• 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.

• 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.
