Senior Data Scientist, Prenatal

Ready to redefine what's possible in molecular diagnostics?

Join a team of brilliant, passionate innovators determined to transform healthcare. At BillionToOne, we've built a category-defining, publicly traded company on Nasdaq where transparency fuels trust, collaboration drives breakthroughs, and every contribution moves the needle on our mission to make life-changing diagnostics accessible to all. We don't just aim for incremental improvements; we build products that are 10x better than anything that exists today.

Our scientists, engineers, sales executives, and visionaries are united by an unwavering commitment to changing the standard of care in prenatal and cancer diagnostics. This is where cutting-edge science meets human compassion, and every innovation you contribute helps remove the fear of the unknown from some of life's most critical medical moments.

If you're driven by purpose, energized by innovation, and ready to help shape the future of precision medicine at scale, this is where you belong.

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Prenatal data team. At BillionToOne, our data scientists are full-stack: we own the entire analytics value chain. That means wearing a data engineering hat to land data into our central warehouse, an analytics engineering hat to model, document, and test it, and a data science hat to analyze it, build dashboards, and deliver insights that drive decisions across the company.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role. You will work directly with stakeholders across the business — commercial teams, lab operations, clinical and quality teams, bioinformatics, and executive leadership — owning those relationships end-to-end. AI is woven through how we work: you will use it daily to accelerate your own analyses and engineering, build HIPAA-compliant AI-powered analysis workflows for the team, and help colleagues across the organization adopt AI to do their best work.

Responsibilities:

• Own the full analytics stack for Prenatal: ingest data from disparate sources into our central data warehouse, build clean and well-tested data models, and deliver analyses, dashboards, and tooling that stakeholders can use directly.
• Partner with stakeholders across the business to answer high-stakes questions with data — for example, helping the lab improve turnaround time, helping sales identify at-risk accounts and new business opportunities, supporting clinical affairs with data on samples and outcomes, supporting business metrics around new product launches, and informing executive decisions on growth and strategy.
• Build and maintain the central analytical data warehouse that aggregates data from across the organization, while partnering with teams who own their own operational systems (e.g., Clarity, bioinformatics pipelines).
• Use AI tools to accelerate your own work, build HIPAA-compliant AI-powered analysis workflows, and help colleagues across the company adopt AI to improve their productivity.
• Develop and maintain Tableau dashboards and self-serve analytics that turn data into action for clinical, commercial, and operational teams.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in a data science, analytics engineering, or related data role. More experience is welcome.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python (or R) for data manipulation and analysis.
• Comfort working with messy, disparate data sources and the judgment to know when to clean, when to re-model, and when to push upstream.
• Experience working with clinical, healthcare, or other regulated data.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools to enhance your work, and an interest in helping others do the same.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to partner directly with non-technical stakeholders to scope problems and deliver useful answers.
• A strong sense of ownership: you are comfortable working directly with stakeholders and treat data quality and stakeholder outcomes as part of your job.

Nice-To-Haves:

• Familiarity with any of the tools we use is a plus: dbt, Airflow, Tableau, Stitch, Hightouch, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, AWS (S3, Batch, RDS, MWAA), and Clarity.
• Familiarity with bioinformatics, molecular diagnostics, or the broader healthcare landscape — including the lab sales cycle, prior authorization, and reimbursement — is also a plus, as is a background in the biosciences.

Benefits And Perks:

• Working alongside brilliant, kind, passionate and dedicated colleagues, in an empowering environment, toward a global vision, striving for a future in which transformative molecular diagnostics can help millions of patients
• Open, transparent culture that includes weekly Town Hall meetings
• The ability to indirectly or directly change the lives of hundreds of thousands patients
• Multiple medical benefit options; employee premiums paid 100% of select plans, dependents covered up to 80%
• Extremely generous Family Bonding Leave for new parents (16 weeks, paid at 100%)
• Free UNITY Complete NIPT testing for employees & spouses
• Supplemental fertility benefits coverage
• Retirement savings program including a 4% Company match
• Increase paid time off with increased tenure
• Latest and greatest hardware (laptop, lab equipment, facilities)
• Free daily on-site lunches provided from top eateries
• A variety of perks on campus (state of the art gym, restaurant)
• Free on-site EV charging (compatible with all EVs, including Tesla)

At BillionToOne, we are proud to offer a combination of a (1) base pay range (actual amount offered is based on experience and salary/equity options split that the candidate chooses), (2) generous equity options offering, (3) corporate bonus program, on top of (4) industry leading company benefits (free healthcare options, 401k match, very generous fully paid parental leave, etc.).
