Graduate Junior Software Developer Jobs in Alberta

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.
