## Job description

## WHO WE ARE

Parse Biosciences, a QIAGEN company, is a global life sciences company whose mission is to accelerate progress in human health and scientific research. Empowering researchers to perform single cell sequencing with unprecedented scale and ease, its pioneering approach has enabled groundbreaking discoveries in cancer treatment, tissue repair, stem cell therapy, kidney and liver disease, brain development, and the immune system.

Founded based on a transformative technology invented at the University of Washington, Parse has raised over $100 million and is used by over 3,000 labs across the world. Our growing portfolio of products includes Evercode Whole Transcriptome, Evercode TCR, BCR, Gene Capture, and a software tool for data analysis.

Parse Biosciences is based in Seattle, Washington's vibrant South Lake Union district, where we recently opened a 34,000 square foot headquarters and state-of-the-art laboratory.

## THE POSITION

As a GENOMICS LAB TECHNICIAN you will work as part of the Genomic Lab team to fix, barcode, and/or sequence biological samples. In this role, you will use a wide range of laboratory techniques to perform our proprietary split-pool combinatorial barcoding protocol, ultimately helping advance our customers’ research. You will also collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including R&D, Automation, Manufacturing, and other internal partners to ensure seamless process execution and continuous improvement.

## IN THIS POSITION, YOU WILL

- Maintain a safe, clean, and efficient work environment
- Receive, inspect, and log lab specimens, handling all personally identifiable information with extreme care
- Perform cell and/or nuclei fixation following standard operating procedures
- Use techniques such as cell counting and electrophoresis to analyze in-process samples
- Prepare libraries using Parse’s split-pool combinatorial barcoding process
- Operate and support automated laboratory systems used for Next Generation Sequencing
- Maintain accurate batch records and perform required administrative tasks following Good Documentation Practices (GDP), including routine use of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) for sample tracking and documentation
- Follow all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and adhere to Good Clinical Laboratory Practices (GCLP) as well as any other applicable standards that may apply to the role

## FOR THIS POSITION, WE LOOK FOR

- B.S./B.A. in a relevant field with 3+ years of hands-on wet lab experience in industry or a technician role, or Associate’s degree with 5+ years of relevant hands-on wet lab experience in a professional setting
- Demonstrated ability to perform common molecular biology or chemistry lab techniques
- Experience using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) such as Illumina or Ultima platforms required. Experience using Lab Automation such as Hamilton platforms preferred
- Meticulous adherence to policies, procedures, and established protocols
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to stay organized and effectively prioritize work
- Sound judgment and critical thinking skills, including the ability to make in-scope decisions and escalate appropriately during time-sensitive tasks
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, dynamic lab environment where priorities shift and focus can change quickly
- Adaptability and resilience when plans evolve or new direction is introduced

## JOB CONDITIONS

- PPE consistent with BSL-1 and/or BSL-2 laboratory standards is required
- Standing for extended periods and occasionally lifting and/or carrying up to 30 pounds
- Core business hours are required; however, this role may require overtime and adjusted start/end times based on lab and business needs. Scheduling flexibility is expected. No overnight shifts
- Handling of biological specimens that may carry risk of bloodborne pathogens and other potentially infectious materials
- Repetitive motions using pipettes and other laboratory equipment

## About Parse Biosciences

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Parse Biosciences provides scalable single-cell sequencing solutions using instrument-free combinatorial barcoding technology.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C, $100M total funding; some sources report acquisition by Qiagen — conflicting reports) [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/parsebiosciences/__pk-Xl6rxoRtFqGJiSM3LVMG76ugSncDqx7fjjy4H4yI)
- **Headquarters**: Seattle, Washington, United States
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Alex Rosenberg (CEO) and Charles Roco (CTO) [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/parse-biosciences)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Life Sciences / Biotechnology Research
- **Target customers**: B2B — academic, pharmaceutical, and biotech research laboratories
- **Mission**: “Accelerate progress in human health and scientific research” [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/parse-biosciences)

## Products & Services
All products are reagent kits and software, not hardware.

## Strategic Focus
- Expand into FFPE samples and immune profiling to unlock new applications.
- Strengthen bioinformatics capabilities through the acquisition of Biomage.
- Grow global sales team (openings in Europe, North America, and Canada).
- Continue to demonstrate cost and quality advantages over droplet-based competitors.
