Data Engineer

The Position

A healthier future. It’s what drives us to innovate. To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come. Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love. That’s what makes us Genentech, a member of the Roche Group.

The Opportunity

At Genentech and Roche, we're at the forefront of a revolutionary transformation in drug discovery powered by AI and machine learning. Our "lab in the loop" strategy processes massive quantities of experimental data to train AI models that accelerate the discovery of new medicines. To enable this vision, we're seeking an exceptional Data Engineer to be part of the team building and maintaining our next-generation Therapeutic Molecule Registration (TMR) platform - a foundational component of our AI-driven drug discovery infrastructure, Lab-in-the-Loop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN1PxxQWoEc). This platform will serve as the central nervous system for managing and integrating molecular data across our global research organization, handling hundreds of billions of records and enabling unprecedented scale in virtual molecule design and testing. As the volume of AI-generated molecular designs grows exponentially, our TMR platform must evolve to become a high-performance, cloud-native system capable of supporting rapid iteration cycles between computational design and experimental validation. You will be instrumental in consolidating our molecule registration systems into a single, harmonized environment, unlocking the full potential of our data and accelerating the development of life-changing therapies. The ideal candidate will combine data engineering experience with an interest in chemical and biological data management systems.

You will work closely with Genentech Computational Sciences (gCS) colleagues, including our machine learning for drug development team, Genentech Research & Early Development (gRED) Drug Discovery teams including the Antibody Engineering division, and other teams across the Roche family of companies to identify, strategize, and productionalize high-impact applications from across the drug discovery and development pipeline. Genentech provides a dynamic and challenging environment for cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research in AI and drug discovery including access to rich sources of data, close links to top academic institutions around the world, as well as internal Genentech and Roche partners and research units.

In this role, you will:

• Implement features of our TMR platform

• Write clean, well-tested code following team standards

• Build and maintain data pipelines

• Facilitate data migration to TMR and production deployment

• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions

• Contribute to documentation and testing efforts

• Collaborate with team members on technical solutions

Who you are

• 3+ years of data engineering experience

• Strong experience with Postgres SQL and Oracle

• Skilled with at least one modern data toolkit (Glue, dbt, Databricks,...)

• Cloud platform exposure (preferably AWS)

• Python programming skills

• Strong testing practices

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)

Preferred

• Experience with data modelling & schema design

• Involvement in a database migration

• Familiarity with scientific software

• Interest in chemical/biological data systems

• Experience with AWS services
