I think you'll experience the opposite. Most employers will realise you're in a real shitty situation and will be more than happy to help. Moreover, they will probably quite keen to interview you, if for nothing else than to get more information - use that opportunity to your advantage.
The morality and ethics of Theranos are in question, not the quality of their software, most organisations would be more than happy to have a former Theranos engineer in their ranks.
No one thinks the engineers are the liars or frauds, it would be really hard for a company to corrupt all the engineers on that scale without the whistle being blown much sooner that it was - employers will know that.
Stop worrying and go find a great place to work (preferably somewhere a little less controversial.... Uber perhaps!).
