Full Job Posting

Who You Are

  • 8+ years in security, including at least one stretch as the first or only security leader at a company under a few hundred people. Building from zero matters more here than years or title.
  • Have taken a company through SOC 2 or built a HIPAA program from scratch. ISO 27001 is a plus.
  • Hands-on in AWS and web application security. You can read a Terraform PR, triage a pentest finding, and tune a WAF rule yourself.
  • Still hands-on and want to stay that way. You have run pentests through vendors, triaged the findings yourself, and closed them with engineers.
  • Have secured a consumer-facing product at scale, including identity and account security, MFA, credential stuffing defense, session and account recovery abuse.
  • Understand privacy and breach obligations beyond HIPAA
  • Already work AI-first. You use coding assistants and LLMs daily and can show us how they changed your security workflow. You believe the answer to "should we block this AI tool" is almost always "no, here is how we govern it."
  • Exceptional communicator under pressure. You have briefed a board, founder, or executive team during a live incident, and you can explain risk and tradeoffs to non-technical leaders in plain language, in writing and in the room.
  • Nice to have: healthcare or genomics experience; familiarity with state genetic privacy laws, the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule, and state breach notification requirements; ecommerce or payment-processing security; ISO 27001; PCI DSS; Drupal security; GDPR and international data transfers; mobile application security; Vanta or Drata; SIEM; Cloudflare Enterprise; and Zero Trust.
  • Why Sequencing?
  • For decades, the human genome has been one of the richest health information in the world, but most people have never been able to truly understand or use it. We’re changing that.
  • We're transforming billions of genetic variants and decades of scientific research into technology people can interact with naturally and trust. This isn't another health app. It's a new category that brings together bioinformatics, genetics, and consumer health.
  • Your work won’t just help build Sequencing. It will help redefine how people understand themselves through their DNA for decades to come.
  • Our values spell out the four DNA bases: A dvocate, C ommit, G uide, T rust.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off
  • Paid volunteer time off annual, during normal business hours
  • Fully remote work, with equipment provided and internet and cell reimbursements
  • Parental bonding leave
  • Private, confidential clinical-grade whole genome sequencing for you and your immediate family
  • Join us in helping build the interface between humanity and its DNA!
