Active Motif is a global leader in developing and delivering innovative tools and services for epigenetics and gene regulation research. We are committed to providing high-quality products, cutting-edge technologies, and exceptional scientific support to the life science, clinical, and pharmaceutical research communities. Our comprehensive portfolio of epigenetics assays, sequencing services, and analytical solutions empowers researchers to investigate chromatin biology, gene regulation, and disease mechanisms with confidence.
As a Bioinformatics Scientist, you will serve as a critical bridge between complex genomic data and actionable biological insights. In this role, you will analyze and interpret large-scale genomics and epigenomics datasets generated from next-generation sequencing (NGS) experiments. Your work will involve developing and maintaining robust analytical pipelines, applying advanced statistical and computational methods, and collaborating with internal scientists and external customers to drive discovery.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team where independent problem-solving meets effective collaboration. Day-to-day, you will support assay development and the implementation of novel analytical methods for transcriptomic and epigenetic datasets. Whether working with ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, Hi-C, DNA methylation, or single-cell sequencing technologies, you will ensure our pipelines remain optimized and cutting-edge. You will also stay current with emerging bioinformatics methods, software, and best practices to continuously improve our analytical capabilities.
Active Motif is dedicated to supporting the well-being and growth of our employees. We offer a comprehensive benefits package including Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance with no-cost employee premium plans and 50% subsidized premiums for dependents. We also provide Life Insurance, Short- and Long-term Disability Insurance (employer-paid), and a 401(k) plan available after 90 days of employment.
Our commitment to work-life balance is reflected in our generous Paid Time Off (PTO) of 120 hours annually, plus 10 paid major holidays and year-end holiday time off. Additionally, we offer a free Electric Vehicle Charging Station at our facilities.
Active Motif is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants.

Active Motif, headquartered in Carlsbad, California, operates within the biotechnology research sector, specializing in epigenomics and the systematic analysis of gene expression states distinct from mutational changes. The company supports the broader scientific community by providing high-quality antibodies, enzymes, and patented transposase-based technologies designed to simplify the interrogation of chromatin dynamics, histone modifications, DNA methylation, and gene regulation. These tools facilitate mechanistic studies, translational medicine, drug discovery, and diagnostics by enabling researchers to map the epigenetic landscape and identify predictive biomarkers for disease development.
The organization bridges the gap between genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics through a multiomics approach, allowing for the aggregation of data into actionable information. Active Motif transforms emerging novel techniques into innovative products that researchers can utilize within their own laboratories or integrate into end-to-end service pipelines. A dedicated bioinformatics platform complements these offerings by analyzing data generated from epigenetic techniques to reveal insights into disease progression and drug responses. This comprehensive ecosystem empowers scientists to investigate how external factors such as environmental chemicals, aging, and diet influence health outcomes through precise measurement and analysis of the epigenetic landscape.
