By integrating the experience of Gene by Gene Laboratory Services, FamilyTreeDNA genealogy, and myDNA reporting services, we strive to deliver cutting-edge genetic testing and personalized solutions that inspire informed decisions and enhance quality of life. Our team is dedicated to advancing the field of genomics through innovation, research, and a commitment to excellence.\nOUR VALUES\nAll employees are expected to demonstrate our values of Innovate, One Team, and Integrity when carrying out the accountabilities and responsibilities of their role.\nThis how we show up every day for ourselves, our colleagues and our customers and strategic partners to deliver our vision and strategic goals.\nPOSITION OVERVIEW\nThe Full-Stack Software Developer designs, develops, and supports the software systems that run myDNA's CAP/CLIA laboratory operations. This role sits within the Laboratory department and works across the full stack - C#/ASP.NET Core services, React front ends, and SQL Server data layers - to build tools that lab staff depend on for sample tracking, instrument integration, and data integrity. The developer is expected to work in an LLM-assisted development environment, using Claude Code and similar tools as part of the daily workflow for implementation, refactoring, testing, and issue investigation. Effective use of these tools requires strong underlying engineering fundamentals: the ability to decompose problems, recognize a bad design or a subtle defect on sight, and reject output that doesn't meet the bar. The developer remains fully accountable for the correctness, security, and maintainability of everything that ships. Because the systems this role supports handle clinical and consumer genetic data, a high standard of attention to detail, confidentiality, and validation discipline is required. Familiarity with laboratory environments, automation, or genomics is a plus.\nACCOUNTABILITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES\nSoftware Design & Development- 45%\nDesign, build, and ship full-stack solutions supporting laboratory operations using C#/ASP.NET Core, React/TypeScript, RESTful Web APIs, and SQL Server.\nTranslate business and lab requirements into functional, maintainable solutions applying SOLID principles, appropriate design patterns, and CQRS where warranted.\nBuild and integrate messagingbased workflows (RabbitMQ). Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines and development tooling.\nMaintain code documentation and contribute to system architecture decisions.\nLLM-Assisted Development & Code Quality\nUse Claude Code and comparable AI development tools as a primary part of the daily workflow for implementation, refactoring, test authoring, and investigation.\nCritically review AI-generated output for correctness, security, and maintainability; reject or rework what does not meet standards.\nParticipate in peer code review. Retain full accountability for all code that ships regardless of how it was produced.\nSystem Support & Troubleshooting- 15%\nInvestigate, triage, and resolve production and development issues affecting laboratory systems\nCollect, analyze, and summarize service issues; identify root cause and implement durable fixes.\nSupport lab staff as a technical point of contact.\nMonitor system health and respond to incidents affecting sample processing or data flow.\nRequirements & Stakeholder Collaboration- 10%\nConfer with laboratory staff, scientists, and other stakeholders to gather and clarify requirements. Study systems flow, data usage, and work processes.\nAsk questions, make suggestions, and convey technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences. Participate in UI/UX prototyping and solution validation.\nData Integrity, Security & Compliance- 10%\nProtect operations by maintaining confidentiality of clinical and consumer genetic data and prioritizing security in all design and implementation decisions.\nEnsure changes to laboratory systems preserve data integrity and traceability consistent with CAP/CLIA requirements.\nFollow validation and change-control practices for regulated systems.\nPOSITION REQUIREMENTS\nSkills and Knowledge\nStrong coding skill in C# and JavaScript (TypeScript experience preferred)\nHands-on proficiency with ASP.NET Core, React, HTML/CSS, and RESTful Web API development.\nSolid SQL skills (primarily SQL Server, some PostgreSQL) and experience with Entity Framework.\nWorking knowledge of software design principles (SOLID), object-oriented programming and design, system architecture, CQRS, and messaging systems such as RabbitMQ. Proficient with Git and continuous integration/deployment practices.\nEffective use of LLM-assisted development tools, including Claude Code, as part of the daily engineering workflow.\nStrong engineering fundamentals: the ability to decompose problems clearly, direct AI tooling toward a well-defined outcome, recognize flawed designs or subtle defects on sight, and reject output that does not meet quality standards.\nStrong troubleshooting and analytical skills, with the ability to collect, analyze, and summarize technical issues.\nClear written and verbal communication, including the ability to DECISION MAKING explain complex technical topics to non-technical stakeholders.