The Position
At Roche, our network is the backbone of our innovation—connecting researchers, labs, and offices across the globe. As a Network Observability Engineer, you won’t just be building dashboards for network engineers; you will be architecting the systems that ensure our global teams can collaborate on life-saving medicine without interruption.

Data Acquisition & Integration: Develop and maintain methods for extracting network data using various mechanisms, including SNMP, APIs, and network telemetry/streaming data.
-
System Administration & Tooling: Utilize Linux and system administration knowledge to maintain monitoring infrastructure and integrate various open-source and commercial tools.
-
Innovate & Prototype: Evaluate new monitoring solutions and open-source visualization tools (e.g., Grafana) to enhance our observability stack and stay ahead of industry trends.
-
Proactive Problem Solving: Use monitoring data to identify network performance issues, bottlenecks, and anomalies to reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) and prevent future incidents.
-
Unified Analytics & Stakeholder Reporting: Work in the design and implementation of a centralized observability dashboard fed by our corporate Data Lake. You will synthesize disparate data types—including technical network telemetry, financial metrics, and ITSM process data—into meaningful, actionable reports for both internal technical teams and external business stakeholders.

- Deep proficiency in Linux/Unix and automation (Python, Bash, or Ansible) Connectivity Foundation: Good understanding of connectivity technologies (CCNA level or equivalent experience).
Tooling Expertise:
- Hands-on experience with modern observability platforms and the ability to turn raw telemetry into actionable insights.
Data-Driven Mindset:
- Experience with API-based data collection and integrating disparate data sources into unified dashboards.
Cross-Domain Data Analytics:
- Experience working with Data Lakes to aggregate and normalize disparate data types (e.g., technical network telemetry, financial metrics, and ITSM process logs) into cohesive, stakeholder-facing reports and business intelligence dashboards.
