Scrum Master

LINK KOPIEREN

Roche Switzerland bridges the gap between pharmacy and diagnostics. Important research and development functions are based here. For our long-standing client, Roche Diagnostics International AG in Rotkreuz, we are looking for a

Scrum Master

The perfect candidate is a proactive team player who drives continuous improvement and seeks a workplace where a job title is just the starting point. You must be a certified Scrum Master (CSM/PSMI) with a technical degree, practical Git experience, and a strong willingness to write thorough documentation for highly regulated environments like medical devices. While experience with C++, containerization, or event-driven architectures is a great bonus, this role requires an eagerness to engage with physical hardware and low-level systems rather than pure web, UI, or cloud-native development.

Tasks & Responsibilities:

We are looking for a Scrum Master to join our PCR Hardware Abstraction team and part of an Agile Release train (ART) following SAFe, developing C++ based real-time control software that drives the mechatronics, thermal, fluidic and optical subsystems of our in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) PCR instruments. Our software runs on PREEMPT_RT Linux and interfaces directly with custom electronics and sensors. Minimum working capacity is 50% and maximum 80%.

  • Act as a Scrum Master and team coach for the software development team, facilitating progress, resolving blockers, and increasing workplace transparency.
  • Empower the team by applying proven Agile techniques, fostering conflict resolution, situational awareness, and continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate proactively within self-organizing teams to define, estimate, and plan high-impact work packages.
  • Leverage modern AI-supporting tools throughout the entire development lifecycle to optimize coding, testing, and troubleshooting workflows.
  • Ensure compliance with processes, propose improvements, and stay informed about regulatory and market standards.

Must Haves:

You're a self-motivated team player; it is natural for you to be proactive in working with your teammates and in working with other parts of the organization. You like sharing your know-how to help the whole team advance. Bringing in new ideas to improve existing products with new functions and cost optimization is important to you. You’re looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies, where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Minimum 4 years experience serving as a Scrum Master for a software development team, diligently applying Scrum practices and theory.
  • Certification in Scrum methodologies (such as CSM or PSMI) alongside deep knowledge of servant leadership, facilitation, and team empowerment techniques.
  • Practical understanding of modern development ecosystems, including Git/GitHub version control and setting up basic build environments.
  • Basic experience with C++ programming.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a natural ability to connect teams and resolve conflicts.
  • Highly motivated, deadline-focused, with a proactive and thorough way of working.
  • Willingness to work in a regulated environment (medical device, automotive, aerospace, or industrial safety) and follow structured development processes.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills; willingness to write good documentation and drive work to conclusion.
  • Fluent in English.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with IEC 62304, ISO 13485, or IVDR (medical device software lifecycle standards).
  • Experience with event-driven architectures and message brokers (RabbitMQ, Domain Driven Design).
  • Kubernetes, Docker for CI/build environments.
  • Experience in agile development environments.
  • German language skills.

What is Offered to You:

  • A chance to contribute to one of the most significant pharmaceutical companies in the world.
  • Modern campus with plenty of green spaces and interaction zones.
  • Central location with highway access and nearby train station.
  • Diverse task profile.
  • Home office possibilities.
  • Further training opportunities through temptraining.
  • Participation in a dynamic and motivated team.
  • Good remuneration.
