• Take end‑to‑end responsibility for IT systems across their lifecycle, including development, releases, operation, and continuous improvement
• Contribute to IT system lead‑related activities such as release coordination, change preparation, operational readiness, and incident handling
• Act as a member of a product team, building solutions from early prototyping to fully productive and scalable services
• Contribute to architectural discussions and solution design in alignment with overall IT architecture and IT strategy
• Guide and collaborate with external developers where applicable
• Actively participate in agile delivery activities and support team coordination as a shared responsibility
• Contribute to capability development and roadmap planning in close partnership with the business Capability Owner

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related/equivalent discipline
• At least 5 years of professional experience in modern programming languages and backend technologies (e.g. Python)

• 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
