The Position
IT Infrastructure Engineer - RDT Hosting and Infrastructure (HI)
At Roche, we are advancing science to ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need. Our Scientific Computing and Data Infrastructure team delivers cutting-edge computing environments and shared data services across global locations. We incubate, develop, and support next-generation solutions that empower our Research & Development (R&D) organizations to accelerate discovery.
In this role, you will embed directly within cross-functional product teams to deliver best-in-class scientific computing platforms in close partnership with our scientists and external service providers, bridging modern DevOps practices with life-saving research.
What You’ll Do:
Support day-to-day operations and maintenance across our High Performance Storage (HPS) platforms and parallel file systems, helping ensure system availability, monitor performance and storage efficiency, and assist with structured change management.
Apply a DevOps mindset to platform administration by utilizing automation tools, basic infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD pipelines to build, update, and maintain reliable research environments alongside senior engineers.
Partner closely with internal customers and key stakeholders across the entire service lifecycle - from initial inception and architecture design through deployment, steady-state operation, and iterative refinement.
Collaborate with researchers to analyze and optimize scientific workflows and batch job submission patterns to maximize cluster utilization and throughput.
Proactively identify, propose, and implement enhancements across technical systems, operational workflows, and team collaboration frameworks.
Who You Are:
1–3 years of experience, ideally within a multinational or fast-paced setting (healthcare or life sciences experience is a plus).
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or a related field.
Foundational knowledge of distributed storage and parallel file systems (e.g., GPFS, Lustre, BeeGFS).
Working knowledge of Linux distributions (RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, or Ubuntu) and core command-line troubleshooting.
Practical ability to write Bash scripts and basic Python for system automation; routine experience using Git.
Hands-on exposure to at least one configuration or automation tool (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) and basic CI/CD concepts.
Familiarity with HPC environments, batch job execution, or workload schedulers (e.g., Slurm, LSF).
English Fluency.
Nice to have:
Experience with monitoring systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Nagios).

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
