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.
What You'll Bring to Xometry
8+ years of experience in complex cloud environments (any of AWS/GCP/Azure), including at least 3 years in AWS. 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
