Natera is seeking a Lead Bioinformatics Engineer to own pipeline and infrastructure engineering for a research informatics team working on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening in Women's and Organ Health. This is an individual contributor role.

You will own our WDL workflows, the transition toward Nextflow, the AWS infrastructure the team runs on, and the tooling around them. You will inherit a working system from the person who built it, and with them still on the team to teach you.

Our workflows leave clear wins available in cost and runtime for whoever takes them on. Getting scientists to the point where they process their own samples end to end, without an engineer in the loop, is a major thrust of this role.
