Guardant Health

We were founded in 2012 as a precision medicine company dedicated to using data to improve patient care and fight cancer. We offer blood and tissue tests, real-world data, and AI analytics. These help us understand diseases and are used at every stage of cancer care: for early screening, monitoring for recurrence in early-stage cancer, and selecting treatments for patients with advanced cancer.

We focus on liquid biopsy, which uses blood-based testing. To date, over 500,000 blood tests have been performed by 12,000 doctors. We secured the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved blood tests for comprehensive genomic testing and primary screening for colorectal cancer. Our blood-based tests also provide faster results than traditional tissue methods.

Our solutions help physicians, patients, and BioPharma partners. Our corporate headquarters are at 3100 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, CA 94304, with a laboratory at 505 Penobscot Drive, Redwood City, CA 94063.

Our mission is to conquer cancer with data. We are dedicated to helping patients at all stages of cancer live longer, healthier lives through blood tests and the insights they provide. Our purpose is to empower the healthcare community to eradicate cancer and preserve every human life.

Our operations are guided by these core values:

• Put the Patient First: We listen, empathize, advocate for well-being, and improve the patient experience.
• Blaze a Trail: We are solution-oriented, fearless, innovative, challenge assumptions, and dare to take risks.
• Be Stronger Together: We care for each other, show respect, assume positive intent, challenge constructively, recognize contributions, and hold ourselves accountable.
• Make Every Moment Matter: We move fast, are decisive, seek simplicity, coordinate efforts, deliver with excellence, and prioritize effectively.

We have between 1,001 and 5,000 employees. We prioritize the patient and look for diverse, passionate, and curious individuals. We strive for an inclusive and supportive culture where differences are valued, and everyone feels included and empowered.

Our work environment supports growth, learning, creativity, and collaboration. Employees come from various backgrounds and contribute to an open office culture. We operate at the intersection of technology and biology. Our teams include bioinformatics, engineering, medical affairs, commercial, and IT roles. Transparency is a key part of our culture.

We offer a hybrid work model that includes defined in-person collaboration days and work-from-home time. For employees living within 50 miles of a Guardant facility, onsite days are typically Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. This schedule encourages collaboration while also allowing for focused individual work and improved work-life balance.

Our benefits include competitive compensation, generous healthcare coverage, and wellness programs. We also provide reasonable accommodations in our hiring processes for candidates with disabilities or other conditions.
