from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Green-card follow-through: 87%
Of 15 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 2 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 497 days.96% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
15 transfer filings in the last year, covering 15 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- These will be the models that detect cancer in the minimal residual disease (MRD) setting and help inform treatment selection.
- The ideal candidate brings a strong background in algorithm development, genomics, sequencing data processing, and applied machine learning.
- This may differ in other locations due to cost of labor considerations.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end research analyses, from ideation through implementation (scripts and notebooks), troubleshooting, and performance evaluation, including developing new features within existing pipelines.
- Translate between wet-lab experimental design and computational analysis, navigating ambiguity as assay requirements evolve and maintaining rigorous quality control across high-volume sequencing data spanning multiple cohorts, vendors, and clinical protocols.
- Natera takes cyber crimes seriously, and will collaborate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute any related cyber crimes.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Engineering, Biochemistry, or a related field, with a strong focus on cancer epi/genomics with 0-3 years of professional experience.
- Master in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Engineering, Biochemistry, or a related field, with a strong focus on cancer epi/genomics with 4-6 years of professional experience.
- Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
- Strong quantitative reasoning and data analysis skills, with a demonstrated ability to apply them effectively to relevant scientific problems.
- Experience with Python and Linux command-line tools, including writing shell scripts.
