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.

- 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
