We are seeking a **Technical** **Risk Engineer** with strong technical acumen to design, prioritize, and enable **risk-reducing technical solutions** across complex cloud and enterprise environments. This role emphasizes **solution engineering over process engineering** -using risk frameworks, policies, and controls as inputs to architect practical, automatable, and scalable technical safeguards.

The ideal candidate thinks like an engineer first and a risk professional second: someone who understands how systems fail, how controls can be enforced through code and architecture, and how risk intent is translated into resilient technical designs.

**Key Responsibilities**

+ Engineer **technical risk solutions** that reduce operational, cyber, and resilience risk through architecture, automation, and control design.

+ Translate **risk requirements, policies, and standards** into implementable technical patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures.

+ Prioritize and influence **solution design decisions** based on risk impact, blast radius, and recovery dependencies.

+ Partner with platform, cloud, security, and SRE teams to embed risk controls directly into infrastructure and pipelines.

+ Evaluate control effectiveness using **technical signals and evidence** , not just procedural compliance.

+ Support initiatives such as secure cloud architecture, isolated recovery environments, identity and access hardening, and infrastructure resilience.

+ Provide technical guidance on **risk tradeoffs** , recovery sequencing, and dependency-aware system design.

+ Contribute to lightweight process definition where needed-but always in service of enabling better technical outcomes.

**Preferred Technical Skills**

+ **Cloud Platforms:** Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

+ **Automation & API Development:** Proficiency in Python or Java and Ansible for scripting, with hands-on experience in API development (RESTful)

+ **Infrastructure as Code:** Terraform (required)

+ **Data & Analytics:** GCP BigQuery, Power BI (or similar) to visualize risk posture & evidence.

+ **Backup, recovery, and resilience** solution architectures

+ **Isolated Recovery Environment** **(IRE)** design and implementation in GCP

+ **Supporting Knowledge (nice to have):**

+ GRC and/or Security Domain expertise

+ CI/CD pipelines and policy-as-code

+ Cloud IAM, networking, and control planes

+ Observability, logging, and evidence automation

+ GRC Platforms: Archer, ServiceNow

+ ITIL-based IT Service Management (ITSM)

+ Familiarity with Agentic AI Frameworks

**Required Qualifications**

+ Requires a bachelor's or foreign equivalent degree in computer science, information technology or a technology related field

+ 7+ years in IT operations & engineering, security engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or technical risk roles

+ **Backup, recovery, and resilience** solution architecture implementations, especially IRE's.

+ Proven ability to **design and influence technical solutions** across teams

+ Strong understanding of how risk manifests in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and automation

+ Comfortable operating between engineering teams and risk stakeholders

+ Ability to explain complex technical risk concepts to non-technical audiences without losing fidelity
