The Position
At Roche you can show up as yourself, embraced for the unique qualities you bring. Our culture encourages personal expression, open dialogue, and genuine connections, where you are valued, accepted and respected for who you are, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.
Roche Digital Technology (RDT) is where innovation meets purpose. As a global team at the heart of Roche, we are a community of business-minded technologists committed to help shape tomorrow’s digital future of healthcare. Our mission is to power Roche through cutting-edge digital technologies, harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence, data, and scalable tech innovations. Driven by purpose and passion, we’re building a future where digital is a core strength across all of Roche, enabling smarter ways of working, unlocking human potential, and driving breakthroughs that truly matter for millions of patients around the world.
This role is based in Roche's AI Function, where we build scalable platforms, tools, and GenAI capabilities to turn enterprise ideas into real-world healthcare products fast. Operating with an ambitious, high-ownership team culture, you will work on the ground floor of emerging agentic AI systems that reason, plan, and execute complex workflows under human oversight. Joining us gives you a rare opportunity to directly shape how next-generation AI is built, evaluated, and governed at enterprise scale to impact millions of patients globally.
The Opportunity
- Design, build, and deploy production-ready AI/ML solutions and agentic workflows, taking models from initial prototype to robust, monitored enterprise capabilities.
- Turn complex, ambiguous business problems into practical modeling approaches, selecting the optimal tool (classical ML, fine-tuned models, RAG, or agentic architectures) rather than relying on standard LLMs by default.
- Establish rigorous evaluation frameworks, golden datasets, and testing harnesses to offline- and online-evaluate GenAI/LLM outputs for safety, reliability, hallucination drift, and performance.
- Build MLOps/LLMOps pipelines for continuous integration, deployment, and real-time observability, while managing infrastructure costs, token usage, and vendor API integrations.
- Embed Roche’s AI governance, security, and compliance guardrails directly into development pipelines, ensuring fairness, privacy, and explainability from day one.
- Partner closely with product owners, cross-functional engineers, and business leaders to translate technical trade-offs and surface data-driven insights on AI adoption, impact, and value.
