What Sequence Bio screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, Healthcare, Drug Discovery and Delivery): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Sequence Bio's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a 50-200-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Sequence Bio is dealing with right now — is growing fast after their null round, and what you'd do about it.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
