Company Description

Guardant Health is a leading precision oncology company focused on helping conquer cancer globally through use of its proprietary blood tests, vast data sets and advanced analytics. The Guardant Health Oncology Platform leverages capabilities to drive commercial adoption, improve patient clinical outcomes and lower healthcare costs across all stages of the cancer care continuum. Guardant Health has launched liquid biopsy-based Guardant360®, Guardant360 CDx and GuardantOMNI® tests for advanced stage cancer patients. These tests fuel development of its LUNAR program, which aims to address the needs of early stage cancer patients with neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment selection, cancer survivors with surveillance, asymptomatic individuals eligible for cancer screening and individuals at a higher risk for developing cancer with early detection.

Job Description

At Guardant Health our mission is to conquer cancer with data; as such software sits at the core of everything we do. While we’re best known for our molecular diagnostics, which unlock the genomic signatures of cancer, these tests are just the first step in the equation. Turning this genomic data into actionable insights shared with thousands of patients, physicians, and researchers in a scalable, reliable, and secure fashion is a software product challenge

We are building a unique software stack to manage an ecosystem of microservices, RESTful APIs, and data integrations with internal and external systems to deliver useful and elegant user experiences in the extraordinarily complex oncology diagnostic and therapeutic landscape. We connect patients with clinical trials, help clinicians order our test and receive our clinical reports, and deliver valuable genomic datasets to researchers to help uncover important insights into treatment paradigms and drug discovery. Our technology stack reflects our views of using the best tools for the job, employing Java, Python, Ruby along with Kubernetes, Docker, Mulesoft, MySQL, MongoDB, high-performance computing clusters (HPC), and a variety of AWS services to analyze and disseminate vast volumes of genomic data

 

About the Role:

  • Deep understanding of the software development life cycle and zero downtime release management. Experience with agile based iterative development and knowledge of software engineering best practices
  • Influence the development of solutions that impact strategic projects/program goals and business outcomes
  • Resolve highly complex problems using a significant application of technical knowledge, conceptualization, reasoning and interpretation
  • Communicate effectively to help bridge stakeholder and development requirements
  • Lead the design, implementation of our public Cloud infrastructure and large scale Kubernetes clusters including CI/CD, provisioning, sizing, and Infrastructure as code
  • Building a release pipeline to enable fast, but safe delivery of critical business software to Production
  • Driving best practices in cost optimization, security, monitoring, alerting, operations excellence, performance efficiency and reliability in underlying systems
  • Scale systems sustainably through automation and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity
  • Practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems
  • Be part of an on-call rotation to support production systems and post-deployment monitoring
  • Lead and mentor junior engineers on the team
