive diverse team and humble ourselves to learn about and build our connection with each other.
We act with swift determination without sacrificing our expectations of quality. We are driven by providing exceptional solutions for our customers to positively impact patient lives. Considering what is at stake, we challenge ourselves to develop the best solution, not just the easy.
We hold ourselves accountable and strive for transparent communication to build trust amongst ourselves and our customers. We take ownership of our results as we know what we do matters and collectively we will change the healthcare industry. We are thoughtful and intentional with every customer interaction understanding the overall impact on human health.
. We ask questions and actively listen in order to learn and continuously improve. We embrace change and the opportunities it presents to make each other better. We strive to be on the cutting edge of science and technology innovation by encouraging creativity.
We take our social responsibility with the seriousness it deserves and hold ourselves to a high standard. We improve our sustainability by encouraging discussion and taking action as it relates to our natural, social and economic resource footprint. We are devoted to our humanitarian mission and look for new ways to make the world a better place.
