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.

The Position

Who We Are

The Enterprise Architecture Foundations team acts as the backbone of the architecture function at Roche. We focus on community engagement, modern ways of working, and capability enablement. As Roche Digital Technology (RDT) shifts to a "Federated by Design" model, our success relies entirely on transitioning from static architecture documents to dynamic, data-driven insights.

We connect and empower architects across our global, federated organization to design sustainable technology solutions using shared principles and active communities. To achieve our 2026 strategic goals, we need a visionary architect to build a resilient, fully integrated toolchain ecosystem that drives data-driven portfolio management and landscape consolidation.

The Role

What You Will Do

• As the Solution Architect for the Integrated Toolchain, you will serve as the principal technical mind behind our core corporate platforms: Archi
• MEDES (SAP Lean
• IX), Archi
• Sense (our custom AI Co-Pilot), and ITONICS (Innovation Management). You will bridge the gap between architectural data and strategic execution.

Your primary responsibilities will include

• Drive EAM Tooling Excellence: Serve as the technical owner for ArchiMEDES (SAP LeanIX). You will configure core data models and drive advanced automated integrations with ServiceNow and cloud discovery tools to deliver a real-time, comprehensive view of our IT landscape.
• Advance AI-Driven Architecture: Lead the technical scaling of ArchiSense, maturing it from a proof-of-concept into a production-grade AI Co-Pilot. You will build custom AI agents to automate queries, execute tasks, and streamline technology standard navigation.
• Champion Data Democratization: Design, extract, and publish source-system-oriented data products directly into the Roche DataOne (Snowflake) environment and Data Marketplace (Collibra) to enable intuitive, self-service data consumption for downstream analytics.
• Lead Technology Foresight Integration: Maintain technical ownership and oversee the integration of the ITONICS platform to effectively map external market trends and emerging technology phases.
• Enable Data-Driven Portfolio Management: Architect a seamless toolchain that bridges corporate strategy and engineering execution, providing clear, transparent insights into dependencies, technical debt, and redundancies for senior leadership.
• Embed "Decisions Over Documents" Practices: Partner with Architecture Practice Leads to embed practical governance guardrails directly into the tooling ecosystem, reducing administrative friction for engineering teams.

Who You Are

Education & Experience

• You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or IT.
• You bring 5-7+ years of applied experience in solution architecture, integration engineering, or platform development within complex, matrixed global organizations.

Technical Skills & Expertise

• Python for Data & AI: Proficient in Python for developing data extraction pipelines and orchestrating custom AI workflows (equivalent open-source or advanced project experience is highly valued).
• Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM): Hands-on experience configuring and adapting core data models within EAM platforms, specifically SAP LeanIX.
• Modern AI & Emerging Tech: Practical familiarity with Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt engineering, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures. Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers or agentic tool-calling is a major plus.
• Integration & API Architecture: Advanced understanding of API-driven integrations to connect disparate enterprise systems (e.g., ServiceNow, cloud infrastructure) into automated pipelines.
• Data Modeling & Cloud Platforms: Ability to design unified data models and publish high-quality data products into cloud environments like Snowflake for executive-level reporting.

Leadership & Mindset

• Pragmatic Problem Solver: You prioritize practical business value, outcome-driven solutions, and platform reuse over rigid process adherence.
• Cross-Functional Collaborator: You thrive on collective problem-solving and excel at aligning diverse global stakeholders and vendors around shared data standards.
• Enterprise Mindset: Committed to a "One Roche" philosophy, you actively work to bridge organizational gaps and foster an inclusive, psychologically safe, and high-performing culture.

Why Join Us?This is an opportunity to completely redefine how enterprise architecture operates at a global scale. Instead of maintaining the status quo, you will build an automated, integrated engine that directly influences executive decision-making and empowers thousands of engineering and architecture colleagues worldwide.
