As a Software Engineer on the Solutions Engineering team within the Data and Digital Catalyst (DDC) organization, you will design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and applications that enable the capture, transformation, and sharing of scientific data across Roche’s Research and Early Development (R&D) landscape. Your work will directly support the development of life‑changing treatments by creating a modern, data‑centric ecosystem that powers AI/ML, search, and analytics solutions.

• Architect, develop, and deploy robust, reproducible, and scalable data pipelines and APIs across cloud environments.
• Collaborate with Data Engineers, Product Leaders, and scientific partners to translate complex data challenges into effective technology solutions.
• Apply cloud‑first, API‑first, microservices, and event‑driven design patterns to improve data workflows and system reliability.
• Integrate diverse data sets to support AI/ML models, natural language search, and visualization tools.
• Advocate for best practices in open‑source technologies, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), testing, observability, and documentation.

• Continuously learn and contribute to the evolution of Roche’s Data Ecosystem to maintain technical excellence and industry competitiveness.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent experience, with a minimum of 2+ years of software engineering experience.
• Proficiency in full‑stack development, including front‑end frameworks (e.g., React, Vue) and back‑end languages (e.g., Python, Java).
• Experience with relational and non‑relational databases, data analytics workflows (SQL/No
  
  SQL, ETL/ELT), and API design (REST, Graph
  
  QL).
• Strong knowledge of software development life‑cycle practices, version control, testing, CI/CD pipelines, and observability.
• Hands‑on experience building cloud‑native applications, preferably in AWS or an equivalent public cloud platform.
• Excellent oral and written communication, and the ability to think strategically to guide long‑term technical decisions.
• Demonstrated ownership of system design from requirements to production.
• Preferred: experience in the pharmaceutical or life‑sciences industry, agile development environments, and use of agentic coding tools for maintainable code.
