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 opportunity

The  AI Bioinformatics Engineering Lead will sit within the AI team and collaborate closely with backend engineering, bioinformatics, and product leaders to shape how genomic data is evaluated and validated. Your success will be measured by robust evaluation and benchmarking strategies, clear accuracy thresholds, and production releases that consistently meet predefined correctness standards over time.

What you'll own

  • Own gene, disease, and variant mapping logic in the AI system.
  • Design and maintain how genomic data is used and interpreted in AI workflows.
  • Define approaches for handling complex and edge-case genomic scenarios.
  • Set measurable accuracy thresholds for AI-powered features.
  • Define release criteria that AI features must meet before going live.
  • Lead the overall evaluation and benchmarking strategy for AI outputs.
  • Establish regression standards so future changes preserve or improve accuracy.
  • Partner with the AI Bioinformatics Benchmarking Engineer on automated validation.
  • Approve validation criteria that determine when AI features are ready for release.
  • Work closely with AI, Bioinformatics, Product, and Engineering leaders on system design.
  • Recommend where deterministic logic should supplement model behavior in production.
  • Ensure interpretation logic can be maintained and updated as new genomic knowledge appears.

Who you are

  • Advanced degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a closely related field.
  • Strong experience with VCFs and complex genomic datasets.
  • Familiarity with ClinVar, dbSNP, HGVS standards, transcript databases, and variant classification.
  • Systems-level leadership that defines standards and frameworks for correctness.
  • Experience working with production software engineering teams.
  • Experience collaborating with AI or LLM-based systems.
  • Experience setting or contributing to evaluation and benchmarking frameworks.
  • Comfortable working fully remote as part of a distributed team.

Benefits Overview
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage
  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Paid time off (PTO)
  • Paid volunteer time off
  • Fully remote work with home office stipend
  • Parental bonding leave
  • Clinical-grade whole genome sequencing for you and your family (private and confidential)

Join Sequencing
  • Redefine how people understand themselves through their DNA
  • Build category-defining products alongside scientists, engineers, and innovators
  • Contribute to technology that will improve and extend millions of lives
  • Shape one of the most important emerging categories in AI and healthcare
