Design, build, and maintain scalable production pipelines and services to process clinical-grade 30x whole genome data. Optimize performance, reliability, and cost across AWS and hybrid environments. Develop tools and services (Python, C#, SQL, AWS) for genomic analysis, collaborate with cross-functional teams, ensure testing, observability, and validated output, and support consumer-facing DNA apps and reports.
Sequencing is building the interface between humanity and its DNA.
Using clinical-grade whole genome sequencing, AI, and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of genomic applications, we help people better understand themselves, their health, and their future through their DNA.
The human genome is one of the most valuable and underutilized resources in the world. Our mission is to transform the human genome into a lifelong source of personalized guidance and build the trusted home for every genome on Earth.
As the world’s largest direct-to-consumer whole genome sequencing platform, Sequencing is helping define the future of AI-powered personalized health.
We’re a profitable, venture-backed, fully remote company building category-defining products that help people better understand themselves through their DNA.
The Position
Sequencing.com is hiring a Senior Bioinformatics Engineer to develop cutting edge genomic analysis tools and infrastructure for the Bioinformatics team.
