Die Position
As a User Enablement Engineer within the Accelerated Compute Engineering (ACE) team, you will be responsible for overseeing the deployment, optimization, and day-to-day operation of user-facing software, application frameworks, and research environments across our High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI Factory platforms. Your mission is to maximize the productivity of Roche’s scientific community by providing frictionless access to cutting-edge computational tools.
With the introduction of our industry-leading NVIDIA AI Factory infrastructure, you will play a pivotal role in productizing and supporting advanced software suites like NVIDIA AI Enterprise. By ensuring that complex AI/ML frameworks, large language model (LLM) tools, and specialized simulation environments are perfectly tuned for our clusters, you will directly accelerate the time-to-value for researchers training complex AI models and executing large-scale computational science workloads.
Description of the area
Hosting and Infrastructure (HI) provides mission-critical on-premise infrastructure, cloud hosting, connectivity, and technology products that enable all functions at every Roche site to develop, innovate, connect, and deliver compliant digital products across the Roche Enterprise.

Job Responsibilities
User-Facing Platform& Environment Management
- Deploy, support, and optimize user-facing environment portals and platforms, including Roche ROCs and SCOOP environments for HPC.
- Own the lifecycle and availability of standard software stacks, modules, and containerized application environments.
- Collaborate closely with infrastructure engineers to ensure user-facing portals interface seamlessly with core scheduling and data transfer layers.
AI Factory& Software Stack Productization
- Architect and manage the deployment of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite, ensuring proper integration and license optimization.
- Provide and support cutting-edge AI pipelines and development platforms, including NVIDIA NeMo for generative AI/LLMs and NVIDIA Omniverse for advanced industrial simulations and digital twins.
- Build, benchmark, and maintain highly optimized container builds for standard AI/ML Frameworks (such as PyTorch and TensorFlow), incorporating deep learning inference servers like Dynamo-Triton to maximize GPU utilization.
Scientific Consultation& Technical Enablement
- In partnership with the Value Engineering and Outcomes team, act as the technical entry point and consultant for research teams, assisting them in porting their code, algorithms, and models onto the ACE platforms.
- Develop, curate, and maintain developer documentation, example code repositories, and user guides to enable self-service onboarding.
- Diagnose and resolve complex software-layer bottlenecks, dependency conflicts, and compilation issues spanning scientific software packages, Python virtual environments, and GPU-accelerated libraries (e.g., CUDA, cuDNN).
Qualifications
Education/Experience:
- Bachelor’s or an advanced degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Chemistry, or a similar technical discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in an engineering role focused on scientific software compilation, user enablement, or DevOps for advanced research compute environments.
- Deep proficiency navigating and managing user applications within Enterprise Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu) multi-tenant systems.
