EKS/Kubernetes experience is a strong plus Strong Terraform skills. You should be able to modularize complex environments so they are environment-agnostic Hands-on familiarity with the Secure Vault pattern: protecting data in a separate, highly restricted AWS account with tight network controls Advanced shell scripting and proficiency in either Python or Go to automate restoration tasks that native AWS tooling doesn't cover Experience with CI/CD tooling (Scalr, GitHub Actions, or equivalent) to enable broad adoption of recovery pipelines across the organization Proven ability to engineer and automate end-to-end restoration workflows Preferred: Hands-on experience leading technical recovery efforts from an actual cyber attack or destructive incident Experience with chaos engineering tooling to stress-test recovery assumptions Familiarity with NIST SP 800-34 (Contingency Planning) or similar frameworks AWS Security Specialty certification or equivalent demonstrated expertise ## Description We're looking for aStaff Cyber Resilience Engineer to lead our defense against the attacks that matter most: ransomware, destructive wipes, and data loss at scale. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will own the design and engineering of our Isolated Recovery Environment, set the standard for Infrastructure as Code across the organization, and ensure that if our AWS environment is ever compromised, we can restore operations with certainty and speed. You will work with a high-caliber engineering team, have direct influence on our security architecture, and lead recovery exercises that test the organization end-to-end. How You'll Contribute: Own Our Recovery Architecture Design and build our Isolated Recovery Environment - a hardened AWS account with immutable vaults that break the attacker's kill chain before it reaches our data Threat m odel our environment with a deep understanding of cloud-native attack patterns: IAM privilege escalation, backup deletion, ransomware persistence, and lateral movement across accounts Validate and continuously improve backup configurations to ensure recoverability, not just existence Standardize and Automate Infrastructure Lead our transition to 100% Infrastructure as Code. Every asset (VPCs, IAM roles, security groups) must be defined in Terraform so we can redeploy the entire stack into a clean account via automated pipeline Build automated recovery workflows that can tear down a compromised environment and bootstrap a fresh, hardened one from verified code and clean data Write and maintain executable recovery playbooks that detail the exact API calls and CLI commands needed to restore the application - tested, versioned, and runnable, not static documents Validate, Test, and Lead Exercises Develop automated scripts (Python or Go) to smoke test recovered data and validate integrity post-restoration Lead regular hands-on recovery drills that simulate total loss of a critical environment and full recovery into a secondary clean account. Own the after-action process and drive improvements Drive Engineering Standards Act as the resilience authority for the engineering organization - shaping high-availability architecture decisions, influencing design reviews, and raising the floor on how we think about recoverability Partner with the Site Reliability Engineering team on multi-region deployments and high-availability design, ensuring cyber resilience is embedded in architecture from the start Champion IaC and immutable infrastructure practices across teams, not just within your own workstream ## Related Videos - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Web APIs you might not know about](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/281-web-apis-you-might-not-know-about) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Implementing Feature Environments with AWS and Terraform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/531-implementing-feature-environments-with-aws-and-terraform) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Walking Into The Era of Supply Chain Risks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/106-walking-into-the-era-of-supply-chain-risks)
