You own instrument connectivity, data storage and data movement, workflow / pipeline execution, sample and project management, notebooks and interactive analysis, platform user experience, and APIs / developer experience — the product capabilities that make BioInsight Platform the durable home for Illumina software applications. You partner tightly with other software product leaders, as well as stakeholders across Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Finance, and Legal.
