## Description

Grail is looking for a Staff level full-stack engineer who enjoys working on a broad array of software systems and projects. The team is responsible for patient-facing software used for The Galleri® Test as well as gathering clinical data. We strive to build a robust and scalable infrastructure as well as easy-to-use UI interfaces. Our technical stack consists of Go, AWS, Kubernetes, Microservices, and React. This role is based in Sunnyvale, California. We are moving to our new headquarters in September so you may visit us at our current Menlo Park, CA offices during the interivew process. GRAIL offers a flexible work arrangement, with the ability to work from GRAIL's office or from home. Our current flexible work arrangement policy requires that a minimum of 60%, or 24 hours, of your total work week be on-site. Your specific schedule, determined in collaboration with your manager, will align with team and business needs and could exceed the 60% requirement for the site. At
our Sunnyvale, CA campus, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the key days where we encourage on-site presence to engage in events and on-site activities. We may also consider candidates in Durham NC but the bay area is preferred.
Responsibilities

 * Use your experience developing backend applications and distributed systems to build native cloud-based software that is leveraged by GRAIL's key commercial offerings for the Galleri® Test , my.grail.com and provider.grail.com
 * Develop and lead multiple large cross-functional / cross-organizational programs with high complexity, resource requirements and associated risks.
 * Drive improvements for the software engineering organization based on understanding of business needs and industry trends
 * Provide technical leadership in the form of standards, tools, and knowledge requirements for the software engineering organization
 * Guide and mentors team members to provide an example of innovation and excellence
