Universal Diagnostics S.A.
About Our Company
Universal D X , Inc. is an international company dedicated to cracking cancer’s code through multi-omics and bioinformatics models that read disease signals in blood with high accuracy. We began with a colorectal cancer screening liquid biopsy test and are building a multi-cancer platform to identify DNA regions associated with different cancers.
The Opportunity Senior Bioinformatician to join our Bioinformatics team for development, validation, and deployment of analytical pipelines supporting our liquid‑biopsy colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs.
How You’ll Contribute
Develop, optimize, and maintain bioinformatics pipelines for cfDNA methylation analysis and NGS‑based assays.
Implement high‑quality software and analysis code following best practices (version control, testing, documentation, reproducibility).
Contribute to statistical and machine‑learning workflows for biomarker extraction, classifier development, and performance analysis.
Generate documentation, validation reports, and analysis artifacts aligned with design control, quality systems, and regulatory requirements.
Execute analyses that support assay verification/validation, analytical performance studies, and clinical trial data deliveries.
Perform in‑depth analyses of NGS and methylation datasets, including feature extraction, QC, differential methylation analysis, classifier performance evaluation, and troubleshooting.
Support internal reports, presentations, and cross‑functional data reviews.
Contribute to the scientific rationale and interpretation of results relevant to CRC early detection.
Required Qualifications
PhD, MSc, or equivalent in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, or related field.
3–5+ years industry experience in biotech, medtech, diagnostics, ideally in cancer early detection, liquid biopsy, or NGS‑based diagnostics.
Strong expertise in NGS data processing for cfDNA or methylation‑based assays, methylation analysis, feature calling, biomarker discovery, statistical modeling and/or machine learning applied to diagnostic development.
Demonstrated ability to work in a regulated or product‑oriented environment, with familiarity in design controls, validation, documentation, and quality processes.
Proficiency in Python, workflow development (Nextflow, Snakemake, WDL), and cloud‑based computational environments.
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
Ability to work in a fast‑paced, delivery‑focused environment with high operational rigor.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting analytical validation, clinical studies, or regulatory submissions for molecular diagnostics (IVD, LDT, FDA, IVDR).
Familiarity with large‑scale data systems, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Docker), and CI/CD practices.
Understanding of wet‑lab processes and constraints in NGS assay development.
Prior experience translating research bioinformatics methods into reproducible, production‑ready pipelines.
Experience in CRC or other cancer early detection programs.
What We´ll Offer
22 days of PTO, with the possibility to carry over 10 days to the following year.
Company holidays, plus your birthday off.
Company‑sponsored benefit plans including medical, dental, vision, life, STD, LTD coverage, and 401(k).
Flexible work schedule.
Relocation support to the DFW area for on‑site roles.
And more to come.
Seniority level Mid‑Senior level
Employment type Full‑time
Job function Research, Analyst, and Information Technology
