By combining our unique strengths, we are redefining healthcare through sustainable action and innovation. For a behind-the-scenes look, check out this video ( to see how we at Roche are making personalized health care a reality.
The mySugr GmbH ( was acquired by Roche in 2017 and our Vienna office is one of Roche's global sites. We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Architect to join the Architecture sub-chapter within Patient Insights Software Applications (PIxSW), where we design digital health and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) products spanning mobile apps, connected devices and cloud services, all built on Roche's shared mobile and digital platforms. You will own software architecture end to end, across mobile, backend and cloud: the systems, the integration boundaries and the decisions that tie them together. You lead through the clarity of your designs, not through a reporting line, in a small, senior group that relies on each other to reason from a mobile screen to a cloud data platform.
We are also changing how software gets built. RIS is one of the first teams at Roche to make AI a real part of engineering, and we are building out an AI-augmented software development lifecycle (aSDLC). We want an architect who already works this way: someone who uses agentic coding tools like Claude Code as part of their normal flow, can tell a solid result from a plausible but wrong one, and can raise the team's game in how we apply AI to design, build and review.
Own architecture designs across native mobile, backend and the navify cloud,



treating the app-to-cloud integration as a first-class part of the design
Make trade-offs explicit (cost, risk, time to value, reuse), and keep regulated and non-regulated parts of a product cleanly separated so it can cross into medical device territory
Claude, ChatGPT) into how we design, prototype, document and review, and show the team what good use looks like
Cloud, backend and platform
Design backend services on our Java and Spring foundation, modular and well bounded
Design data and integration flows across the navify Platform (identity, consent, notifications, AI, FHIR) and the cloud beneath it
Partner with our mobile experts and the Cloud and DevOps sub-chapter, adding cross-domain breadth rather than competing with their depth
A strong track record as a Software Architect designing systems across mobile, backend and cloud rather than a single layer, with enough native mobile knowledge to partner well with specialists without being one yourself
Depth in cloud and backend architecture: Java and Spring, modular and domain-driven design, APIs and integration, cloud-native patterns and DevOps, including CI/CD (experience of a major cloud provider a plus)




SaMD or other medical device software is a strong plus
Comfortable making trade-offs and being challenged on them, and happy to get hands-on with prototypes when it takes the risk out of a design
FHIR and healthcare data standards, identity and consent platforms, reference architecture or platform teams, deeper SaMD experience.

Ambitious and passionate people building meaningful products for a global audience
An innovative agile working environment allowing for collaboration with really smart people and knowledge sharing in cross-functional teams
Loads of benefits (brand new Apple hardware, fitness, public transport, lunch benefit, language classes, professional training budget, chance to join integral conferences...)
Flexible working hours and home office policy, 5 weeks vacation
An amazing office with a rooftop terrace, fully stocked kitchen and amazing barista coffee machines in the middle of Vienna… oh, and did we mention the best team in the world!
In Austria, we have a legal obligation to disclose the minimum salary according to our collective agreement, which is gross EUR 3.843 - per month for this position. We care about family friendly career paths, sustainability, a healthy lifestyle and the flexibility of a modern workplace. As a healthcare pioneer committed to transforming the lives of billions of people around the globe, we push boundaries to redefine what is possible. Healthcare that is built on people’s needs, strong data and clinical insights.
