What It's Like to Work at GRAIL

When I joined GRAIL over 8 years ago as a bioinformatician, I was driven by the possibility of changing how we detect cancer. I’m proud to work alongside incredibly smart and dedicated people who are revolutionizing the cancer space, and it’s inspiring to now see our first of its kind multi cancer early detection test reaching patients

As a data scientist, I'm excited about the opportunity to impact the cancer journey with our data sets. I love working with smart and driven colleagues on insights from clinical and genomics data sets. I am honored to be a part of this mission.

People grow their skills both by learning how to rapidly build scalable software systems, but also by partnering with scientists and other domain experts to better understand, model, and envision the systems we will need. We enable and empower our engineers to lead this process and grow with our systems as they make the future of GRAIL a reality.

GRAIL has a unique opportunity to scale our operations to add value with our early detection test. Our automation team works on the full spectrum of projects from low-level instrument investigations to overall architectures of processing facilities. I'm excited by projects that push the boundaries of lab automation, and that's what GRAIL is doing.

The biological problem we're trying to solve is a complex machine learning problem with human lives at stake. From a software engineering point of view, taking massive data, organizing it, building tools to mine it, and deliver results in a scalable, secure, and clinically compliant manner are areas of innovation. This, for me, is my dream job!
