• Take end-to-end responsibility for IT systems across their lifecycle, including development, releases, operation, and continuous improvement

• Act as a member of a product team, building solutions from early prototyping to fully productive and scalable services
• Contribute to architectural discussions and solution design in alignment with overall IT architecture and IT strategy
• Guide and collaborate with external developers where applicable
• Actively participate in agile delivery activities and support team coordination as a shared responsibility

• Experience in IT consultancy, automation, or data science based on successfully delivered IT solutions from prototyping to productive operation at scale is a plus
• Experience working in the pharmaceutical industry and/or regulated environments (GxP) is a plus
