This role contributes by helping define the reliability expectations that services must meet, guiding application teams through resilient architecture and design choices, and creating repeatable evidence that critical services can tolerate realistic failure modes. Because the team is still small, the candidate must be able to work independently, lead complex technical work with limited guidance, and influence application-owning teams without direct authority.\nAll roles require digital fluency, including the ability to work with emerging technologies such as Generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot) to support everyday work.\nThe Reliability & Resilience Engineering squad works to improve the reliability and resilience of the services sold to customers. The team provides subject matter expertise in chaos engineering, reliability standards, resilience design, observability, and continuous reliability improvement. This consultant-level role is expected to operate as a high-autonomy technical owner within the function, creating clarity from ambiguity and translating business reliability goals into practical engineering standards, experiments, technical guidance, and improvement plans.\nKey Responsibilities:\nOwn complex resilience engineering work across priority services.\nDesign, plan, conduct, and report on controlled chaos experiments and game days.\nEstablish repeatable chaos testing patterns.\nDefine reliability and resilience standards.\nTranslate incidents, observed failure modes, SLO misses, and experiment findings into actionable engineering improvements.\nProvide architecture and system-design guidance to application teams, especially around circuit breakers, load shedding, timeouts, retries, dependency isolation, graceful degradation, observability, alerting, and failure containment.\nAuthor technical design documents, experiment plans, standards, post-experiment reports, and improvement proposals.\nMentor engineers through design reviews, technical guidance, and hands-on support to raise the reliability capability of the teams they work with.\nDeliver documented resilience standards, reusable experiment templates, clear production readiness criteria, completed pilot experiments, prioritised remediation backlogs, and measurable improvements in the resilience posture of selected customer-critical services.\nThis is a remoteposition.
