Job Level

About the role

  • 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.

Requirements

  • 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.
  • Proven ability to design and influence technical solutions across teams
  • Strong understanding of how risk manifests in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and automation
  • Comfortable operating between engineering teams and risk stakeholders
  • Ability to explain complex technical risk concepts to non-technical audiences without losing fidelity.
Benefits
  • Immediate medical, dental, and prescription drug coverage
  • Flexible family care, parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
  • Vehicle discount program for employees and family members, and management leases
  • Tuition assistance
  • Established and active employee resource groups
  • Paid time off for individual and team community service
  • A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day
  • Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