\nDemonstrated integrity, dependability, attention to detail, and a commitment to confidentiality and data security.\nPreferred: understanding of genetics, molecular biology, PCR, next-generation sequencing, laboratory automation, liquid handlers, and robotics.\nExperience:\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n4+ years of professional software development experience building and maintaining production applications across the full stack. \nDemonstrated experience designing and shipping web applications using C#/.NET and a modern JavaScript framework, backed by relational databases. \nExperience working within a version-controlled, CI/CD-based development process and participating in peer code review. \nPractical experience using AI coding assistants in a production development workflow is preferred, as is experience integrating with third-party systems, instruments, or APIs. \nPreferred: prior experience in a laboratory, clinical, healthcare, or other regulated environment (CAP/CLIA, CLIA, HIPAA, or similar), including familiarity with validation and change-control requirements. \nDECISON MAKING\nDecisions this role makes alone\nImplementation-level decisions within an assigned scope of work: code structure, class and method design, algorithm and data-structure selection, naming, and refactoring of existing code within an established pattern. Selection and application of design patterns consistent with existing system conventions. \nLocal database schema changes within an owned component. Test strategy and coverage for their own work. Day-today use of AI-assisted development tooling, including how to scope and prompt a task, and whether to accept, revise, or discard AI-generated output. \nThe developer decides independently when generated code is not fit to ship. Prioritization and sequencing of their own assigned tasks within a sprint or committed timeline. Troubleshooting approach and diagnostic path when investigating a defect. \nWhen to raise a question, flag a risk, or request review from a peer or lead. Whether their own work is ready for code review or release candidate status.\nDecisions this role makes under guidance\nArchitectural decisions affecting more than one component or service, including introduction of new patterns, messaging topologies, or significant changes to system boundaries. \nAdoption of new libraries, frameworks, third-party services, or development tools not already in use on the team. Changes to shared infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, or deployment configuration.\nDatabase schema changes that affect shared data, integrations, or historical laboratory records. Data migration approach and rollback planning. Scope negotiation and effort estimation for new features, including trade-offs between delivery timeline and technical approach.\nDecisions to defer or accept technical debt. Changes to user-facing workflows used by laboratory staff, including UI/UX direction and any change that alters how lab personnel perform a validated process. \nExpansion of AI-assisted tooling into new areas of the workflow, and standards governing its use on the team.\nDecisions this role escalates\nAny change that may affect the integrity, accuracy, or traceability of clinical or consumer genetic data, or that touches a validated laboratory system or process subject to CAP/CLIA requirements. \nSuspected or confirmed security incidents, data exposure, unauthorized access, or handling of protected health information outside established procedures. \nProduction incidents that halt or materially degrade laboratory operations, sample processing, or result reporting. \nDiscovery of defects with potential impact on previously released results, reports, or data delivered to customers or clinical partners. \nCommitments to external parties, vendors, or customers, including delivery dates, contract terms, or service expectations.\nRequests to bypass established change-control, validation, code review, or release procedures, regardless of source or urgency. \nRegulatory, compliance, or legal questions, and any decision materially affecting budget, headcount, vendor selection, or project scope beyond the assigned work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":9715,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Genomics & Genetic Testing","Precision Medicine"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T07:20:32Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-06T16:49:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mydna-full-stack-software-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mydna-full-stack-software-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T23:06:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4175,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":825,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":680223},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=680223"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmydna-full-stack-software-developer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmydna-full-stack-software-developer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmydna-full-stack-software-developer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mydna-full-stack-software-developer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmydna-full-stack-software-developer"}]}
