Your impact
As the Principal HA & DR Engineer, you will own the architectural strategy and technical execution for the platform's 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 :

- 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 safe guardrails, and prepare the organization to execute its initial automated fault-injection and live-fire failover drills.
- 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.
- Optimize Uptime & 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.
