## Description

* Contribute to the design, build, and maintenance of the Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) and clean room infrastructure.
 * Execute end-to-end recovery testing cycles to validate recovery time and point objectives (RTOs/RPOs) for critical applications.
 * Develop and maintain recovery runbooks, playbooks, and automation scripts using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and Python.
 * Support technical forensic validation procedures within the IRE to confirm system integrity before production re-entry.
 * Architect and operate air-gapped or logically isolated backup and replication pipelines.
 * Engineer network segmentation and identity isolation controls within the IRE to prevent lateral movement risk.
 * Collaborate with application owners, DBAs, and platform teams to validate application-layer recovery sequencing.
