GRAIL is seeking a Build Engineer to join our DevOps / Platform Engineering organization. Our team builds and operates the infrastructure, tooling, and developer platforms that engineering and research teams rely on to move quickly and safely, from local development environments through builds, tests, CI/CD, and release.

In this role, you will focus on developer experience: reducing friction in day-to-day engineering workflows and making complex, multi-language systems easier to build, test, and maintain. You will own and improve build-system workflows in our Bazel-based monorepo, raise CI reliability and performance, and build internal tooling and self-service automation used across engineering and research. This is a high-leverage role with broad visibility, your work directly accelerates teams working on early cancer detection.

This role is based in Sunnyvale, California. We are moving to our new headquarters in September so you may visit our current Menlo Park, CA location for interviews if they occur prior to the move. This role 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.
