Your impact

As the Principal HA DR Engineer, you will own the architectural strategy and technical execution for the platforms resilience, high availability, and disaster recovery lifecycle. You will design, build, and deliver technical solutions that support Platform availability, resiliency, and disaster response.

You will act as the principal authority for business continuity across our global infrastructure, defining the guardrails for system fault-tolerance and leading cross-functional coordination for multi-region disaster preparedness between both cloud and on prem. You will also design automated failover mechanisms, champion chaos engineering practices, and develop robust mitigation strategies to eliminate single points of failure across both cloud and on-premises infrastructure.

You will :

- Drive the HA Strategy Roadmap: Own the end-to-end design and technical execution of our global High Availability roadmap, ensuring continuous platform uptime across both cloud and on-premises environments.

- Build Implement HA Architectures: Hand-on code, configure, and engineer active-active clustering, global load balancing, and real-time database replication to completely eliminate single points of failure.

- Establish the Resiliency Practice: Build and champion our foundational Resiliency Engineering framework from scratch, defining platform-wide standards for fault tolerance and self-healing.

- Influence Engineering Teams: Partner with and influence cross-functional engineering squads to ensure self-healing mechanisms and automated recovery protocols are embedded directly into their core deliverables.

- Bootstrap Chaos Engineering: Introduce and champion our first-ever Chaos Engineering program; you will define the strategy, establish the protected guardrails,



and prepare the organization to execute its initial automated fault-injection and live-fire failover drills.

- Optimize Uptime and Manage Risks: Monitor infrastructure performance KPIs to identify potential bottlenecks, mitigate shortage or overload risks before they cause downtime, and ensure compliance with strict Customer SLA requirements.

Your skills and experience

We work with a broad range of technologies, and we don t expect you to know everything on day one. You ll have time to learn our tools and grow into the role. Were looking for diverse experiences to help strengthen our team.

Essential

- 8+ Years of HA Engineering: Extensive HA experience across cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and on-premises environments.

- Technical Influence: Proven ability to evangelize resiliency standards and influence cross-functional engineering teams to build self-healing features.

- Failover Replication: Hands-on expertise with real-time data replication, database clustering, and automated, zero-downtime traffic failover.

- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Advanced proficiency with Terraform or Ansible to build and replicate highly available environments programmatically.

- Systems Container Engineering: Deep technical knowledge of Linux internals and container orchestration using Kubernetes (K8s).

- Hybrid Network Engineering: Hands-on experience managing complex hybrid networking topologies, including BGP routing, DNS management, Anycast, and CDNs.

- Strategic Execution: Ability to translate high-level uptime requirements into a technical roadmap and personally execute the engineering work.
