The Position

P&C Technology Innovation & Solutions Engineer

The P&C Technology Innovation & Solutions Engineer will be a key member of the People & Culture (P&C) Engineering team within Roche Digital Technology (RDT). Operating at the intersection of public cloud infrastructure and core HR SaaS platforms, the P&C Engineering team provides the technical enablers and hands-on validation required to realize P&C strategic objectives.

As the P&C Technology Innovation & Solutions Engineer, you will act as a hands-on technical partner to Product Delivery Leads (PDLs) and work alongside Solution Architects. In this role, you will evaluate technology roadmaps, assess feature feasibility, write serverless glue code, and build cloud-native prototypes and integration adapters for our P&C platform ecosystem.

The Opportunity

In this role, you will drive hands-on technical execution, rapid prototyping, and architecture validation across our HR technology landscape. You will:

• Partner daily with Product Delivery Leads and Solution Architects to evaluate feature feasibility, latency, rate limits, and integration impacts across platforms like Workday, ServiceNow, and Cornerstone.
• Engineer lightweight, serverless cloud glue code using services like AWS Lambda and API Gateway to connect core SaaS platforms with internal cloud environments.
• Build rapid Proofs-of-Concept (PoCs) to validate integration feasibility and streamline real-world data flow across cloud ecosystems.
• Lead deep-dive technical discussions with prospective vendors, inspecting API/SDK capabilities, payload schemas, and authentication models beyond high-level product demonstrations.
• Drive technical Security Risk Assessments (SRAs) and detailed data-flow mappings for new tools and integration patterns in close coordination with Cybersecurity teams.
• Analyze existing P&C system capabilities and cloud resources to eliminate redundant middleware, optimize runtime performance, and ensure full utilization of tools.
• Test API payloads, webhooks, and modern authentication protocols in real-world cloud environments to ensure robust execution before squad deployment.
• Translate complex cloud and API performance parameters into clear technical trade-offs to help business stakeholders and product leads make informed decisions.

Who you are

We are looking for an accountable, self-driven engineer who thrives on solving technical roadblocks and inspecting cloud capabilities. To excel in this role, you bring:

• Experience: 4–6 years of hands-on experience in cloud engineering, integration engineering, or senior technical systems analysis within an enterprise setting.
• Education & Certifications: A degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, alongside active certification in a major public cloud platform (AWS certified like Solutions Architect Associate/Developer preferred, or Azure/GCP).
• Cloud Infrastructure Proficiency: Hands-on experience building and managing core serverless cloud services, including AWS Lambda, API Gateway, S3, IAM, EventBridge, CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager.
• APIs & Integration Expertise: Deep understanding of RESTful APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, JSON/XML payloads, and modern authentication protocols like OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML.
• Scripting Skills: Proficiency in modern scripting languages, such as Python or Node.js/TypeScript, for rapid PoC creation and automated data transformations.
• Security & Risk Assessment: Practical experience conducting Security Risk Assessments (SRAs), data flow modeling, payload schema validation, and technical risk reviews.
• Proactive & Collaborative Mindset: Strong self-driven curiosity to write PoC code without waiting for exhaustive specs, combined with the ability to collaborate seamlessly with cross-functional teams.
