Disaster Recovery Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a hands-on Disaster Recovery Engineer to help assess, design, and strengthen recovery capabilities across Tier-0 (T0) infrastructure. This role focuses on engineering and architecture, not just documentation or running existing playbooks. The engineer will evaluate real failure modes across identity, network, virtualization, and backup platforms, partner closely with Infrastructure, Application, and Security teams, and help design both remediation strategies and future-state disaster recovery solutions.

This is a highly impactful role for someone comfortable operating in ambiguity, building recovery programs from the ground up, and combining deep technical execution with architectural thinking.

Key Responsibilities (Day-to-Day)

Assess Tier-0 infrastructure resiliency both horizontally (dependencies across systems) and vertically (stack-level failures).

Identify real-world failure modes, not just theoretical risks.

Partner with Infrastructure, Application, and Security teams to:

Identify resiliency gaps

Engineer practical recovery options

Design remediation plans and future-state DR architectures

Support the buildout of recovery infrastructure, including tooling evaluation and architecture.

Participate in disaster recovery exercises after foundational engineering work is complete.

Produce clear, effective technical documentation and diagrams (diagrams prioritized over policies).

This is hands-on engineering with architectural ownership, not an analysis-only or business continuity documentation role.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
