Description
The Forward Deployed Engineer - Software Development Engineer – Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an experienced software engineer responsible for designing, developing, testing, deploying, and supporting AI-enabled software applications, machine learning solutions, and enterprise software platforms. Working under the guidance of senior technical leaders, this role contributes to the development of scalable, secure, and maintainable AI solutions that support GRAIL's scientific, clinical, laboratory, commercial, and enterprise initiatives.
The Forward Deployed Engineer - Software Development Engineer partners with Software Engineering, Data Science, Product Management, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Development, Laboratory Operations, Finance, Legal, People, and other cross-functional teams to develop innovative AI-powered solutions while ensuring software quality, operational reliability, and compliance with applicable standards. This role is expected to demonstrate technical ownership within assigned areas while continuing to develop expertise in AI engineering, software architecture, and cloud-native technologies.
This role is based in Menlo Park, California, and will move to Sunnyvale, California in Fall 2026. 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 Menlo Park campus, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the key days where we encourage on-site presence to engage in events and on-site activities. We may also consider candidates in Durham NC but the bay area is preferred.
Please note, we have two internal roles open
