Your Role: Redefine Excellence in Secure Software Engineering
As a Software Engineer within Roche's Certman PKI team, you will become a driving force behind the design, development, and evolution of our mission-critical enterprise trust and identity software. Working closely with latest technology trends, you will build the software layer that manages digital certificate lifecycles, cryptographic keys, and secure authentication. Every feature you code, every system you architect, and every application you optimize will contribute directly to safeguarding the technology that enhances people’s lives worldwide.
A Key Element of Your Contribution: As an experience C# engineer, you will design and deliver high-performance, resilient software services that power Roche's global operations. This role demands deep expertise across the full .NET stack - from advanced memory management and asynchronous programming patterns to designing secure, scalable backend systems and orchestrating containerized microservices across AWS and Kubernetes at enterprise scale. You'll apply asynchronous programming practices and design excellence to build high-throughput, low-latency APIs that meet the reliability and compliance requirements of medical devices serving patients worldwide. Your commitment to software engineering excellence, clean code principles, and robust design patterns will be fundamental to delivering seamless and secure experiences that uphold Roche's standards of quality and trust.
What You’ll Do:
As a Software Engineer in the Certman PKI team, you will play a critical role in designing, building, and evolving our certificate issuance API using ASP.NET Core (C#). You will own the end-to-end quality of the service.
You will design and implement well-versioned REST APIs, automate cryptographic and certificate lifecycle workflows, and diagnose and resolve complex performance, concurrency, or architectural bottlenecks using profiling and observability tooling.
You will deploy and operate our services natively on AWS and AliCloud, working hands-on with EKS/Kubernetes, KMS for key operations, EC2, IAM, and other core AWS building blocks. You will own and continuously improve our CI/CD pipelines on GitLab and GitHub Actions - building reproducible, secure, and fully automated build, test, scan, and deploy workflows for containerized .NET services.
This role involves writing clean, testable, well-covered code, conducting meaningful peer code reviews, and applying secure-by-default best practices across the PKI landscape. You will write technical software documentation, design decisions, and operational runbooks to drive ongoing engineering excellence.
You’ll also contribute to building a strong, collaborative, and agile engineering culture.
Your Opportunity to Shine:
This role is about taking ownership and leading the charge toward transformational software architecture, precision engineering, and cutting-edge cloud integration. Show your skills, grow your career, and make a measurable impact on enterprise security - all alongside a team that has your back.
Why Choose This Role?
At Roche, you're more than just an employee - you're part of a mission-driven global team that celebrates diversity, creativity, and modern engineering through inclusion and innovation. Beyond that foundation, you'll find significant growth opportunities to expand your technical horizons in both advanced enterprise security and cloud-native software engineering, sharpen your architectural skills, and explore exciting, global challenges at the intersection of IT and life sciences. Finally, you'll work in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same, making it an ideal opportunity if you thrive on solving complex, real-world software and automation problems.
