Enterprise Standards & Governance: Own and maintain enterprise-wide technology resilience standards, ensuring consistent implementation and reducing organizational drift from established frameworks across infrastructure, application, and product domains
Technology Resilience Strategy: Drive comprehensive technical resilience architecture including infrastructure redundancy and fault tolerance, application resilience and graceful degradation strategies, and chaos engineering frameworks for continuous resilience validation
Disaster Recovery Leadership: Lead enterprise technical recovery strategy development and implementation, including backup and redundancy systems, recovery time/point objectives (RTO/RPO) for technical systems, and data recovery/restoration procedures
Product Performance and Scalability: Partner to define and implement resilience standards, including feature flagging, release, testing, multi-tenancy frameworks, and scalability frameworks to manage growth
Risk Oversight & Metrics: Provide technical oversight and aggregation of technology resilience risks across the enterprise, establishing and monitoring key performance indicators including system uptime
Secondary Responsibilities:
Resilience Engineering Leadership: Drive chaos engineering and resilience testing programs, establishing enterprise-wide practices for proactive resilience validation and continuous improvement
Shared Tooling Strategy: Own shared resilience tooling strategy, evaluation, and implementation to support enterprise-wide capabilities including monitoring, testing, and recovery automation
Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain formal networks with key constituents across business units, engineering teams, and external partners
Crisis Leadership: Serve as senior technical advisor during major incident response, providing expertise on technical recovery strategies and coordinating cross-functional recovery efforts
Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Drive innovation in resilience practices, identifying emerging technologies and methodologies to advance CrowdStrike's competitive resilience advantage
Mentorship & Knowledge Transfer: Provide strategic guidance and expertise to junior team members and cross-functional partners on resilience engineering best practices
What You'll Need:
Experience: 10+ years of direct experience in technology resilience, disaster recovery, site reliability engineering, or related technical disciplines, with demonstrated expertise in enterprise-scale cloud-native environments
Technical Expertise: Deep understanding of infrastructure redundancy patterns, application resilience design, chaos engineering principles, and enterprise disaster recovery strategies across hybrid cloud architectures
Product Resilience Knowledge: Proven experience with feature management systems, progressive deployment strategies, multi-tenant architecture resilience, and scalability engineering practices
Leadership & Strategy: Proven ability to drive strategic initiatives across large technology organizations, with experience influencing senior stakeholders and leading complex, cross-functional resilience programs
Metrics & Analytics: Experience establishing and monitoring resilience KPIs, including system uptime, MTTR, RTO/RPO objectives, and deployment success metrics
Certifications: Advanced certifications in disaster recovery, cloud architecture, or site reliability disciplines (e.g., DRCS, CISSP, AWS/Azure/GCP architecture certifications)
Communication: Exceptional written and oral communication skills, including experience developing and delivering strategic briefings to executive leadership and technical teams
Problem Solving: Advanced analytical and conceptual thinking abilities, with proven track record of solving complex, ambiguous resilience challenges with enterprise-wide impact
Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to build formal networks and influence stakeholders across engineering, product, and business organizations
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Risk/Resilience, or equivalent practical experience
Availability: Ability to provide leadership support during crisis events, including nights and weekends when required
Bonus Points:
Experience leading technology resilience functions in high-growth, cloud-native technology companies
Advanced knowledge of chaos engineering tools and practices (Chaos Monkey, Litmus, Gremlin, etc.)
Experience with modern resilience patterns including circuit breakers, bulkheads, and progressive delivery
Background spanning infrastructure operations, site reliability engineering, and product engineering
Experience with observability and monitoring platforms supporting resilience objectives
Advanced data analytics and visualization experience for resilience metrics and reporting
