Description
We are seeking a visionary and execution-focused Director of Software Engineering to lead our Data Platform engineering organization. In this role, you will drive the technical strategy, architecture, and delivery of our next-generation, cloud-native data platform.
The ideal candidate brings over 15 years of software engineering experience, combining deep technical expertise in big data, cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven workflows (including RAG and LLM applications) with a proven track record of scaling engineering teams (10+ headcount). You will collaborate closely with cross-functional executives to translate complex domain requirements into scalable, secure, and compliant production-grade software.
This 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 but candidates must be flexible based on the needs of the business.
