## Description

Application Engineer required for long term contract assignment based in Stevenage or Bristol or Bolton, We are seeking a highly technical Application Engineer to ensure the mission-readiness, availability, and survivability of our critical engineering application suites. In this role, you will be the technical anchor for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) at the application layer.

You will not just write policies; you will design, engineer, and automate failover mechanisms, fault isolation patterns, and recovery pipelines. This is a highly collaborative role requiring tight integration with our core Infrastructure, Cyber Security, and Network Engineering teams to co-design full-stack, infrastructure-supported resilience solutions capable of withstanding severe-but-plausible cyber and kinetic disruptions., * Application BC/DR Engineering: Design, build, and maintain application-layer resilience mechanisms.

 * Infrastructure & Network Collaboration: Partner closely with Infrastructure and Network teams to co-design resilient solutions and failover mechanisms.
 * Impact Tolerance & Recovery Metrics: Establish, monitor, and continuously validate Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
 * Joint Resilience Drills: Participate in end-to-end, multi-team disaster recovery exercises simulating extreme scenarios, including total datacentre loss, supply chain compromises, and air-gap isolations.
 * Defence Compliance & Data Sovereignty: Ensure all applications and solutions strictly adhere to defence data regulations, air-gapping requirements, cryptographic mandates, and frameworks.
 * Implement/modify access control mechanisms and auditing to meet defined acceptance criteria.
