Job description
Online interview
At Roche, over 90,000 people across 150 countries are pushing back the frontiers of healthcare. Working together, we’ve become one of the world’s leading research-focused healthcare groups. Our success is built on innovation, curiosity and diversity.
Roche's Pharma Research and Early Development Informatics team is the bridge between digital technology and science. We help drive medical innovation and are integral to the realization of truly Personalized Healthcare and the development of creative treatments for our patients.
Digital tools, such as smartphones or wearables, can now continually measure and collect vital health information – or “Digital Biomarkers” – from patients. Digital Biomarkers are changing how future medicines will be developed and could lead to more personalized use of new medications that will transform the lives of patients. Advances in wearable devices, such as phones, watches, textiles or delivery devices, which track a patient’s vital signs and monitor for symptoms, all have the potential to vastly accelerate clinical development.
Digital biomarker studies are enabled by complex data collection and processing ecosystems comprising mobile applications, wearables, sensors, data lakes, data processing pipelines, analytics platforms, databases, device lifecycle management solutions etc. Currently, the use of digital biomarkers across clinical development programs is expanding significantly – generating terabytes of sensor/tracking data from dozens of studies and 10’000s of patients across global studies.
We are looking for an experienced Python Software Engineer to further develop the Remote Patient Monitoring Data Analysis software solutions that help data scientists analyze the data from digital devices handed out in clinical studies. The successful candidate will establish processes and implementations to enable and facilitate the mining of digital biomarkers out of the aforementioned data. In addition, the candidate will help to ascertain the quality of data and documentation.
Tasks & Responsibilities:
- Develop the backend/ops software tools used in cutting-edge data science of Digital Biomarkers
- Implement signal processing and data analysis pipelines for processing large amounts of sensor data and meta data collected in clinical trials according to best coding practices
- Implement and maintain tools for data visualization, data versioning and data analysis for non-expert users
- Modularize existing signal processing, data visualization and data analysis pipelines to enable reuse of pipelines across many different clinical trials
- Develop documentation and tests around the new and existing code
- Proactively collaborate with a team comprising data scientists, software engineers, and life science experts
- Actively support Data Scientists and Clinical teams with operational work and potential bug fixing during Study period
Required:
- Bachelor with emphasis on coursework of a quantitative nature (e.g. Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Data Sciences)
- 4+, years of proven software development working experience
- Deep knowledge of Python and frameworks around it
- Experience in writing unit tests and in a Python testing framework (e.g. pytest)
