Join Roche, where every voice matters.

As an Infrastructure Provisioning and Management Engineer within the Accelerated Compute Engineering (ACE) team, you will be responsible for overseeing and advancing our core infrastructure management and provisioning tech stack. This role has a strong focus on driving configuration-as-code, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and modern automated provisioning best practices across our high-performance compute (HPC) and industry-leading AI Factory.

You will own the lifecycle, deployment, and optimization of bare-metal and virtualized compute environments that power Roche's advanced computing initiatives. By treating infrastructure strictly as code and eliminating manual configurations, you will ensure our advanced clusters are highly reproducible, securely patched, and rapidly scalable to meet the evolving demands of computational science and large-scale AI workloads.

Hosting and Infrastructure (HI) provides mission-critical on-premise infrastructure, cloud hosting, connectivity, and technology products that enable all functions at every Roche site to develop, innovate, connect, and deliver compliant digital products across the Roche Enterprise.

The Value Streams - Accelerated Compute Engineering (ACE) Team is focused on driving both customer success and platform success by acting as a center of excellence and delivery for the High Performance Compute and AI Infrastructure supporting AI and HPC use cases across Roche. This team facilitates seamless onboarding and adoption for business vertical customers needing accelerated compute—helping those infrastructure consumers with needs optimized for high availability, seamless data transfer, flexibility, speed, and the rapidly changing needs of AI—helping achieve rapid time-to-value.

Automated Provisioning & Cluster Orchestration
