BillionToOne (YC S17) is hiring software engineers to advance genetic testing

BillionToOne is a YC Top Company (https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies/) that has the most advanced genetic tests in the world. Our proprietary DNA sequencing technology has enabled us to launch:

– The world’s first and only blood test to use pregnant mom’s blood to detect fetal diseases like sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis (www.unityscreen.com)

– The only prenatal test in the US for detecting fetal Rh blood type incompatibility (affects 15% of births)

– The first FDA Emergency Use Authorized COVID-19 test to run on high-throughput Sanger instruments (https://billiontoone.com/covid-19/)

In the coming years, we will also launch a cell-free DNA test for cancer detection and monitoring.

We’re looking to hire a few engineers to help us with a number of projects that are used by patients, physicians, and internal staff.

Our HQ is in Menlo Park, but engineering is fully remote (US based). Tech stack: Python/Django, PostgreSQL, React, etc.

BillionToOne (YC S17) is hiring engineers to transform DNA testing

Do you want to develop prenatal diagnostics that can affect the lives of millions of expecting parents? BillionToOne (Y Combinator S17) is looking for a Senior Software Engineer. We apply bioengineering and machine learning principles to diagnostics in order to build truly quantitative molecular tests. Our QCT platform improves the resolution of cell-free DNA testing by >1000x fold and enables novel tests for both prenatal and oncology care. As engineer #1, you will work closely with the CTO to build backend infrastructure, bioinformatics data processing pipelines, laboratory automation tools, and web-based tools to communicate genetic results to patients. This is a highly impactful position with the opportunity to own engineering end-to-end from internal prototypes to widely deployed products directly affecting patients.

If you have experience in full stack development, love seeing your work positively affect your colleagues, and thrive in a fast-paced entrepreneurial and collaborative environment, this could be a great opportunity for you.
