Job description

Regeneron is seeking an IT Disaster Recovery (DR) Architecture & Engineering Lead to mature and scale our global DR and resilience capabilities. With a decade of infrastructure-operations experience-including at least five years defining DR architectures and engineering standards-you will develop technical strategy, champion Tier 0 (core-infrastructure) recoverability, and deliver innovative solutions across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.

  • Authoring recovery architectures for cyber-resilience, including offline/ransomware-protection strategies

  • Leading enterprise-wide tabletop and hands-on recovery tests; analyzing results and closing gaps

  • Developing RFPs and evaluating innovative technologies to improve recovery speed, scale, and automation

This job might be for you if you:

  • Thrive on translating sophisticated technical challenges into practical, scalable recovery solutions

  • Enjoy partnering with diverse teams in a matrix environment to influence architecture decisions

  • Communicate crisply with engineers, executives, and vendors-tailoring your message to each audience

  • Stay calm and decisive while directing high-pressure recovery events or cyber-incident responses

  • Relish process improvement and leverage infrastructure-as-code, automation, and multi-cloud design

  • Value compliance and quality in a pharmaceutical manufacturing context

Requirements

  • Expert knowledge of DR tools, VMware HA/SRM, multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) design, cloud recovery architectures, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
