Job Description

(The role can be remote; however, it requires to cover Pacific Standard Time)

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.

We are building a unique software stack to manage an ecosystem of microservices, SOAP/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, JavaScript, NodeJS along with Kubernetes, Docker, Mulesoft, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, high-performance computing clusters (HPC), and a variety of AWS services to analyze and disseminate vast volumes of genomic data.
