About The Position

On our Cloud Reliability Engineering team, you’ll architect, build, and evolve the fault-tolerant infrastructure and application patterns the enterprise depends on to meet its availability and recovery commitments. Working autonomously and with wide latitude, you’ll serve as a strategic technical lead for the most complex, cross-functional resiliency solutions running in AWS—partnering with product, application, and platform leaders to define reliability strategy, from SLOs and error budgets to disaster-recovery posture. You’ll design multi-region, multi-AZ architectures and publish the reference patterns teams adopt across the enterprise; lead chaos experiments and game days that prove out resilience; automate self-healing and orchestrated failover to hit strict RTO/RPO targets; and coordinate incident response for high-severity outages, authoring the blameless post-mortems that permanently fix failures. Along the way, you’ll mentor senior and lead engineers and raise the bar for reliability practices org-wide.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical cloud experience.
At least 10 years in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps, or Cloud Architecture roles.
Demonstrated experience as a technical lead on enterprise-scale reliability initiatives.
Deep expertise in enterprise backup, recovery, disaster recovery, and cyber resilience on AWS (AWS Backup, cross-region recovery, immutable backups, recovery orchestration, application-consistent recovery, RTO/RPO planning, recovery testing, and backup governance).
Expertise in AWS resiliency services (e.g., Application Recovery Controller and Resiliency Hub), multi-region architectures, modern application architecture, and Kubernetes/container orchestration (e.g., EKS scaling and networking).
Proven experience defining SLOs/SLIs and error budgets.
Proven experience automating self-healing and orchestrated failover to meet strict RTO/RPO targets.
Hands-on experience leading chaos/failure-injection experiments with tools such as Chaos Mesh, Gremlin, or AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS).
Advanced Infrastructure-as-Code skills (e.g., Terraform for immutable infrastructure).
Observability expertise with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or Datadog.
Proven ability to mentor engineers, drive operational excellence, and articulate complex technical challenges and solutions to business and IT executive audiences.

Nice To Haves

Working knowledge of workflow/streaming platforms such as AutoSys, Temporal.io, and Kafka.
