We develop innovative digital and data-driven solutions that empower clinicians and patients across the continuum of cancer care. Our software and platform engineering teams are foundational to enabling seamless integration of our genomic testing with healthcare providers, hospital systems, and laboratory partners around the country.

About the Role

We are seeking a Manager, Software Engineering to lead a highly collaborative team focused on clinical data integrations, EMR connectivity, and partnerships with hospital networks and reference labs. This is a Palo Alto–based leadership role that combines technical depth, team management, and stakeholder engagement—both internal and external.

You’ll be responsible for building and scaling cloud-native integration platforms, primarily using Java, MuleSoft, and AWS, to ensure Guardant’s digital infrastructure enables seamless interoperability with Epic, OncoEMR, hospital systems, and third-party labs. This role is critical to driving clinical adoption, operational efficiency, and data reliability across Guardant’s enterprise offerings.

Architecture & Execution

  • Architect and scale MuleSoft-based integration flows and microservices that manage clinical and lab data pipelines.

  • Ensure solutions are cloud-native, deployed on AWS/Kubernetes, and align with Guardant’s data security, compliance, and observability standards.

  • Drive cross-functional initiatives by collaborating with Product, Clinical, Commercial, and Compliance teams.

External Stakeholder Engagement

  • Serve as a technical point of contact for reference labs, hospital networks, and third-party integration partners.

  • Work closely with external IT and data teams to define interface requirements, manage onboarding, and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

  • Represent the engineering organization in strategic partner discussions, ensuring technical feasibility and long-term scalability.

Operational & Engineering Excellence

  • Champion engineering best practices including CI/CD, test automation, observability, and resiliency.

  • Monitor integration KPIs and operational metrics to ensure ongoing reliability and performance of partner-facing systems.

  • Collaborate with peer leaders across Palo Alto and India to ensure delivery alignment and team health.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in a people management role, ideally leading backend or integration-focused teams.

  • Deep experience with Java (Spring Boot) and MuleSoft in a production environment.

  • Proven success with cloud-native development on AWS and Kubernetes.

  • Experience delivering and maintaining integrations with EMRs (Epic, OncoEMR), hospital systems, or labs.

  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to engage with external technical partners and cross-functional internal teams.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex stakeholder needs, prioritize work across multiple initiatives, and deliver in a regulated environment.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in Life Sciences, Diagnostics, or Healthcare IT.

  • Familiarity with HL7, FHIR, and other healthcare interoperability standards.

  • Experience working with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).

  • Background in regulated environments including HIPAA, CAP/CLIA, or FDA guidelines.

Why Join Us?

At Guardant Health, your work enables faster and more effective cancer care.
