What is clinical genomics?

A Clinical Genomics job involves analyzing genetic information to aid in diagnosing and treating patients. Professionals in this field interpret genomic data, identify disease-related genetic variations, and collaborate with healthcare providers to personalize patient care. They may work in hospitals, research institutions, or genetic testing labs, using advanced sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools. Their work helps in diagnosing genetic disorders, guiding treatment decisions, and advancing precision medicine.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in clinical genomics?

A typical day in Clinical Genomics involves analyzing genetic data from patient samples, interpreting laboratory results, and preparing detailed clinical reports to guide physicians and healthcare providers in diagnosis and treatment planning. Professionals in this field frequently use specialized software and bioinformatics tools, attend multidisciplinary team meetings, and may consult directly with clinicians or genetic counselors regarding complex cases. The role often requires balancing time between interpreting genomic data, staying current with the latest research, and ensuring that all work adheres to strict quality and regulatory standards. Depending on the setting, there may also be opportunities to mentor junior staff or contribute to ongoing research projects, making the work both dynamic and impactful.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in clinical genomics?

To thrive in Clinical Genomics, you need a strong background in genetics, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostics, often supported by a relevant advanced degree such as a master's or PhD in genetics or genomics. Familiarity with bioinformatics tools, next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, and clinical reporting software is essential, along with certifications like American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ABMGG) or Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC), where applicable. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex genetic information clearly are key soft skills. These competencies are critical for accurately interpreting genetic data, ensuring quality patient care, and collaborating effectively with healthcare teams.

Job description

Hybrid role.  

JOB SUMMARY:

Join a pioneering team of clinicians, bioinformaticians, and software engineers defining the future of rapid clinical genomics. As a Senior Bioinformaticist, you will serve as a core computational lead responsible for scaling, hardening, and evolving our high-throughput, ultra-rapid whole genome sequencing (WGS) framework.

This role sits at the intersection of production-grade engineering, clinical practice, and cutting-edge discovery. You will work side-by-side with hospital clinicians to analyze patient genomic data directly, transforming complex computational findings into real-time clinical decisions that directly impact patient outcomes. Beyond maintaining fast, reliable production pipelines, you will drive our expanding technical roadmap: deeply integrating AI/ML workflows across genomic domains, tackling complex structural variant analysis, and building out multi-omics computational frameworks.

If you are eager to build production biocomputing systems while leveraging next-generation algorithms, and want your daily work to directly change patient lives, this position offers an extraordinary platform for growth, industry collaboration, and real-world impact.

MINMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

Master's Degree

Area of study in a field related to the position.

Experience analyzing next-gen sequencing data from raw sequencing output (BCL/FASTQ) through alignment, variant calling, annotation, and prioritization for whole genome or exome sequencing data.

Experience developing, maintaining, and troubleshooting automated bioinformatics pipelines supporting high-throughput genomic analysis in production or research environments.

Experience working with and understanding of NGS analysis tools like Dragen, BWA,, GATK, DeepVariant, Samtools, bcftools, Picard, Annovar, VEP, or similar tools.

Experience with Unix/Linux operating system and software development using any of Ruby, Python, Perl, Bash.

Experience working with large-scale computational environments, including HPC or distributed compute systems, and workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Nextflow, Snakemake, WDL, Cromwell, or similar frameworks). 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Ph.D.

Experience in CNV and SV detection tools and interpretation of complex genomic variation.

Previous experience working in a CAP/CLIA environment.

Previous experience with cloud-based development or analysis and performing benchmarking of bioinformatics tools.

Experience applying machine learning or AI approaches to genomics, phenomics, or biomedical datasets.

Experience analyzing multi-omics datasets, including RNA-seq, long-read sequencing, transcriptomics, proteomics, or related genomic technologies.

The current salary range for this position is $52.95 to $72.81
