As a Senior Staff Engineer on the Fault Tolerance & Disaster Recovery team, you will provide technical leadership for fault-tolerant orchestration at enterprise scale. You will own the long-term technical direction for the company's orchestration platform, specifically focusing on failover, rebuild, and restore workflows across hundreds of systems. Your daily responsibilities include defining orchestration patterns, establishing standards for modeling failure, retries, timeouts, and compensations, and mentoring other engineers in distributed systems thinking. You will navigate complex architectural tradeoffs to balance reliability with operability while serving as a high-level technical escalation point. The role requires expertise in large-scale distributed systems, durable execution, and workflow orchestration. You will solve critical problems regarding how the organization designs for predictable behavior under stress and manages systemic reliability risks across diverse application architectures and varying maturity levels.
