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.\nThe Position\nDescription of the area\nThe Network & Perimeter Securityproduct makes Roche’s connectivity accessible and secure through actionable, policy-driven processes. The capabilities we provide enable Roche to identify, inspect, and mitigate network-based risks, manage regulatory compliance, and oversee egress/ingress traffic across all layers. Our solutions are primarily instantiated through leading-edge security platforms and automated orchestration. We work closely with Cloud, Infrastructure, and Incident Response teams to provide enterprise visibility into Roche’s network security posture.\nYou’ll be working within the Network Security Productarea. This area is accountable for the end-to-end delivery of solutions-designing, building, and maintaining the technologies that protect Roche networks and the Internet, whether on-prem or cloud-based. This includes continuous improvement of capabilities like Internet Security Stack, DDoS Protection, Site-to-Site Connectivity (VPN), Network Access Control and Deep Packet Inspectionto stay ahead of an ever-evolving threat landscape.\nJob description\nAs a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer (Edge Defense), you will play a pivotal role in the end-to-end lifecycle of our perimeter and cloud security products. Your primary focus will be the global engineering, adoption, and optimization of our Edge security stack, including Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), DDoS mitigation, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). You are a technical \"implementer\" responsible for designing robust, high-availability architectures that protect our global network from external threats while enabling secure, seamless access to multi-cloud environments. By leveraging an \"Automation-First\" mindset, you will transform traditional perimeter controls into scalable, code-driven security services, ensuring Roche’s digital boundaries remain resilient in an evolving threat landscape.\nJob responsibilities\n1.
