Senior Technical Risk Engineer

Job description

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 effecti...
