About the role

We are seeking a hands-on Technology Resilience Specialist to support the design, governance, and validation of enterprise-wide technology resilience across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments for a leading organization in Charlotte, NC. This role serves as a subject matter expert across Disaster Recovery (DR), cyber recovery, backup/restoration, and workload recovery testing. You will partner with cross-functional infrastructure, cloud, application, and cybersecurity teams to evaluate resilience designs, coordinate recovery exercises, identify vulnerability gaps, and strengthen operational recovery postures in accordance with strict regulatory expectations.

• Recovery Architecture & Strategy: Evaluate and challenge recovery designs for new and existing applications hosted in AWS, Azure, and traditional data centers; define backup strategies, recovery groups, and failover/failback mechanisms.
• Resilience & DR Testing: Coordinate and execute end-to-end recovery testing activities (application recovery, backup/restore validations, cloud failover, and cyber recovery simulations); log test results and track remediation plans to resolution.
• Cloud Resilience: Support cloud resilience governance across Azure and AWS platforms, assisting application teams with dependency mapping, backup validation, and native cloud recovery planning.
• Cyber Recovery & Infrastructure Protection: Assess recovery readiness for critical core services (Active Directory, Entra ID, databases, backup platforms) and participate in tabletop cyber recovery exercises.
• Audit & Risk Compliance: Maintain comprehensive testing evidence and documentation to support internal audits, risk assessments, and regulatory examinations.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) as well as enterprise data center technology (VMware, Windows Server, Linux, storage, networking).
• Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills to bridge technical execution with non-technical business leaders.
• Ability to work hybrid onsite 2–3 days per week at the Charlotte, NC office location.
