Job description

I can be myself at work.

You are more than a job title. We want you to feel comfortable doing great work and bringing your best, authentic self to everything you do. We value your talents, traditions, and uniqueness—and we’re committed to fostering a strong sense of belonging in a respectful workplace. We intentionally seek diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds, investing in a culture designed to celebrate differences. We believe that belonging leads to better outcomes and a stronger community of associates united by our mission. At Capital, we live our core values every day: Integrity, Client Focus, Diverse Perspectives, Long-Term Thinking, and Community.

I can influence my income.

You want to feel recognized at work. Your performance will be reviewed annually, and your compensation will be designed to motivate and reward the value that you provide. You’ll receive a competitive salary, bonuses and benefits. Your company-funded retirement contribution will factor in salary and variable pay, including bonuses.

I can lead a full life.

You bring unique goals and interests to your job and your life. Whether you’re raising a family, you’re passionate about where you volunteer, or you want to explore different career paths, we’ll give you the resources that can set you up for success.

• Enjoy generous time-away and health benefits from day one, with the opportunity for flexible work options.


• Receive 2-for-1 matching gifts for your charitable contributions and the opportunity to secure annual grants for the organizations you love.


• Access on-demand professional development resources that allow you to hone existing skills and learn new ones.

I can succeed as a Senior Infrastructure & Application Resiliency Engineer at Capital Group.

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.

I am the person Capital Group is looking for.

• You have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical cloud experience.


• You have at least 10 years in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps, or Cloud Architecture roles, including demonstrated experience as a technical lead on enterprise-scale reliability initiatives.


• You have 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, backup governance.


• You are an expert 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).


• You have proven experience defining SLOs/SLIs and error budgets and automating self-healing and orchestrated failover to meet strict RTO/RPO targets.


• You have hands‑on experience leading chaos/failure‑injection experiments with tools such as Chaos Mesh, Gremlin, or AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS).


• You have advanced Infrastructure‑as‑Code skills (e.g., Terraform for immutable infrastructure) and observability expertise with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or Datadog; working knowledge of workflow/streaming platforms such as AutoSys, Temporal.io, and Kafka is a plus.


• You have proven ability to mentor engineers, drive operational excellence, and articulate complex technical challenges and solutions to business and IT executive audiences.

I can apply in less than 4 minutes.
