Job description

Do you share our passion for improving healthcare by developing and operating robust, innovative IT solutions that support Clinical Development?

Then join our product team within IT RDM Medicine. Together with your colleagues, you will contribute to the development and end-to-end operation of modern software solutions that address real business needs in a regulated environment.

This role is designed for a technically strong, hands-on professional who enjoys building solutions while also taking responsibility for their delivery, stability, and continuous improvement. The focus is on combining engineering work with ownership across the solution lifecycle, in close collaboration with the team and stakeholders.

You will join an international and intercultural team of highly skilled IT professionals. We are moving away from rigid role definitions and are looking for people with a multi-learning mindset who are curious, pragmatic, and comfortable contributing across technical and operational topics.

  • Experience with container-based or cloud-native solutions (e.g. Red Hat OpenShift, AWS EKS, AWS Fargate)
  • Experience in CI/CD environments and development toolchains (e.g. Jenkins, Git, Atlassian Jira, Bitbucket)
  • AWS or Azure exposure is a plus, e.g. Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform, CDK), AWS Lambda, API Gateway, storage (S3, EFS, FSx), and databases (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB)
  • Experience in IT consultancy, automation, or data science based on successfully delivered IT solutions from prototyping to productive operation at scale is a plus
  • Experience working in the pharmaceutical industry and/or regulated environments (GxP) is a plus
  • Willingness to learn beyond a single role and to grow with evolving product and organizational needs
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills in an international, interdisciplinary environment
  • Professional-level English communication skills
