The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Clinical Genetic Scientist (ABGC board-certified Genetic Counselor) who’s ready to bring clarity to complexity and help shape the future of genomic healthcare. In this role, you’ll interpret exome and genome sequencing data, collaborate across disciplines, and deliver insights that directly impact patient care.
This isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to transform lives, challenge the boundaries of diagnostics, and contribute to a mission that matters.
What You’ll Do
Decode the rare and the complex: perform clinical data analysis, identifying potentially disease associated variants, by integrating molecular variant assessment with your clinical expertise
Own the case: drive each case forward by transforming complex genomic data into clinically meaningful insights
Collaborate to lead: work closely with geneticists, genetic counselors, molecular biologists, and bioinformaticians.
Push the science forward: contribute to internal knowledge sharing and continuous workflow improvement.
Be part of the conversation: participate in team discussions and provide clinical input on patient level interpretation
What You Bring
- Master’s degree in Genetic Counseling from an ACGC accredited program.
- ABGC board certification (required).
- 2+ years of experience in a clinical diagnostics lab preferred.
- Strong foundation in genomic testing, including variant interpretation and results disclosure.
- Excellent communication, time management, and decision-making skills.
Why GeneDx?
Flexibility: Pick your shift — Sunday–Thursday or Tuesday–Saturday (variable hours, 6am to 10pm EST).
Remote-first culture: Join a team that delivers differently, wherever you’re located.
Impact: Your work here isn’t abstract. It’s measured in lives gained, answers delivered, and families supported.

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.
