Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Design the architectural framework for next-generation sample accessioning and triage, utilizing automation and intelligent routing to minimize manual data entry and sample handling errors.
  • Define the strategy for End-to-End Workflow Tracking, ensuring real-time visibility of sample status from kit activation through wet-lab processing to final clinical reporting.
  • Lead the modernization of Workflow Orchestration, moving away from static, hard-coded paths toward a dynamic, metadata-driven engine that supports complex branching across multiple lab sites.
  • Partner with Lab Ops to identify "automation-first" opportunities, ensuring software and robotics (Hamilton, Tecan, etc.) are deeply integrated for maximum throughput.
  • Architect the "Digital Bridge" between Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS) and commercial platforms, ensuring robust, bi-directional data flow with EMR/EHR systems and Provider Portals.
  • Collaborate with Customer Experience (CX) teams to ensure lab data is surfaced to patients and providers through modern, API-driven interfaces.
  • Lead the technical strategy for "Order Triage," ensuring complex clinical orders are validated and routed correctly across diverse business units (Oncology, MRD, WH).

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in enterprise software architecture, with a heavy emphasis on Laboratory Informatics, LIMS, or Healthcare IT.
  • Demonstrated success designing systems that manage high-volume sample lifecycles (Accessioning, Triage, and Orchestration).
  • Proven expertise in Enterprise Integration Patterns, specifically connecting clinical lab systems to EMRs and RCM/Billing platforms.
  • Deep understanding of the "Order-to-Cash" technical journey in a diagnostic or medical device environment.
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to influence Lab Operations, Commercial, and Engineering stakeholders.
Benefits
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life and disability plans for eligible employees and their dependents.
  • Free testing for Natera employees and their immediate families.
  • Fertility care benefits.
  • Pregnancy and baby bonding leave.
  • 401k benefits.
  • Commuter benefits.
  • Generous employee referral program.
