Your Team's Impact

The candidate will be part of the ITDR Team in RE - Reliability Engineering supporting Core Infrastructure.

We are seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented ITDR Data Recoverability Engineer to strengthen the organization's ability to identify, recover, validate, and trust critical data required to support business service recovery and operational resilience.

This role combines data governance, recoverability analysis, dependency mapping, operational resilience, recovery assurance, and recovery validation disciplines. Working across business, application, infrastructure, cloud, architecture, and disaster recovery teams, you will identify critical data assets, understand how they support business services, assess recoverability risks, validate recovery outcomes, and improve confidence in recovery readiness across the enterprise.

Success in this role requires a strong understanding of how data, applications, infrastructure, and business processes interact during recovery events, with a focus on ensuring recovered data is complete, accurate, usable, and trusted when business operations resume.

What you’ll do

• Identify, classify, and maintain inventories of critical data assets supporting business services, including ownership, recovery requirements, recovery objectives, recovery priorities, and recovery classifications.

• Partner with business and technology stakeholders to identify critical business services, supporting data assets, recovery requirements, and business recovery priorities.

• Support Business Impact Analysis (BIA), operational resilience assessments, and recovery planning activities by identifying critical business services, supporting data assets, recovery dependencies, recovery requirements, and recoverability risks that may impact business service recovery.

• Maintain recovery-related metadata, recovery classifications, ownership records, and supporting information required to support recovery planning, validation, testing, and governance activities.

• Support implementation and continuous improvement of data governance, metadata management, dependency mapping, and recovery management capabilities that strengthen business service recoverability.

• Develop and maintain relationships and dependency models between business services, applications, databases, infrastructure components, cloud platforms, identity services, third-party services, and critical data assets.

• Analyze and document recovery dependencies required to support business service restoration, recovery prioritization, and restoration sequencing.

• Collaborate with business, application, infrastructure, architecture, cloud, and disaster recovery teams to assess recoverability capabilities and identify recovery gaps.

• Conduct recoverability assessments and evaluate risks related to data loss, corruption, dependency failures, unauthorized access, incomplete recovery, or other conditions that may impact business service recovery.

• Recommend improvements that strengthen recovery readiness, operational resilience, and recovery assurance capabilities.

• Define and maintain recovery validation requirements, reconciliation controls, data integrity verification processes, and business acceptance criteria used to confirm recovered data is complete, accurate, usable, and trusted.

• Support recovery testing, recovery exercises, tabletop exercises, and recovery events by validating critical data assets and confirming recovery outcomes.

• Coordinate business acceptance activities and support validation of critical business services following recovery testing and recovery events.

• Document testing outcomes, validation results, identified gaps, remediation activities, and lessons learned.

• Support development and maintenance of recovery validation procedures, evidence requirements, and recovery assurance practices.

• Design and maintain recoverability metrics, dashboards, reporting, and automated controls used to measure recovery readiness, recovery validation outcomes, dependency risks, and overall recoverability posture.

• Develop reporting used to communicate recoverability posture, testing outcomes, recovery risks, validation results, and recovery readiness to business and technology stakeholders.

• Track remediation activities and support continuous improvement initiatives that improve business service recoverability and operational resilience.

• Maintain recovery testing evidence, governance artifacts, audit documentation, and supporting records required for regulatory, compliance, governance, and audit reviews.

• Monitor industry practices, emerging technologies, and regulatory developments and recommend enhancements that strengthen recoverability, operational resilience, and recovery assurance capabilities.

• Support compliance with applicable operational resilience, recovery governance, regulatory, security, and audit requirements, including DORA, SOX, ISO 22301, ISO 27001, ISO 27031, NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-34, and related standards.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in disaster recovery, operational resilience, recovery assurance, business continuity, cloud engineering, platform engineering, site reliability engineering (SRE), infrastructure engineering , data governance, data management, technology risk, or related disciplines
