About Probably Genetic

Probably Genetic is changing the lives of severely ill patients. Our data platform is used by drug developers and patient advocacy groups to develop and launch treatments for patients with rare, genetic, and complex diseases. Our technology discovers undiagnosed patients online, analyzes their disease state using machine learning and at-home testing, and enables compliant communication. In doing so, we help patients access diagnoses, clinical trials, and treatments as early as possible.

We are a tight-knit group of hard-working, ambitious problem solvers who care about a mission greater than ourselves.

We do well by doing right by patients. Our annually recurring revenue is growing >6x year over year, we’re profitable, and our roadmap is packed with innovations in bioinformatics, machine learning, and drug development. We are building an allstar team to help us bring our vision to life and we want you to be a part of it.

Probably Genetic has raised multiple rounds of funding from Silicon Valley’s best investors, including Threshold, Khosla, and Y Combinator, giving us the ability to pay competitive salaries, offer great benefits, and provide meaningful equity. We will also take you on the most incredible team retreats you’ve ever experienced (Barbados, the Alps, Mexico, and Portugal, just to name a few).

• Patient-focused and motivated to have a lasting, positive impact on humanity

• Comfortable in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment

• Action-oriented and excited to build a company from the ground up

The salary range for this role is $121,000-$216,000 annually. Actual compensation offered will depend on several factors including but not limited to: work experience, education, skill level, and/or other business and organizational needs.
