On April 6, 2021, Sējējs was signed by Genève-Servette HC to his first professional contract, agreeing to a one-year deal.[1][2]

His twin brother, Nauris Sējējs, also plays professional hockey with Genève-Servette HC as a defenseman. They were born in the Czech Republic where their father Normunds was playing hockey at the time, though the family returned to Latvia within a few years.
Both twins left Latvia and moved to Geneva in 2016 at age 15 to continue their junior careers.
