Job description

We are seeking a highly experienced, technically hands-on Lead Enterprise Resilience Architect with deep expertise in Microsoft Azure to drive enterprise-wide resilience architecture initiatives for a leading financial services organization.

This role is ideal for an architect who can independently design and develop enterprise resilience frameworks, create reusable reference architectures, and translate complex resilience requirements into scalable, technically robust implementation patterns across Azure, on-premises, and hybrid environments.

Key Areas of Responsibility:

• Lead the design and development of reusable enterprise resilience patterns for Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 applications.
• Architect high-availability, fault-tolerant, multi-region, and disaster recovery solutions across Microsoft Azure and hybrid infrastructure.
• Define enterprise resilience strategies covering application criticality, RTO/RPO, backup, replication, failover, and recovery validation.
• Apply Azure Well-Architected Framework principles, particularly the Reliability pillar.
• Drive architecture reviews, present and defend technical designs, and influence adoption of approved patterns across engineering teams.

Core Requirements:

• Strong Enterprise/Solution Architecture background with proven experience developing enterprise resilience patterns and reference architectures.
• Deep expertise in Microsoft Azure architecture, high availability, multi-region deployments, and disaster recovery.
• Hands-on experience with on-premises infrastructure resilience and hybrid cloud recovery architectures.
• Strong understanding of application service tiering, RTO/RPO, fault tolerance, and resilience testing.
• Excellent architecture documentation, technical communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

Financial Services/Banking experience, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification, Azure Chaos Studio, and familiarity with FFIEC guidelines.

Ideal:

A hands-on architecture leader who can take ownership of enterprise resilience design—from conceptualization and technical documentation through architecture governance, technical validation, and engineering adoption.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate resilience patterns they have personally designed, articulate technical decisions and tradeoffs, and confidently defend their architectures through formal enterprise reviews.

This is a specialized architecture role focused on building and governing enterprise resilience patterns—not a general Cloud Architecture, Infrastructure Operations, or Disaster Recovery coordination position.
