Staff Cyber Resilience Engineer
Xometry is seeking a Staff Cyber Resilience Engineer to lead the defense against critical cyber threats, including ransomware, destructive wipes, and large-scale data loss. This hands-on technical leadership role involves designing and engineering an Isolated Recovery Environment, standardizing Infrastructure as Code practices, and ensuring rapid restoration of operations in the event of an AWS environment compromise. The successful candidate will collaborate with a high-caliber engineering team, influence security architecture, and lead comprehensive recovery exercises.
Key responsibilities include designing and building a hardened AWS account with immutable vaults to disrupt potential attack chains, conducting threat modeling to understand cloud-native attack patterns, and continuously validating backup configurations to ensure data recoverability. The role also involves leading the transition to 100% Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, developing automated recovery workflows, and creating executable recovery playbooks. Additionally, the engineer will develop automated scripts in Python or Go to test recovered data integrity and lead regular recovery drills simulating critical environment losses.
The ideal candidate will have over 8 years of experience in complex cloud environments, with at least 3 years focused on AWS. Strong skills in Terraform for modularizing complex environments, hands-on experience with the Secure Vault pattern for data protection, and proficiency in advanced shell scripting and either Python or Go are essential. Experience with CI/CD tooling to enable recovery pipelines and a proven ability to engineer and automate end-to-end restoration workflows are also required. Preferred qualifications include experience leading technical recovery efforts from actual cyber incidents, familiarity with chaos engineering tools, knowledge of NIST SP 800-34 or similar frameworks, and AWS Security Specialty certification.
The estimated base salary range for this role is $205,000 to $233,000 annually, with additional annual bonuses based on job-related skills, experience, and location. Xometry offers a competitive benefits package, including a 401(k) match, medical, dental, and vision insurance, life and disability insurance, generous paid time off, maternity and bonding leave, and various wellbeing resources. This position is designated as hybrid, offering flexibility between remote and on-site work.
