Mobile Apps Development

We build world-class enterprise mobile solutions and set new standards for what this means for users. Developers work in an agile environment and leverage the latest technologies to build innovative, scalable and stable. To ensure success we prioritise teamwork, communication skills and on-going development. What we envision and build allows users to accomplish more in less time, wherever they are and whatever they are doing.

Architecture

Architecture is central to everything in IT. With each solution we build and each technology introduced, we shape the overall IT landscape to support the business and enable innovation. Architects design solutions to connect patients, physicians, and labs with our products, to develop new drugs and therapies using Molecular Information and to collaborate effectively. We use the latest technology (Cloud Computing, Big Data, Analytics, Internet of Things). Our Architects work with senior leaders and influence the direction of Business and IT.

Business Analysis & Partnering

We maintain a close partnership with all business organizations throughout the value chain. Understanding business strategy and processes is key for IT experts to help translate business problems into IT solutions. IT innovations help our business partners obtain health authority approvals for Roche drug submissions, improve safety and quality of Roche drugs, maximise yield in manufacturing and reduce lead-time to bring life-saving drugs to patients in need in 150 countries globally.

Business Intelligence

We believe the power of data is our ability to access, combine and analyze it. Enabling creation of novel insights in Research & Clinical and across a diverse, global value chain is key for our BI teams. This is achieved by focusing on developing our people and securing a broad range of new technologies. As part of this strategy we were early adopters of mobile BI, Hadoop for high volume & variety data and in-memory BI. Working in a fast paced environment is a challenge but also a great opportunity to use the latest technology and some leading companies & experts in the field of BI.

End User Services

IT User Services provides first class support to the business in many ways. From predictive analysis to proactive action to classical support and training, our highly motivated team uses advanced technologies and communication tools to put our users at the center of our daily work. We are close to users, providing consulting services and expertise so they can be efficient and productive. IT User Services offers career development, the chance to work with talented IT people globally and a dynamic atmosphere to build their knowledge with the newest technologies and Infrastructure.

Infrastructure, Engineering & Operations

IT Infrastructure, Engineering & Operations experts design, deploy and maintain advanced IT solutions to meet Roche’s needs. We deliver agile, cutting edge High Performance Compute and genomic storage capabilities to R&D units. We ensure information is available to the right people no matter where they are and on a variety of devices adopted to business needs. We understand the challenge of providing services in a regulated environment where the right to operate is of utmost importance for our patients.

IT Leadership

The values of Courage, Passion and Integrity are core to everything we do in IT. Leaders are expected to model these values, and to embrace the Leadership Commitments. To support this, we get regular feedback about how well we are performing and use this feedback in our own development planning. There are many opportunities for management development and leaders are strongly encouraged to take advantage of these. As IT plays such a crucial, enabling role, and opportunities to deploy innovative, value-adding technologies emerge with such regularity, excellence in IT leadership is essential.

Project and Portfolio Management

Portfolio Analysts create prioritized project portfolios in collaboration with Sponsors, IT Architects, their partners in IT and business colleagues. Once approved, Project Managers drive and deliver excellence in planning & execution, with planned, predictable and improving performance. They form, manage and lead matrixed teams of internal & external resources to achieve the scope of projects on time, within budget and with the required quality supported by our ever improving internal Methodology. We support the business with their demand and challenges to do now what patients need next.

Quality Assurance

Development, production, distribution and commercialisation at Roche are highly computerised and automated. We must meet the requirements for computing set by regulatory agencies around the world. IT Quality ensures the processes used by Informatics teams in the development and maintenance of computerised systems meet regulatory requirements. The systems we support contribute to the quality and control of our data.

Requirements Engineering

We consider Requirements Engineering the foundation of Software Engineering ensuring tailor made software supporting complex research processes and diagnostics workflows in laboratories. The Requirements Engineers connect stakeholders to understand and translate their needs into technical requirements applying appropriate and innovative methodologies. Clear business expertise, leadership and analytical skills are essential for driving the functional analysis. The Requirements team collaborates closely the R&D process with engineering and verification functions.

Security

IT Security protects critical intellectual property and data. Four cross-functional teams work to deliver on IT Security’s accountabilities: Security Architecture & Engineering evaluate and design IT security solutions. Security Operations implement, configure and maintain global advanced security tools. Security Governance evaluates vendors and partners, develops policies and directives, and provides consultancy and oversight for IT projects. The Monitoring & Incident Response Team pursues current and emerging IT threats, conducts forensic analysis and eradicates threats from our environment.

Software Development

Our Software Developers provide pioneering solutions for developing and maintaining IT systems all over the world. We aim for the most advanced technologies available, because the quality of our software is crucial for innovation at Roche. Together with others, we create unique applications to support clinical trials and a safe manufacturing environment for new medicines. We go to great lengths to create an efficient work environment where no artificial barriers exist and all of us can focus on making changes for the better.

Software Engineering & Design

Software Engineering is key to enable innovative products for patients. Custom software supports complex research processes and runs Diagnostics workflows in labs. We design and implement software solutions applying innovative technologies and methodologies. Our engineers create designs & specifications derived from business requirements and enterprise as well as product architecture. The teams take over end-to-end software engineering process responsibility and ensure the shippable products meet the highest industry standard.

IT Accelerate

Personalised Healthcare - Education for Group Informatics

Roche’s longstanding vision is to unlock the full potential of Personalised Healthcare for patients through the development of breakthrough medicines and leading diagnostics. In support of this, our IT employees are invited to explore this education program to better understand how technology will contribute to the evolution of Personalised Healthcare.

IT Experience Map

IT Experience Map is an online resource that helps employees create a meaningful plan for their personal development. Developed by IT employees for IT employees, it is built on the experience of colleagues and peers throughout the organization. It includes example development actions, sample employee profiles and a personal development feedback feature, empowering employees to truly own their personal development plan.

Development OpportunITies

Sometimes our employees want to try something new or different, without leaving their current position. Our Development OpportunITies portal matches employees who are keen to develop new skills with appropriate internal opportunities. During rotations and temporary assignments employees are able to learn by doing.
