As a Senior Data Engineer on the Operational Technology team, you will own the data platform that connects GRAIL's lab instruments, automation systems, and operational platforms to a trusted, well modeled data foundation. You will architect and lead the development of complex, business-critical ingestion and transformation pipelines end to end, set the standards and patterns the broader team builds on, and act as a technical point of contact across systems engineering, lab operations, data science, and automation engineering. You will work independently on problems of diverse scope, devising solutions where precedent is limited, and you will mentor less experienced engineers while raising the bar on reliability, data quality, and engineering practice. This is a hands-on senior role for a fully qualified data engineer who is ready to take ownership of critical infrastructure in a fast paced, regulated environment. Expect to work alongside a talented and highly motivated team that moves quickly.
This role is based on-site in RTP, North Carolina, Monday through Friday. The position participates in an on-call rotation and may occasionally require weekend or holiday support for production incidents, maintenance, or critical deployments.
The expected, full-time, annual base pay scale for this position is $118K - $157K. Actual base pay will consider skills, experience, and location.
This role may be eligible for other forms of compensation, including an annual bonus and/or incentives, subject to the terms of the applicable plans and Company discretion. This range reflects a good-faith estimate of the range that the Company reasonably expects to pay for the position upon hire; the actual compensation offered may vary depending on factors such as the candidate’s qualifications. Employees in this role are also eligible for GRAIL’s comprehensive and competitive benefits package, offered in accordance with our applicable plans and policies. This package currently includes flexible time-off or vacation; a 401(k) retirement plan with employer match; medical, dental, and vision coverage; and carefully selected mindfulness programs.
