Nest Genomics
Software to launch and integrate genetics into clinical care
Support Engineer
About the role
Nest Genomics is transforming how healthcare systems offer genomic services. Our platform delivers a turnkey solution to implement genomic-based programs in everyday care, from patient identification to long-term management. Nest is implemented in major health systems and hundreds of clinics across the country, and we’re just getting started.
We’re hiring a Support Engineer to serve as the technical bridge between our customers, their patients, and our product team. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role for a technically-minded professional with a background in life sciences who enjoys deconstructing complex problems and ensuring our software performs flawlessly in clinical environments. It’s a great fit for someone with experience in genetics or clinical research—such as a Genetic Counselor (GC), Genetic Counseling Assistant (GCA), or Research Coordinator—who has a natural aptitude for technology and wants to work at the intersection of genomics and software engineering.
How You’ll Contribute
- Be the front line for customer support - Respond to customer questions, troubleshoot issues, and help ensure customers have a smooth and positive experience using the Nest platform.
- Create structure and repeatable processes - Build and improve workflows for handling support requests, tracking follow-up, documenting recurring issues, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
- Help build scalable support systems - Identify patterns in customer questions and internal work, create templates and documentation, and help build a more efficient and consistent support function as we grow. Use AI tools to streamline support operations, improve documentation, surface insights, and increase team efficiency over time.
- Work closely with product & engineering - Triage bugs, document issues clearly, test fixes, and help translate customer feedback into actionable product improvements.
- Be hands-on on the platform. Review cases, investigate support tickets, validate workflows, and help with configuration, content updates, and quality checks as needed.
- Build strong customer relationships. Join customer calls, communicate clearly and professionally, and become a trusted point of contact for questions, follow-up, and issue resolution.
Our Ideal Candidate Will Have
- Life Sciences Foundation: Professional experience in life sciences, healthcare, or clinical research.
- Technical Curiosity: You may not be a full-stack developer, but you aren't afraid of APIs, database queries, or looking at logs. You are "tech-forward" and learn new software systems faster than your peers.
- Analytical Problem-Solving: You don't just "fix" things; you want to know why they broke. You are resourceful and can manage an issue from initial report to verified technical resolution.
- Strong Communicator: Clear, concise writer and communicator who can explain issues simply and effectively to both internal teams and external customers.
- Cross-functional collaboration: Excited to work closely with product, engineering, and clinical team members in a fast-moving startup environment.
- Process Mindset: You enjoy building repeatable systems and documentation that help a support function scale alongside a growing company.
- Startup Adaptability: You are proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, and ready to jump in wherever needed to improve the business and the customer experience.
Nice to Have
- Direct experience as a Certified Genetic Counselor or GCA.
- Familiarity with EMRs, HL7/FHIR integrations, or healthcare data security standards.
- Experience using SQL or developer tools to investigate data issues.
- Previous experience in a SaaS environment or supporting clinical software.
