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.

At Roche, we offer a hybrid work model that combines flexibility with in-person collaboration. For now, we require our employees to be in our offices on average two days per week. The specific office days may vary depending on business needs, such as workshops, conferences, town halls, team meetings, and other collaborative events.

We are looking for an experienced AWS Cloud Engineer to design, build, and evolve secure, scalable, and automated cloud solutions on AWS.

You will work as part of a team of Cloud Engineers, taking ownership of solutions from design through implementation and operation. This is a hands-on engineering role: we are looking for someone who enjoys staying close to the technology, solving complex technical challenges, and turning architectural concepts into reliable production solutions.

The role has a strong focus on Amazon EKS, AWS Bedrock, Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD, as well as cloud networking and security.

The opportunity:

• Design and implement end-to-end AWS solutions, translating business and technical requirements into secure, scalable, resilient, and maintainable architectures.

• Design, build, and operate Amazon EKS environments and Kubernetes-based workloads, including cluster architecture, workload deployment, networking, security, observability, and lifecycle management.

• Design and implement solutions leveraging AWS Bedrock and related AWS services for generative AI workloads, with particular attention to secure integration, access control, networking, scalability, and operational readiness.

• Build cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK, applying Infrastructure as Code principles to create reusable, maintainable, and automated infrastructure components.

• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments using GitLab CI/CD and/or GitHub Actions.

• Design and implement AWS networking architectures, including VPCs, subnets, routing, private connectivity, DNS, load balancing, ingress/egress patterns, and integration across cloud environments.

• Embed security by design across cloud solutions, including IAM, least-privilege access, secrets and key management, network security, encryption, and security controls.

• Implement robust logging, monitoring, alerting, and observability to ensure production environments are transparent, reliable, and supportable.

• Build and integrate solutions using additional AWS services such as Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch, S3, API Gateway, and other services as appropriate.

• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, security, Kubernetes, and deployment issues across the technology stack.

• Contribute to engineering standards, reusable patterns, automation, technical documentation, and cloud best practices.

• Collaborate closely with other Cloud Engineers, application teams, architects, security specialists, and other stakeholders.

• Remain hands-on and close to the technology, continuously evaluating new AWS capabilities and improving existing platforms and engineering practices.

Who you are:

You are an engineer who combines strong architectural thinking with hands-on implementation skills. You are comfortable designing an end-to-end solution, but equally comfortable opening an IDE, writing CDK code, configuring an EKS workload, building a deployment pipeline, or troubleshooting a networking issue.

You enjoy working collaboratively within a team of Cloud Engineers, sharing knowledge an
