Job Description

Bioinformatics Scientist | South San Francisco, CA (Remote Flex)

I'm working on a retained search for a high-growth DNA sequencing company that's quietly become one of the most-used platforms in modern biotech — Nobel laureates, top-tier startups, and DIY biohackers all run their science through this platform daily.

They're building something genuinely different: a team that moves at software speed inside a biology world. If you've ever been frustrated by how slow biotech moves, this is for you.

The Role

This isn't a "maintain the pipeline" job. You'll be architecting production-grade bioinformatics workflows that process thousands of samples per day, developing novel algorithms that turn raw sequencing data into fast, intuitive insights, and translating that science directly into user-facing experiences. You'll also mentor teammates and help set the technical direction of the function.

What They're Looking For

  • PhD in Bioinformatics, CS, Statistics, Physics or similar — with 3+ years building production pipelines
  • Deep domain expertise in at least one of: microbial genomics (assembly/metagenomics), variant calling/large-scale genomics, or bulk/single-cell RNA-seq
  • Production experience with Nextflow or Snakemake, including cloud deployments
  • Strong Python (numpy, pandas, biopython, Jupyter) and solid Linux/Git fundamentals
  • Bonus: a track record of publishing or developing novel bioinformatics algorithms

Why It's Worth a Conversation

✅ Mission-driven accelerating life-saving research globally

✅ Small, elite team real ownership and impact from day one

✅ Fast-moving culture that rewards intellectual curiosity
