Computer Science Education Jobs in Alberta (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Developer with deep expertise in seismic processing and scientific computing to help design and evolve next-generation seismic processing solutions. You will work with globally distributed teams to build high-performance, scalable software used in complex on-premise and cloud environments.

This role combines advanced software engineering with geophysical domain knowledge and is ideal for a developer who enjoys solving computationally intensive problems and working closely with geoscientists to deliver production-grade systems.

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance seismic processing software from raw acquisition data through imaging and interpretation deliverables.
• Collaborate with geophysicists and product teams to translate domain requirements into scalable software architectures.
• Implement and optimize computational algorithms for large-scale seismic datasets.
• Contribute to system architecture, APIs, and integration with external platforms and services.
• Develop robust UI and workflow components for desktop and/or cloud-based seismic applications.
• Lead code reviews and enforce engineering best practices for performance, security, and maintainability.
• Mentor junior developers and provide technical leadership on complex debugging and architectural challenges.
• Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines and testing frameworks.
• Ensure high software quality through unit, integration, and performance testing.
• Support customer issue resolution and participate in advanced troubleshooting.
• Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies relevant to seismic processing and scientific computing.

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Geoscience, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in scientific or geophysical software development.
• Advanced Java Backend Engineering: Deep expertise in Java for high-throughput data processing, memory management, and multi-threaded execution (not limited to UI).
• Strong professional experience in at least one systems language (C/C++ or Fortran).
• Experience developing commercial, performance-critical desktop or distributed applications.
• Solid understanding of seismic processing fundamentals and workflows.
• Experience working with large datasets and performance-optimized computing.
• Proficiency with Git-based workflows and CI/CD practices.
• Experience with Linux development environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to break down complex technical challenges.
• Experience working in Agile or iterative development teams.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

• Hands-on experience with ProMAX/SeisSpace or similar seismic processing products
  (such as Omega, Geovation, Reveal, Echos, DUG, GeoTomo).
• Knowledge of processing formats: SEG-D, SEG-Y, SEG-P1/UKOOA, VDS and JavaSeis.
• Experience with advanced seismic methods (noise attenuation, statics, deconvolution, velocity modeling, deblending, OBN processing, migration, FWI).
• Experience with HPC concepts: multithreading, GPU computing, distributed systems.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure) and containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Experience with REST APIs and microservice architectures.
• Python scientific ecosystem (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, ML frameworks).
• Experience with graphics programming (Java 2D/3D, OpenGL, CUDA).
• Experience with big-data or distributed processing frameworks (e.g., Spark).
• Exposure to DevOps tooling and automated build/test infrastructure.

Candidates with qualifications exceeding the minimum job requirements will be considered for higher-level positions based on their experience, additional job requirements, and current business needs. Depending on their education, experience, and skill level, candidates may be eligible for a range of job opportunities, including Senior Technical Advisor.
