Job Description
• Engineer technical risk solutions that reduce operational, cyber, and resilience risk through architecture, automation, and control design.
• Translate risk requirements, policies, and standards into implementable technical patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures.
• Prioritize and influence solution design decisions based on risk impact, blast radius, and recovery dependencies.
• Partner with platform, cloud, security, and SRE teams to embed risk controls directly into infrastructure and pipelines.
• Evaluate control effectiveness using technical signals and evidence, not just procedural compliance.
• Support initiatives such as secure cloud architecture, isolated recovery environments, identity and access hardening, and infrastructure resilience.
• Provide technical guidance on risk tradeoffs, recovery sequencing, and dependency-aware system design.
• Contribute to lightweight process definition where needed—but always in service of enabling better technical outcomes.

- 7+ years in IT operations & engineering, security engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or technical risk roles
- Backup, recovery, and resilience solution architecture implementations, especially IRE’s.
