GeneDx is Hiring a Head of Scalable Genetics Near New York, NY
The Role
GeneDx, the world's leading genomics diagnostics company, is seeking a Head of Scalable Genetics. This individual will build and lead a team charged with reimagining the clinical information gathering, interpretation, and reporting processes that drive our rare disease testing products. This role will be charged with increasing the quality, reproducibility, and scalability of whole exome and whole genome clinical reporting processes.
This role will lead a multidisciplinary team of product leads, data scientists, and engineers. This leader will work to conceive, build, train, and deploy a suite of modular tools that combine to deliver a fully automated interpretation workflow.
Experience, Traits, and Skills
Deep experience in a high-volume CLIA/CAP clinical reporting environment, accelerated by efficient and high-quality software tools.
Experience and understanding of the hard-to-do components of the human genome (e.g. repetitive/mobile elements, pseudogenes, low complexity regions). Experience with the molecular and bioinformatic techniques necessary to call variation and report from these regions.
Demonstrated understanding of human clinical genetics, the state of the industry, and strong opinions about how to scale reporting to serve more patients.
Conceptual mastery of machine learning and other AI applications, and these tools have been used to accelerate complex human-centric processes.
Demonstrated management of a team specifying the development of software products.
Exceptional communication skills, with demonstrated ability to influence and drive change cross-functionally.
Responsibilities
Leverage existing GeneDx platform technologies where possible, as well as develop and deploy novel computational approaches to filter, apply evidence, recommend confirmation, write/place report text, and facilitate efficient medical director sign out.
Objectives
Become an expert in current reporting workflow processes, people, and tools.
Design and implement a fully automated reporting workflow at GeneDx to reduce human intervention, delays in processing handoffs, and subjectivity.
Recruit and hire a suitably sized engineering team combined with experienced clinical genomics experts as product leads.

With over 20 years of expertise in diagnosing rare disorders and diseases, and pioneering work in the identification of new disease-causing genes, our commitment to genetic disease detection, discovery, and diagnosis is based on sound science and is focused on enhancing patient care.
Experts in what matters most.
With hundreds of genetic counselors, MD/PhD scientists, and clinical and molecular genomics specialists on staff, we are the industry's genetic testing experts and proud of it. We share the same goal as healthcare providers, patients, and families: to provide clear, accurate, and meaningful answers we all can trust.
SEQUENCING HAS THE POWER TO SOLVE DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGES.
From sequencing to reporting and beyond, our technical and clinical experts are providing guidance every step of the way:
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
- High-quality testing: Our laboratory is CLIA certified and CAP accredited and most of our tests are also New York State approved.
- Advanced detection: By interrogating genes for complex variants, we can identify the underlying causes of conditions that may otherwise be missed.
CLINICAL EXPERTISE
- Thorough analysis: We classify variants according to our custom adaptation of the most recent guidelines. We then leverage our rich internal database for additional interpretation evidence.
- Customized care: Our experts review all test results and write reports in a clear, concise, and personalized way. We also include information for research studies in specific clinical situations.
- Impactful discovery: Our researchers continue working to find answers even after testing is complete. Through both internal research efforts and global collaborations, we have identified and published hundreds of new disease-gene relationships and developed novel tools for genomic data analysis. These efforts ultimately deliver more diagnostic findings to individuals.
