Job description

Join a team where your engineering expertise directly strengthens the resilience of one of the world's most complex technology environments. At JPMorganChase, resiliency isn't a checkbox — it's a discipline, and you'll be at the center of it.

As an Assessments & Exercises Vice President- Cloud Resiliency Testing Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Cybersecurity Technology and Controls, you will partner with cloud, cybersecurity, and technology teams across the firm to design realistic disruption scenarios, identify gaps, and implement solutions that measurably improve recovery and resiliency outcomes. You'll bring hands-on engineering depth and the ability to lead from discovery through delivery, working with senior stakeholders to drive adoption and lasting impact. This role offers significant ownership and autonomy, with the opportunity to shape standards and influence outcomes across a large, matrixed organization.

Job Responsibilities

• Design and execute enterprise-wide cloud resiliency exercises using repeatable scenarios, test harnesses, and standardized metrics to measure readiness and recovery performance
• Lead adoption of modern resiliency testing approaches across technology teams and technology teams, including standards, tooling, and operating rhythms.
• Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate synthesis of test evidence and draft executive-ready assessment reporting, validating outputs and handling data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
• Develop and execute scenario-based resiliency testing aligned to Plausible Disruptive Events, and convert findings into prioritized remediation plans with verified closure.
• Partner with engineering teams to map critical user journeys, service dependencies, and failure domains, then validate behavior under disruption across identity, network, DNS, certificates, data stores, and messaging.
• Provide subject matter leadership for resiliency programs, shaping standards and implementation guidance that balance firmwide consistency with business unit constraints.
• Influence and align delivery across teams outside your direct reporting line, using technical credibility, data, and stakeholder partnership to achieve outcomes.
