Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS), 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.

With over 700 employees, half a million patients helped, and one of the most successful IPOs in medical diagnostics history behind us, we're just getting started. 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 driven Clinical Laboratory Scientists (with California Clinical Laboratory Scientist License) to perform UNITY, the only non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) that can detect inherited disorders such as sickle cell disease, spinal muscular atrophy, and cystic fibrosis in the baby directly from maternal blood. These disorders are extremely severe, but early detection and intervention can significantly improve outcomes. You will join our growing superstar CLIA team responsible for end-to-end processing of pregnancy blood samples in a high complexity, high-growth CLIA setting. The Clinical Laboratory Scientist is an onsite position.
