Senior IT Infrastructure Resilience Engineer

Are you looking to joinas IT Infrastructure Resilience Engineer? We are currently seeking a hands-on IT Infrastructure Resilience Engineer to strengthen the resilience, recoverability, and operational stability of our core infrastructure and critical banking services.

Your role:

You will work across Windows and Linux, physical and virtual infrastructure, network & security fundamentals, backup/restore and disaster recovery, monitoring/observability, and automation. You will collaborate with application teams, Security, , business lines, and managed service partners to design, build, automate, and continuously improve technical and operational controls that keep services available, recoverable, observable, and secure , while ensuring evidence and documentation meet DORA / DNB / EBA expectations.

You will drive Business Continuity and DR by coordinating recovery planning and exercises, aligning RTO/RPO and runbooks with business requirements, and steering vendors to deliver high-quality outcomes against SLAs/KPIs in a regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Network Resilience & Security Fundamentals

• Support and improve network resilience: LAN/WAN basics, segmentation, firewalls, VPN, load balancers, redundancy concepts.( e.g Cisco switches , F5 , Palo Alto , Fortinet)

• Apply security best practices: hardening, patching discipline, logging/monitoring integration, and audit evidence mindset.

Resilience Engineering

• Design and improve resilient infrastructure patterns (redundancy, failover, clustering, active-active/active-passive, elimination of SPOFs).

• Participate in major incidents, lead structured troubleshooting, perform RCA, and drive permanent improvements.

Virtualization & Compute Platform Resilience

• Operate and improve virtualization platforms and HA concepts (e.g., VMware vSphere/ESXi/vCenter; Hyper-V;).

• Manage clusters, templates, migration (vMotion/Live Migration), snapshot policies, patching/upgrades, and performance troubleshooting.

• Improve recovery procedures for critical workloads on virtual platforms.

Backup, Restore & Cyber Recovery

• Continuously improve backup/restore capability across infrastructure and databases (e.g Commvault, Azure; MS SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL): policies, job health/monitoring, retention, encryption and immutability and operational procedures.

• Ensure restore validation beyond “backup successful” by performing periodic recovery tests for systems and databases with documented results and audit-ready evidence.

• Partner with  Corporate Security Team  on cyber recovery: ransomware-oriented restore validation, secure recovery procedures for both infrastructure and database platforms, and hardening of backup access and recovery workflows.

DR & Business Continuity

• Own end-to-end DR & BC readiness for critical services: define recovery steps, validate dependencies, maintain runbooks/playbooks and operational procedures, and keep documentation current and usable during real incidents.

• Drive governance and impact assessment: coordinate BC committees/forums, lead/support BIAs with business/service owners, validate RTO/RPO targets, and translate outcomes into recovery priorities, controls, and tracked actions.

• Plan and execute DR tests and crisis simulations (technical/operational and tabletop): coordinate stakeholders, scenarios and communications, and ensure results, gaps, evidence, and remediation are traceable, measurable, and audit-ready.

Banking Application Infrastructure

• Support onboarding and lifecycle of critical banking applications (SWIFT, screening, payments) from an infrastructure perspective.

• Ensure non-functional requirements: availability, recoverability, monitoring, patching readiness, secure access patterns, and change readiness.

Physical Server & Datacenter Technologies

• Hands-on support for physical server lifecycle: provisioning, firmware/BIOS baselines, RAID/storage configuration, diagnostics, break/fix coordination, and decommissioning.

• Work with enterprise server/desktops platforms (e.g., HPE ProLiant) and management interfaces.

• Improve datacenter resilience patterns: dual power, redundant networking, out-of-band management, and hardware health monitoring.

Observability, Reporting & Automation

• Build
