GRAIL is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for the Data Team. This team designs, builds, and operates the software systems that manage GRAIL’s end-to-end data lifecycle, from sample ingestion through downstream analysis, while meeting rigorous clinical, regulatory, and privacy standards.

In this role, you will take technical ownership of systems that produce trusted, analysis-ready datasets for use across GRAIL’s research and clinical programs.

You will normally be working a hybrid of remote and office based, with no less than 3 days in the office (Mon, Wed and an additional day in office); when you are working out of our London office, you will be based at 210 Euston Road, London, NW1 2DA, in line with company needs.
