Role Overview
The Translational Genomics Group builds open-source software that accelerates rare disease diagnosis. In this role, you will become a key contributor to seqr , a platform used internationally by many research groups and consortia to search large genomic datasets and identify disease-causing variants to empower families and discover novel biology. seqr has helped provide genetic diagnoses to more than 5,000 rare disease families.
You will work across the full stack — cloud deployments, data pipelines, backend APIs, databases, and user interfaces. You’ll start with well-scoped tasks guided by our lead software engineer, and progressively take on larger, more complex tasks and ownership of areas of the system as your capabilities grow.

About the Role

What We’re Looking For
We value technical aptitude and willingness to learn just as highly as pre-existing domain knowledge. You should be able to work independently and solve engineering problems with minimal mentoring on the technical side. The genomic and clinical domain is complex and constantly changing — we’re prepared to invest in a longer learning curve there. You don’t need to arrive knowing genomics. You do need to arrive ready to build software independently and take ownership of your work.
