Scrum Master / Scrum Mistress

Scrum Master Opportunity at Roche Switzerland

Roche Switzerland bridges the gap between pharmacy and diagnostics, hosting vital research and development functions. We are currently seeking a Scrum Master for our long-standing client, Roche Diagnostics International AG, located in Rotkreuz.

Job Description

The ideal candidate is a proactive team player who drives continuous improvement and seeks a workplace where a job title is merely the starting point. You must be a certified Scrum Master (CSM/PSMI) with a technical degree, practical Git experience, and a strong commitment to writing thorough documentation for highly regulated environments, such as medical devices. Experience with C++, containerization, or event-driven architectures would be advantageous. However, this role requires a passion for engaging with physical hardware and low-level systems rather than solely web, UI, or cloud-native development.

Responsibilities

• Act as a Scrum Master and team coach for the software development team, facilitating progress, resolving blockers, and enhancing 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

• Self-motivated team player with a proactive approach to collaboration and knowledge sharing.
• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Minimum 4 years of experience as a Scrum Master for a software development team, diligently applying Scrum practices and theory.
• Certification in Scrum methodologies (CSM or PSMI) and a deep understanding of servant leadership, facilitation, and team empowerment techniques.
• Practical knowledge of modern development ecosystems, including Git/GitHub version control.
• Basic experience with C++ programming and a commitment to writing thorough documentation.
• Fluent in English, with exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.
• Willingness to work in a regulated environment and follow structured development processes.

Nice to Have

• Experience with IEC 62304, ISO 13485, or IVDR (medical device software lifecycle standards).
• Knowledge of event-driven architectures and message brokers (e.g., RabbitMQ, Domain Driven Design).
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and 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.
• A modern campus with ample green spaces and interaction zones.
• Central location with easy highway access and a nearby train station.
• Diverse task profile with home office possibilities.
• Further training opportunities through temptraining.
• Participation in a dynamic and motivated team.
• Competitive remuneration.
