Company History

Seqera was founded in 2018 to commercialize the Nextflow workflow engine, which was originally developed at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona. The company quickly gained traction as a leader in next-generation bioinformatics workflow orchestration, attracting investments from top-tier venture capital firms to expand their globally distributed platform. Today, Seqera works with major life science organizations to streamline complex data pipelines.

For International Professionals

  • Barcelona is the global HQ, providing the opportunity to work in a vibrant European tech hub with a large international community.
  • Engineering roles are primarily remote-friendly, but the Barcelona office offers a physical base for collaboration and relocation support.
  • The company is strongly technical and open-source adjacent (Nextflow), which may appeal to engineers interested in contributing to widely used life science tooling.
