Job Description

About Lifecode

Lifecode is a direct-to-consumer whole genome sequencing company. We sequence your entire genome and turn it into personal wellness insights you can actually use. We're a small founding team and we're building the data and interpretation engine that makes 3 billion base pairs meaningful to a regular person.

The role

You'll be our first dedicated genomics data hire and own how we go from raw WGS output to interpreted, trustworthy insights. This is a build-from-scratch role: the pipelines, the variant interpretation logic, the evidence standards, and the models we train on our data will largely be your call.

What you'll do

  • Design and own our secondary/tertiary analysis pipeline: alignment, variant calling, QC, annotation
  • Build the variant interpretation layer — curating evidence from ClinVar, gnomAD, GWAS Catalog, PharmGKB and similar sources into wellness and trait insights
  • Develop and validate polygenic risk scores and trait-prediction models
  • Evaluate and deploy modern variant effect predictors
  • Work with our product/engineering lead to ship insights into the customer-facing product

What we're looking for

  • PhD or MS in computational biology, bioinformatics, human genetics, or a closely related field
  • Hands-on experience with human genetic data (VCF wrangling, Python interpretation libraries) and inference with SOTA in-silico variant effect prediction models (AlphaGenome, Enformer, SpliceAI, etc.)
  • Strong Python and SQL;
  • Working knowledge of statistical genetics — PRS construction, GWAS interpretation, population stratification
  • Ability to read a paper, judge the evidence, and decide whether it belongs in a consumer product
  • Bias toward shipping. You've worked somewhere small or you want to.

Why join

  • Founders' previous companies have driven over $30M+ in revenue and 5B+ views on social media
  • This is not a traditional, slow-moving life-sciences company, we will taking frontier research and quickly delivering it to the masses

Compensation

  • $100K - $130K + competitive equity
