You will collaborate closely with local and global teams, acting as the technical anchor for this program. ### What you will do Design and implement scalable, maintainable IT system architectures suited to the regulatory and quality requirements of our Japan Life Science operations. Define and enforce engineering standards across software development practices, ensuring solutions are reproducible, secure, and built to last. Drive code quality through automated testing, structured code reviews, and disciplined Git workflows. Communicate technical concepts clearly to both engineering teams and non-technical business stakeholders, including Quality and Regulatory functions. Contribute to the company's broader AI capabilities where applicable, supporting the design of agentic or LLM-based systems as the program matures. ### Who You Are Experienced software engineer and system architect with a proven track record in complex, production-grade environments. Hands-on with core AWS services and proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation). Solid grasp of CI/CD, containerization (Docker / Kubernetes), automated testing, and observability. Security-conscious, with knowledge of authentication, authorization, and secure system design. Strong communicator, able to align cross-functional teams and bridge technical and business perspectives. Culturally adaptable, ideally with experience working in or with Japan-based organizations. Proficiency in Japanese is a plus. Familiarity with agentic system design or LLM-based architecture (e.g. LangChain, RAG pipelines, vector databases) is an asset, though not a primary requirement for this role. ### 私たちが提供するもの 私たちは、さまざまな背景、視点、人生経験を持つ好奇心旺盛な人々で構成されるグループです。この多様性が卓越性と革新を促進し、科学と技術のリーダーシップを強化すると信じています。私たちは、すべての人が自分のペースで成長し発展するためのアクセスと機会を創出することにコミットしています。何百万もの人々に影響を与え、誰もが人類の進歩を支持できるようにする包括性と帰属感のある文化を築くために私たちに参加してください！ 今すぐ応募して、発見を促し、人類の発展を高めることに専念するチームの一員になりましょう！ ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 19, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 19, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 19, 2026 - Listed for: Under a day - Location: Tokyo, Japan - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and its affiliates’s careers site →](https://careers.merckgroup.com/global/en/job/MQAMKDGLOBAL302441EXTERNALENGLOBAL/Data-Transformation-Project-Manager-Life-Science) ## More jobs at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and its affiliates ### [Data Scientist / Integrated Supply Chain_Electronics](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/merck-kgaa-germany/jobs/b20456b7a150b41babb3/) Tokyo, Japan ### [Account Manager _ Life Science](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/merck-kgaa-germany/jobs/34b97b8dd065286a54bc/) Tokyo, Japan ### [Associate Medical Lead](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/merck-kgaa-germany/jobs/9b81a2d8c7e7784a6418/) Tokyo, Japan ### [Business Development Director _ Life Science](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/merck-kgaa-germany/jobs/33c76eedce4f4d465ae5/) Tokyo, Japan ### [CRC/HN Specialist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/merck-kgaa-germany/jobs/6b169a9a4f50bd0b3ee4/) Tokyo, Japan ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Associate Project Manager – Fire/Life Safety Systems](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/siemens/jobs/4c2603b7c94b8d0903af/) Siemens ### [Senior Project Manager – Fire/Life Safety Systems](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/siemens/jobs/9e21afcdd6e1e174c37e/) Siemens ### [Life Safety Project & Order Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/eaton/jobs/e0692d9479a1f5bd18ea/) Eaton · New Cairo City, EGY ### [Process Analyst/Project Leader - Process & Organisation Life Insurance](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ageas/jobs/096dd9867ed6cf005fa7/) Ageas ### [transformation project coordinator temporary](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/richemont/jobs/f8ac97b82472af7dc4c7/) Richemont OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
