Velsera
Medicine moves too slow. At Velsera, we are changing that.
Velsera was formed in 2023 through the division of Seven Bridges and Pierian, with a mission to accelerate the discovery, development, and delivery of life-changing insights.
Velsera provides software and professional services for:
AI-powered multimodal data harmonization and analytics for drug discovery and development
IVD development, validation, and regulatory approval
Clinical NGS interpretation, reporting, and adoption
With our headquarters in Boston, MA, we are growing and expanding our teams located in different countries!
Participate actively in code reviews across Java, Python, and JavaScript/TypeScript — you catch issues, set standards, and model what good looks like
Drive adoption of AI-assisted development practices in AWS-based environments, leveraging the team's Java, Python, and MongoDB stack
Own and improve CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and hold the team accountable to build, test, and deploy quality
Engage directly in technical design discussions — you may not be the architect on every feature, but you are a credible voice in every trade-off conversation
Identify and surface technical risk before it becomes delivery risk; you can recognize a bad technical decision without needing someone else to flag it first
Champion engineering best practices: test coverage, code quality gates via SonarQube, observability with Prometheus and ELK, and secure coding standards
Manage 6–10 engineers across one to two agile teams; own their growth, performance, and day-to-day wellbeing
Run effective 1:1s, set clear expectations, and create an environment where engineers can do their best work
Partner with your teams on quarterly planning, translating product and business priorities into well-structured engineering roadmaps
Shield the team from noise and context-switching while keeping critical escalations flowing appropriately
Mentor engineers toward greater technical autonomy — you are building a team that needs you less over time, not more
Own the work breakdown structure for your teams — epics, stories, dependencies, and cross-team risks are visible and up to date
Maintain clear release schedules and communicate confidently with Product, Customer Operations, and senior engineering leadership
Proactively identify and manage risks; you don't wait to be asked for a status update
Facilitate quarterly planning discussions across Engineering, Product, and Business stakeholders
8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience — you have written production code and are not far removed from it
Demonstrated experience with AI-driven software development practices and tooling in cloud-native environments
Proficiency in one or more of: Java/Spring Boot, Python (Flask/FastAPI) — you can read and meaningfully review code across the team's primary stack
Hands-on experience with AWS services and modern CI/CD practices; you understand what happens between a PR merge and a production deployment
2+ years in an engineering leadership role — tech lead with team ownership, or formal engineering manager
Experience with agile delivery at scale: sprint planning, risk tracking, cross-functional stakeholder communication
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; you can represent your team's technical work clearly to non-engineers
Experience with MongoDB and PostgreSQL in production environments
Familiarity with containerized workloads — Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), AWS ECS
Background in regulated or clinical software environments (HIPAA, GxP, SOC 2) — or demonstrated ability to operate in high-accountability delivery contexts
Prior experience building or scaling teams in India-based engineering organizations
This is not a project coordination role. If your instinct when facing a technical problem is to escalate it rather than engage it, this role will be frustrating for you and for the team. We have strong product managers and architects — what this team needs is someone who can bridge the gap between technical execution and organizational delivery, and that requires genuine engineering fluency.
Velsera's platforms — including the Seven Bridges Platform and Clinical Genomics Workspace — power genomic research and clinical diagnostics for some of the world's most important health initiatives. The engineering teams you lead are building and maintaining software that directly impacts patient outcomes. Technical rigor here is not optional.
