Platform Engineer Lead - Disaster Recovery and Resiliency

Platform Engineer Lead – AWS Disaster Recovery & Resiliency

As a Platform Engineer Lead – AWS Resiliency, Disaster Recovery & Testing, you will serve as a technical leader responsible for designing, implementing, and operationalizing AWS‑first resiliency and disaster recovery capabilities across Capital Group’s technology environment. You will develop, implement, and maintain resiliency frameworks and capabilities that application teams can consume through automated product offerings and repeatable patterns to validate disaster recovery readiness and support critical business outcomes.

You will partner with infrastructure, platform engineering, and application teams to design and implement AWS‑based resiliency solutions, scripts, templates, and automated workflows that enable scalable disaster recovery capabilities. This includes automation for resiliency elements such as disaster recovery provisioning and scaling, configuration management, monitoring and observability, resyncing and reconciliation, and recovery testing.

You will lead disaster recovery testing programs and recovery exercises within AWS environments, partnering closely with project managers, technical leads, architects, and business stakeholders to identify threat scenarios, assess impacts, design testing solutions, validate recovery objectives, and strengthen operational resilience. You will perform detailed evaluations of platform and application resiliency readiness to identify areas of concern.

You will lead regular disaster recovery testing, failover exercises, resiliency validation activities, monitoring, and reporting. You will establish repeatable testing frameworks, identify gaps through testing outcomes, and drive continuous improvement initiatives across AWS and hybrid environments.

You can design and implement data‑collecting scripts, implement and maintain monitoring tools, and develop front‑end dashboards to monitor the health, performance, and utilization of Capital’s recovery environment to enable prompt response when signs dictate.

You will support Global Risk and their requirements to report to regulators on our disaster recovery effort.
