Job Description

The opportunity

We're building AI that can reason over one of the most complex datasets in existence: the human genome. Millions of people trust Sequencing to help them understand their DNA,  which means every variant call, every pipeline output, and every genetic insight we deliver has to be right. As a Senior Quality Bioinformatics Engineer, you'll be the last line of defense between our genomic analysis pipelines and the people who depend on them. You'll combine large-scale data analysis with rigorous test automation to make sure the science stays accurate as our platform scales. This is an opportunity to apply deep bioinformatics expertise to build the quality systems that keep genetic insight trustworthy, for a platform that's reshaping how people understand their own health.

Who you are:

  • 5+ years of experience in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and SQL for genomic data analysis.
  • Experience with NGS pipelines, variant classification, and data validation.
  • A solid understanding of software testing methodologies and automation tools.
  • Experience with bug tracking and Agile tools such as JIRA and Confluence.
  • Fluency in English, both written and verbal.

Bonus points for:

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, OCI).
  • Knowledge of continuous integration (CI/CD) and automated testing frameworks.

What you'll own

  • Develop automated test cases for quality control of new code deployments.
  • Write scripts and pipelines to analyze large-scale genomic data and detect errors.
  • Work closely with engineers and variant curators to improve workflows and catch issues before they reach production.
  • Ensure genetic data accuracy and integrity through quality engineering practices across our analysis pipelines.

Why this role matters For decades, the human genome has been one of the world's richest sources of health information, but only if the insights drawn from it can be trusted. The quality systems you build will make sure that billions of genetic data points, processed through constantly evolving pipelines, translate into genetic insights people can rely on when making decisions about their health. This role sits at the intersection of precision engineering and human genetics. The accuracy you help guarantee is what makes it possible for people to trust their DNA data enough to act on it.

About Sequencing

Sequencing is building the lifelong home for every genome on Earth and the foundational platform for the AI-native genomic era.

The human genome is the world’s most valuable untapped resource and one of the defining datasets of the 21st century. Every person with DNA will need a trusted platform to store, interpret, and continuously benefit from their genomic data throughout their lifetime. Sequencing is building that platform.

As the world’s largest provider of clinical-grade whole genome sequencing (WGS) services, Sequencing has sequenced more whole genomes than any other company - creating the largest foundation for genomic intelligence and personalized health.

We combine whole genome sequencing, AI-powered interpretation, and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of genomic applications and integrations to transform DNA from a static file into a dynamic, continuously evolving source of actionable intelligence.

Our platform enables individuals, families, healthcare professionals, and other healthtech companies to unlock insights spanning disease prevention, inherited conditions, medication response, reproductive planning, wellness optimization, and longevity - turning the genome into each person's most valuable lifelong health asset.

We envision a future where genomic intelligence is deeply integrated into everyday life for billions of people, powering a new era of personalization, precision medicine, preventative healthcare, and human optimization.

We are a fully remote global company of doctors, scientists, engineers, AI researchers, and builders committed to making genomics accessible, actionable, and transformative for humanity.
