Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Formal training or certification on security and cloud concepts and 5+ years applied experience on engineering experience in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, platform reliability, or cybersecurity engineering.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience designing, building, and operating solutions in public cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP).
- Experience designing and executing resiliency, disaster recovery, or failure-based testing exercises for applications and infrastructure.
- Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support assessment workflows (e.g., analysis support and report drafting) with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
- Ability to review and validate AI-assisted findings and remediation recommendations before use, escalating when uncertain and following security and data handling requirements.
- Strong understanding of cloud and network architecture, including fault domains, failure modes, dependency mapping, and recovery patterns.
- Working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (for example, Terraform) and the ability to implement resiliency controls through automated, repeatable patterns.
- Experience conducting architecture/design assessments, identifying resiliency and security weaknesses, and driving remediation to verified closure.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into prioritized risk and remediation actions.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive alignment across matrixed teams and understanding of current cyber threats and attack techniques, and how they inform resiliency design and testing priorities.
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Experience leading or supporting disaster recovery and cyber recovery planning, testing, and post-exercise remediation.
- Experience using AI-assisted tooling to support resiliency engineering tasks, such as generating runbooks, test plans, failure scenarios, scripts, and post-exercise summaries, while applying appropriate validation and secure data handling practices.
- Experience in security architecture or engineering, including practical familiarity with industry frameworks such as NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, CIS Controls, OWASP, or SANS guidance.
- Proficiency in one or more programming or scripting languages used for automation and analysis, such as Python, Java, Scala, or Bash.
- Experience implementing resiliency controls and testing patterns in containerized and orchestration-based environments, such as Kubernetes and experience with observability and incident tooling used to validate resilience outcomes, such as metrics, tracing, logging, synthetic monitoring, and alerting platforms.
- Experience working in regulated environments and engaging with audit, risk, compliance, and regulatory stakeholders.
- Relevant cloud or security certifications, such as AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect, Google Professional Cloud Architect, CISSP, or CISM.
