This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.

The Position

At Roche Information Solutions (RIS), we now do what patients need next. We are transforming healthcare through digital innovation, building high-scale, cloud-native platforms that support clinicians and patients globally. We are seeking a high-seniority Java Developer for our Warsaw-based hub who can be co-located, and brings an AI-first mindset to the software development lifecycle.

The Opportunity

You will work on a cloud-native digital pathology platform that is transforming how pathology laboratories operate worldwide. The system enables pathologists, histotechnicians, and laboratory coordinators to digitize tissue slide specimens, manage clinical cases end-to-end, review high-resolution slide images remotely, run AI-powered algorithms for diagnostic decision support, and seamlessly exchange data with laboratory information systems (LIS) and PACS archives. The vision is to deliver advanced medical insights and drive personalized healthcare by replacing manual, microscope-bound workflows with a connected, software-defined laboratory experience. 

As a Senior Java Developer, you will build and evolve the microservices that power these clinical workflows — from image ingestion and case management to algorithm orchestration and third-party integrations — directly contributing to faster, more confident diagnoses for patients globally.
