The Role
GeneDx, the world’s leading rare disease genetic diagnostics company, is seeking a senior engineer for our lab workflow and orchestration team.
This role is a senior individual contributor role expected to coordinate and support the technical work of other engineers and external consultants focused on our lab orchestration system. As a technical lead, you are not responsible for people management, but work with other engineers, product leads, and operations stakeholders to refine the technical strategy for the team. You will know when to ask for guidance from more senior technical staff, needing minimal guidance to ensure your teammates have a clear technical plan.
Your careful decision making will ensure our product plans and stakeholder expectations are met on time. By practicing repeatable methods for clarifying stakeholder needs and refining technical plans, you will demonstrate a strong business expertise for lab operations software. You will work with our Product team to guide the best technical approaches to providing good outcomes for our users and customers, rather than simply translating feature requests into engineering tickets. Your ability to plan well within your technical specialty as a lab orchestration engineer will make the team stronger and demonstrate strong functional knowledge of relevant programming languages and design patterns for workflow orchestration.

- Advanced db schema design, ability to model real-world problems
- Ability to propose design choices based on tradeoffs
- Provides thorough and meaningful code reviews
- Able to work within and enhance an existing codebase
- Able to prototype, develop, or debug quickly
- Architectures basics - can design, deploy, and diagnose at least a simple full-stack application to the cloud
- Advanced CI/CD Practices: Expertise in designing and managing advanced CI/CD pipelines.
- Multi-Cloud Strategies: Knowledge of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies.
- Security Best Practices: Understanding of security best practices in DevOps (IAM, network security).

The Responsibilities
- Guide technical efforts of a small development team to develop and support our lab orchestration software without delays to our product and technical roadmaps
- Create multifaceted, performant solutions that bridge the lab orchestration system with other existing systems and automation platforms
- Ensure best practices in software development
- Make significant strategic contributions and lead tactical implementation of our technical roadmap.
- Provide support for production related issues and ensure staff meets our defined SLA commitments
- Communicate with key stake holders on the progress of projects and alert to any issues that may arise
The Objectives
- Timely implementation of improved workflow orchestrations
- Better monitoring, measurement, and report insights for the wet laboratory processes with the addition of each new workflow
- Establish a strong team of engineers who can fully own development responsibilities without a need for third-party consultants

Science - Minded, Patient - Focused.
At GeneDx, we create, follow, and are informed by cutting-edge science. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
