Careers
We have already helped thousands of dogs and their pet parents, and we're just getting started
Why we do it
Embark provides the only dog DNA test that uses a research-grade DNA microarray. This allows us to provide the most accurate and comprehensive results on the market, but more importantly, it allows us to do on-going research to make new genetic discoveries. Our research is focused on expanding genetic testing, improving personalized veterinary medicine, and developing new breeding programs to eliminate preventable disease in pets.

Where do you fit in
SCIENCE
Our science team leads our scientific development, support, and research out of our Ithaca office. We can be found designing new genotyping microarrays, inventing new ancestry deconvolution algorithms, and performing GWAS studies to identify new genetic linkages. We stay close to customers, explaining their ancestry results or the details of medical conditions, as well as working closely with breed organizations, vets, and shelters.
ENGINEERING
Our engineering team leads our technical product development and delivery out of our Boston HQ. We ensure the genetic analysis pipeline performs quickly, accurately, reliably, and at scale - no small challenge with genome-scale data. Our designers and engineers collaborate to craft the entire digital experience and make complex genetic insights easy to understand and share. Our goal is to ship working software, every day.
BUSINESS
Our business team is responsible for a wide set of critical functions and based in Boston. We fuel the growth engine at Embark, through marketing, sales, and partnerships. We oversee e-commerce and physical product, making sure that test kits get to our customers and back as quickly as possible.
