Implementation Developer (LIMS)

Implementation Developer, LIMS
Remote or Hybrid in Victoria, BC

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Solution Developer to join Semaphore’s Implementations team, where you will play an important role supporting the technical implementation and customization of Labbit, our next-generation LIMS platform. In this collaborative role, you’ll work directly with our Field Application Scientists and our customers’ laboratory and technical stakeholders to understand workflows, configure the system, build features, and implement integrations that support real operational needs.

In this role, you’ll work throughout the project lifecycle—participating in discovery sessions, writing code, writing automation tests, and reviewing solutions with your peers. While Python is commonly used in our implementations, you’ll apply the tools and languages best suited to each project. You can expect to contribute to multiple engagements over time, so adaptability and comfort when navigating shifting priorities are key.

Success in this position requires strong engineering fundamentals, clear communication, and a collaborative, service-oriented mindset. Experience in biotech, diagnostics, or laboratory informatics is helpful but not required—we will support you in learning the domain. If you are curious, enjoy working closely with end users, and are motivated to build well-designed software that supports meaningful work in modern healthcare, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your impact and technical breadth within a supportive, engaged team.

Must Haves:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Experience developing or integrating SaaS or enterprise systems, ideally within life sciences or healthcare.
• Proficiency in Python, JSON, and comfortable working through technical requirements independently. 
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills, including the ability to translate technical solutions to a range of audiences.
