- Takes a data centric, objective approach to decision making and has the ability to put aside personal preferences, historical bias, peer pressure and political influences to arrive at decisions on a reasoned, objectively-defensible basis
- Strong presence; good communicator and highly influential both externally as well as internally at the executive level and across the organization
- A highly collaborative, team player with a company-first mentality; ability to influence, prioritize, and get alignment cross-functionally

- Execute the daily operations of the CyberSecurity Detection & Response function through leveraging an external Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) and internal IT & Security engineering resources
- Leverage the data collected as part of the Detection & Response program to identify and prioritize control gaps, process gaps, and training gaps in our Cyber Security posture

- You will leverage the trends you identify, and intelligence collected about the applicable threat space to influence our security roadmaps

Our take
DNA is an invaluable resource for scientific research projects, but access to it is highly restricted. Data is collected by 'DNA banks' in large quantities, but there is no existing platform for researchers to access it.
DNANexus provides a cloud storage platform for DNA data that provides access and collaborative opportunities to governments, universities, doctors and pharmaceutical companies. In addition to storing this data to be accessed, the company provides an open source machine learning approach to the analysis of DNA.
By providing an open platform of DNA storage and analysis tools for research facilities, DNAnexus aims to make the power of DNA accessible to all who would benefit from it. And its doing so with substantial funding which its put towards the global adoption of its technology.
