Our team builds and operates the patient- and provider-facing software behind the Galleri® test, including my.grail.com and provider.grail.com, along with the systems that collect and deliver the clinical data the test depends on. The software we write sits directly in the path between a patient ordering a test and a physician acting on the result, so correctness, reliability, and clarity matter as much as velocity.\nThis is a backend-leaning full-stack role for an engineer who wants meaningful ownership. You will design and build cloud-native services in Go on AWS and Kubernetes, and you will follow your work through to the React interfaces that patients and clinicians actually use. You will own systems end to end - design, implementation, testing, rollout, and production operation - and you will help raise the bar for the engineers around you. If you want your work to have a direct line to earlier cancer detection, this is a rare place to do it.\nThis role is based in Sunnyvale, California. It 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 campus, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the key days where we encourage on-site presence to engage in events and on-site activities.\nResponsibilities\nDesign, build, and operate backend services and distributed systems that power GRAIL's commercial offerings for the Galleri® test, including my.grail.com and provider.grail.com.\n\nOwn features and services end to end, from technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.\n\nContribute across the stack, building and maintaining React interfaces used by patients, clinicians, and internal clinical operations teams.\n\nLead the technical design of projects of diverse scope, working independently and bringing designs forward for review at critical decision points.\n\nDevise solutions where precedent is limited, adapting existing approaches and exercising judgment to select the right course of action.\n\nPartner with product managers, clinical operations, and other engineering teams to turn ambiguous requirements into clear technical plans, advising senior stakeholders who may not share your technical background and adapting how you communicate to the audience.\n\nWrite and maintain automated tests and test protocols appropriate for software operating in a regulated healthcare environment.\n\nImprove the reliability and observability of the systems you own, participating in on-call rotation, incident response, and follow-up remediation.\n\nRaise engineering quality on the team through code review, pairing, and mentorship of less experienced engineers.\n\nIdentify and drive improvements to our tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and development practices.\n\nThese responsibilities summarize the role's primary responsibilities and are not an exhaustive list. They may change at the company's discretion.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Bioinformatics, or a similar technical field with 5+ years of related experience, or a Master's degree with 2+ years of related experience, or a PhD, or equivalent experience.\n\nProfessional experience designing, developing, testing, and maintaining production backend or full-stack applications.\n\nProfessional experience building and operating services on a major cloud platform such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.\n\nProficiency in at least one backend programming language such as Go, Java, Python, or C++.\n\nStrong professional written and verbal communication skills.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3947,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Diagnostic Tests & IVD","Molecular Diagnostics","Precision Medicine"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T21:53:21Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 15 · green card filings: 3","filings_12m":15,"filings_prev_12m":24,"green_card_filings_12m":3,"median_offered_wage_usd":185000,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":10}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/grail-senior-software-engineer-commercial","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/grail-senior-software-engineer-commercial.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T09:14:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10254,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3593},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3593"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgrail-senior-software-engineer-commercial"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgrail-senior-software-engineer-commercial"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgrail-senior-software-engineer-commercial"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/grail-senior-software-engineer-commercial\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgrail-senior-software-engineer-commercial"}]}
