GRAIL is focused on alleviating the global burden of cancer by developing pioneering technology to detect and identify multiple deadly cancer types early. The company is using the power of next-generation sequencing, population-scale clinical studies, and state-of-the-art computer science and data science to enhance the scientific understanding of cancer biology, and to develop its multi-cancer early detection blood test. GRAIL is headquartered in Menlo Park, CA with locations in Washington, D.C., North Carolina, and the United Kingdom. GRAIL, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN).

GRAIL processes patient blood samples in factory-like laboratories to detect cancer and will significantly expand its commercial operations both in the US and abroad over the coming years. As a consequence, engineering teams are tasked with building software and hardware to automate and streamline many processes in the lab.

GRAIL UK is building a remote software team with engineers in both the UK and US that will support these efforts. You will work as part of a full-stack team to design, develop and run systems that will run these industrial style laboratories. Your work will directly support the processing of GRAIL’s multi-cancer early detection blood test.

We are looking for engineers to join a remote team with team members in the UK and US. Being remote working with US and UK teams requires some flexibility in working hours but you will be judged on the work that you get done rather than what hours you worked.

You Will

• Design, build and run the platform that processes patient samples.
• Be part of a cross-functional team that collaborates with US & UK engineers and lab operators.
• Work on problems that sometimes cannot be solved with software alone.
• Take responsibility for the systems managed by the team and support the operation teams that use the system you build through on-call rotations.

• The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Bioinformatics or similar technical field, and 8+ years of relevant work experience designing, developing, testing and maintaining software.
• You are experienced in general-purpose programming languages such as Go, Python, Javascript, etc, but understand that ultimately these are tools to solve problems. Our stack is Go and React Typescript.
• You are dedicated, driven and comfortable working in a remote team environment that collaborates with US and UK software and operations teams. You have experience successfully mentoring and guiding junior Engineers.
• You have excellent logical reasoning and analytical skills, with a preference for simple solutions.
• You are a strong written and verbal communicator and can adapt your communication style and the level of detail to your audience.
• You have experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Microsoft Azure.

The estimated, full-time, annual base pay scale for this position is $160,000 - $202,000. Actual base pay will consider skills, experience, and location. 

Based on the role, colleagues may be eligible to participate in an annual bonus plan tied to company and individual performance, or an incentive plan. We also offer a long-term incentive plan to align company and colleague success over time.

In addition, GRAIL offers a progressive benefit package, including flexible time-off, a 401k with a company match, and alongside our medical, dental, vision plans, carefully selected mindfulness offerings.
