The Position

Always innovating, we bring together dedicated people and diverse perspectives from across our global network, empowering each other to keep breaking new ground. 

In Roche Informatics, we build on Roche's 125-year history as one of the world's largest biotech companies, globally recognized for providing transformative innovative solutions across major disease areas. We combine human capabilities with cutting-edge technological innovations to do now what our patients need next. Our commitment to our patients' needs motivates us to deliver technology that evolves the practice of medicine.

Be part of our inclusive team at Roche Informatics, where we're driven by a shared passion for technological novelties and optimal IT solutions. 


The Position:

The Edge Infrastructure product within Roche (link: http://edge.ad) consists of several teams that are working on delivering components to the overall product. As Product Owner, you will be responsible to drive that team's vision and execution towards a coherent goal. You will act as a leader, not only by bringing ideas and gathering support for future developments from the engineers and other stakeholders, but also by funneling the creativity and passion of the engineering team into a unified direction that aligns well with the needs of the overall product.

  • Act as the customer’s voice within the team. Invest to understand the needs of users of the components produced by the team. Help the engineering team by sharing these insights, e.g. during refinement sessions.

  • Collaborate with the product manager & engineers to align, clarify, visualize and communicate the team roadmap containing high-level projects for the upcoming quarters. Constantly update it to reflect current realities and status.

  • Assist with prioritizing individual tickets, whether they fall within high-level roadmap items or are independent of them. This includes addressing short-term and upcoming topics such as bug reports or maintenance tickets. Ensuring a balanced approach between feature development and managing technical debt effectively.

  • Talk with stakeholders (within & external to the team) to figure out priorities of tasks and visualize the outcome appropriately with the help of sprints & the backlog. It is your responsibility to ensure that everybody in the team is able to contribute to the best of their abilities with the maximum impact to the product.

  • Plan and escalate. Plan timelines of upcoming work, according to the team’s capacity, skills and absences. Regularly update the plan against the “actuals”, and escalate early in case of foreseeable delays.

  • Participate in the release activities to comply with Roche quality processes and regulations, ensuring that deliverables are properly tested, documented and ready in time to be included with product releases.


Who you are:

The product you will be working on is a highly technical software & infrastructure project, mainly targeting developers. As such, you will be required to obtain a good technical understanding of the tools & technologies involved - and software development processes in general:

  • 5-7 + years of work experience as a software, infrastructure or DevOps engineer.

  • Minimum Bachelors degree (Engineer degree preferred)

  • You bring specific experience in the area of cloud-native technologies (public cloud providers like AWS, deployment and orchestration tools like Docker & Kubernetes) or modern software stacks (API and frontend development)

  • 2+ years experience in content leadership roles or alike (e.g. product owner)

  • Experience (clearly visible in the CV or cover letter) of how you have been taking on related tasks in previous roles, even though not officially being responsible

  • You demonstrated team leadership and customer focus in one of your previous roles

  • You enjoy organizing teams and empowering them to produce output bigger than the sum of individuals
