The opportunity

What you'll own

• Define and own the company-wide AI and emerging technology strategy, aligned with product and business goals for AI + genomics.
• Build and maintain AI strategy docs, technical roadmaps, and a bioinformatics AI roadmap that translate vision into clear initiatives, milestones, and metrics.
• Design and lead an AI agent framework and automation infrastructure (agent swarms/societies) to power genomic interpretation, personalization, and operational automation.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Bioinformatics to ship AI/ML features across web and native apps, from prototype to scaled production.
• Drive AI feature adoption, continuously improving model accuracy, quality, and time-to-insight for genomic AI use cases.
• Collaborate with Mobile Engineering to make native app development smoother, improve app quality, and ensure successful submission and performance in app stores.
• Work closely with Growth and Product to design experiments that increase AI-driven user engagement, retention, and revenue.
• Establish and track core AI metrics: AI feature adoption rate, model accuracy and quality, time-to-insight for genomic AI, AI-driven revenue impact, and team velocity/innovation output.
• Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing AI/ML and emerging tech team, including AI/ML engineers and bioinformatics scientists.
• Ensure structured alignment and communication with the CEO, Bioinformatics, Engineering, Product, Design, and Growth leaders.
