Overview In this role you will architect end-to-end computational drug discovery systems, turning modular ML components into scalable, reproducible workflows. You will define SOPs for model integration and data pipelines, and partner with platform teams to deploy workflows across gRED and pRED. You will translate research models into production-ready components with clear interfaces and benchmarks, driving adoption and trust. This is a chance to shape automated, cross-functional pipelines at Roche, accelerating medicines development.
