About the role

23and Me seeks a quantitative scientist to build clinically useful risk prediction models from large-scale genetic and phenotypic data in Palo Alto. You will collaborate with clinical and genetic scientists to deploy models for consumers and clinicians, and present findings at scientific events. The role emphasizes statistical genetics, machine learning, and clear communication, with Bay Area-based compensation and a path to translate research into real-world health tools.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
