Job summary

Roche Polska seeks a Developer Advocate for Engineering Excellence and Experience (E3) to champion developer workflows and empower internal engineers. You will prototype integrations, assist the engineering community, and build demos, blogs, and starter kits that illustrate E3 capabilities.

You will engage in inner-source activities, mentor engineers, and communicate feedback to platform squads to improve documentation, APIs, and end-to-end developer experience.

Qualifications

• Bachelor or advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Previous full-stack software development, DevOps, or Platform Engineering experience, with a strong comfort level writing code and analyzing architecture pipelines.
• Deep familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, automated code review agents).
• Understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), CI/CD engines, container orchestration.
• Proven ability to build reference architectures, starter kits, and mock environments that developers can clone and deploy in minutes.
• Strong customer focus, ownership, initiative, and drive.
• Ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment in complex, fast-paced, and ambiguous environments.
• Eagerness to participate in and represent at internal conferences, global engineering events, and inner-source meetups.
• Exceptional written and oral storytelling skills tailored specifically to technical audiences, with a proven capacity to scale knowledge through internal blogs, tech talks, and interactive workshops.
• Demonstrated capability to cross-functionally partner with Product, Engineering, Security and Compliance squads to transparently surface workflow friction and shift product roadmaps based on developer feedback.
• Proven pragmatism in engineering delivery, focusing on stable, highly usable solutions that work today rather than chasing theoretical perfection that delays development.
• An obsession with the end-to-end user journey, ensuring platform capabilities are always accompanied by clear documentation, seamless APIs, and accessible user support.

Responsibilities

• Prototype technical integrations and templates between core E3 platforms and diverse, business-specific development pipelines.
• Support engineering community members through hands-on troubleshooting, architecture reviews, and pairing sessions, modeling high standards for modern software development practices.
• Build compelling presentations, demos, technical blogs, and sample solutions showcasing E3 capabilities.
• Actively engage and support the internal Roche engineering community through inner-sourcing initiatives, internal tech talks, and hackathons.
• Represent internal engineer needs by providing direct feedback on bugs, creating feature requests, and documenting workflow friction to help platform product squads improve the developer experience.
• Maintain a strong presence and high credibility within internal communication channels, developer forums, and technical communities relevant to Roche engineers and non-technical creators.
• Encourage, simplify, and drive the organic adoption of E3 capabilities across the company.
• Engage as a technical spokesperson and champion for the E3 organization across Roche business units.
• Communicate developer feedback trends, platform adoption milestones, and workflow bottlenecks clearly to E3 leadership and stakeholders.
• Act as a mentor and resource for internal engineers and platform squad members, sharing technical knowledge, best practices, and guidance on embedded AppSec and AI tools.
• Contribute directly to platform product vision discussions, advocating for critical improvements in documentation, API usability, and the end-to-end developer experience.
