Technology Resilience Architect

**Responsibilities**:What will you contribute?As a key member of the Technology Resilience (aka Disaster Recovery) team, the Technology Resilience Architect is responsible for defining, driving and delivering the integrated roadmap of improvements that assists in the evolution from a team of DR test coordinators, to a team that is constantly improving the probability of successful service recovery of our Clients’ managed service products with new tests, methods, tools and processes.The Technology Resilience team has traditionally been responsible for the planning, coordination, execution governance and reporting of Disaster Recovery tests. This is now being refined, enhanced, and expanded with a programme of improvements delivered using agile approaches. The Technology Resilience Architect will be key to the success during this transition and beyond where processes will be more clearly defined, streamlined, documented and implemented; Disaster Recovery tests will be consolidated, automated and move towards whole Data Center failovers; regulator commitments will be met and clearly articulated; and enhanced methods for demonstrating technology resilience (beyond Disaster Recovery testing and likely into fault injection and chaos engineering) will be defined, designed and implemented.The Technology Resilience Architect will work collaboratively with management, the Technology Resilience Technical and Team Leaders, Architecture Practices, the process excellence analyst, the agile coach, scrum masters and technical staff to ensure that the set of all process objectives and goals progress in unison and that no aspects fall by the wayside - i.e. that both the Business As Usual and the strategic improvements progress simultaneously.Responsibilities & Deliverables:Your deliverables as the Technology Resilience Architect will include, but are not limited to, the following:- Planning, designing, rationalizing and optimizing infrastructure and platforms, including hardware, operating systems, database management systems, containerization, cloud native, network and security, in support of the technology resilience of our managed service products and related services- Defining and implementing the frameworks and delivery processes that drive standardization across Technology Resilience and Disaster Recovery architecture engagements and deliverables- Creation, maintenance, publication and evangelism of roadmaps that integrate the improvements across various areas of Technology Resilience - sequenced by value aligned priority- Working closely with other Architects, Developers, Product Managers and Program Managers; and may provide support to more senior staff to ensure the designs align with the technological and business directions of the enterprise- Ensuring the solutions developed comply with relevant regulations, internal architectural standards, and internal security and data assessments- Maintaining the deployment architectures and designs, including creating and delivering against the architecture roadmap for the solutions- Supporting cost modelling for solution architectures developed and maintaining cost models in-line with changes to the deployment architectures- Support the activities of the Technology Resilience Team Members that do the planning, coordination, automation, designing, and reporting supporting Disaster Recovery testing and associated Technology Resilience activities- Ensure that the set of all objectives and goals progress in unison and that no aspects fall by the wayside - i.e. that both the Business As Usual and the strategic improvements progress simultaneously- Guide teams to a culture of focus, improving the organization of their work by supporting the Scrum Master through their sprint planning and reviews throughout a project life cycle- Support the Scrum Master’s facilitation of all standard Scrum/agile cadence practices including Daily Stand Up, Sprint Planning, Release Planning, Sprint Retrospective, and Backlog refinement activities- Validating proposals are aligned with the defined solution architecture including the service level agreements, sizing criteria and cost modelling- Supporting Sales and Marketing with collateral that explains, evangelizes and supports the technology resilience architecture definition, including maintaining RFP responses- Create reports, charts, graphs and presentations to aid in proposing new strategies for successful service delivery improvements - i.e. how we ensure service recoverability- Develop project estimates by identifying phases and elements, personnel requirements, and costs- Form partnerships across departments to streamline work processes and improve the speed at which the company can respond to and capitalize on opportunities- Lead by example and support an environment that empowers and energizes team members, with a focus on accountability, adaptability, and collaboration- Monitor and report on Technology Resi
