• 5–8 years in software architecture, distributed systems, reliability engineering, or fault-tolerant design.
• Strong understanding of distributed computing, redundancy, replication, failover and recovery principles.
• Experience designing highly available systems across cloud, hybrid, or on-prem environments.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Knowledge of containerization, orchestration, infrastructure automation, and observability tools.
• Experience with fault-injection testing, chaos engineering, incident analysis, and disaster recovery planning.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and with distributed teams.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement fault-tolerant architectures for distributed systems, applications, and critical infrastructure.
• Identify single points of failure and develop strategies to eliminate or mitigate operational risks.
• Develop redundancy, failover, replication, and automated recovery mechanisms.
• Establish resilience patterns, including retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and graceful degradation.
• Conduct failure-mode analysis, reliability assessments, and system resilience reviews.
• Design and execute fault-injection experiments and controlled failure simulations to evaluate system behavior.
• Collaborate with software engineers, DevOps teams, site reliability engineers, and infrastructure specialists to improve system robustness.
• Define reliability objectives, recovery time objectives (RTOs), recovery point objectives (RPOs), and fault-tolerance requirements.
• Investigate incidents, identify root causes, and implement corrective and preventive measures.
• Maintain technical documentation, architecture standards, resilience guidelines, and disaster recovery procedures.
