  • Expertise in modern software development, unit testing, CI / CD, DevOps, logging, and monitoring.
  • Familiarity with React, Terraform, Kubernetes, networking, and Docker is a plus.
  • Experience in biotech or genetic testing is highly desirable.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-moving start-up environment, balancing scrappy solutions and production-grade development.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills, with a pragmatic approach to agile development.
  • Why Join This Team?

  • Make an Impact – Contribute to life-changing healthcare innovations that help individuals and families worldwide.
  • Collaborate with the Best – Work alongside experienced leaders who have built successful healthcare companies (Natera, Invitae, Ciitizen).
  • Cutting-Edge Technology – Engage with the latest AI-driven, cloud-based healthcare solutions.
  • Competitive Compensation – Enjoy a strong salary, equity participation, and benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k).
