About the role

  • Risk Engineer designing technical solutions to reduce operational, cyber, and resilience risk. Collaborating with teams to embed risk controls in cloud architectures and automation.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer **technical risk solutions** that reduce operational, cyber, and resilience risk through architecture, automation, and control design.
  • Translate **risk requirements, policies, and standards** into implementable technical patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures.
  • Prioritize and influence **solution design decisions** based on risk impact, blast radius, and recovery dependencies.
  • Partner with platform, cloud, security, and SRE teams to embed risk controls directly into infrastructure and pipelines.
  • Evaluate control effectiveness using **technical signals and evidence**, not just procedural compliance.
  • Support initiatives such as secure cloud architectures, isolated recovery environments, identity and access hardening, and infrastructure resilience.
  • Provide technical guidance on **risk tradeoffs**, recovery sequencing, and dependency-aware system design.
  • Contribute to lightweight process definition where needed—but always in service of enabling better technical outcomes.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in engineering, security engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or technical risk roles
  • Proven ability to **design and influence technical solutions** across teams
  • Strong understanding of how risk manifests in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and automation
  • Comfortable operating between engineering teams and risk stakeholders
  • Ability to explain complex technical risk concepts to non-technical audiences without losing fidelity
