We are looking for a Director of Science to guide OUR scientific research and development in genetics and genomics. As the company expands beyond genetic genealogy into health-related products, including clinical genomics, high coverage whole genome sequencing, and wellness and trait analyses, this role will be central to building the algorithms, pipelines, and scientific standards behind them. It will also support the continued development of our core genetic genealogy products, including ethnicity estimation, relationship inference, local ancestry, and more.

The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in computational genomics, method development and machine learning with hands-on clinical genomics experience, strong leadership, and a proven ability to execute in a dynamic, consumer-facing environment.

Your work will directly impact millions of users worldwide, helping them discover their health, ancestry and connect with family through science. Youll apply cutting-edge methods to analyze millions of DNA samples and family trees, leveraging one of the largest consumer genetics datasets in the world.

Key Responsibilities
Scientific leadership: Define and execute the scientific roadmap aligned with company goals, including the expansion into health and clinical genomics.
Team leadership: Manage and mentor a team of senior scientists and data scientists. Provide technical direction, support professional growth, and foster a culture of scientific excellence.
Algorithmic research: Lead the design, development and validation of scalable, production-ready algorithms and pipelines. These include sequencing analysis and variant interpretation, carrier screening, polygenic risk scores, and new genetic genealogy methods.
Collaboration and communication: Work closely with engineering, product, and data teams to translate research into user-facing features. Clearly communicate scientific concepts, limitations, and progress internally and externally.
