The Position About the Role At Roche Digital Technology, we are advancing the boundaries of Applied AI. As part of our strategic initiatives, we are enabling high-value AI (with a strong focus on Generative AI) through fit-for-purpose platforms, services and applications. The Applied AI Use Case Engineering & Operations Team is tasked with building innovative AI applications, genAI agents and agentic foundations. In the 2026 tech landscape, the lines between traditional disciplines have blurred. We operate in small agile teams (e.g., ~9 members) powered by advanced coding agents (like Claude Code) to develop and ship solutions faster than ever before. We are looking for a highly skilled, deeply hands-on AI Software Architect to design and help implement end-to-end GenAI and non-Gen AI applications, with a particular focus on agentic systems. You will not simply be drawing diagrams; you will be expected to remain deeply entrenched in the code, acting as a full-stack technical anchor whose workload for rigorous code review and architecture enforcement is critical to our high-velocity teams. Core Tech Stack & Scope This role will involve working deeply with multimodal foundation models, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, advanced agentic workflows, vector, graph and traditional databases, APIs, MCPs, A2A, MLOps subsystems, new emerging technologies and other solution components. You will utilize cloud services (AWS and multicloud) to develop scalable and robust AI solutions. Beyond AI components, the architect must ensure that the entire system's software ecosystem - from frontend and backend services to data pipelines, integrations, authentication, observability, and infrastructure - is well-designed, scalable, and maintainable.
