Senior Lead Technology Resiliency Engineer

About this role: Wells Fargo is seeking a Senior Technology Resiliency Engineer We are building a team of senior technology resiliency engineers to define and shape the future of how technology operates at scale within a global financial institution. This role is responsible for designing, influencing, and embedding enterprise‑wide resiliency strategies across platforms, applications, infrastructure, and operating models. The Senior Technology Resiliency Engineer will partner closely with engineering, architecture, risk, cyber security, operations, and business leadership to ensure critical services are resilient by design, aligned to regulatory expectations, and capable of operating through severe but plausible disruption scenarios. This role requires deep technical expertise, strong systems thinking, and the ability to influence at VP/MD level—bridging engineering reality with strategic intent. In this role, you will:

Enterprise Resiliency Strategy & Design Define and evolve the enterprise technology resiliency strategy, aligned to business critical services, regulatory expectations, and long‑term technology roadmaps Establish resiliency design principles and patterns for cloud, hybrid, and on‑prem platforms (e.g., multi‑region, multi‑AZ, active/active, degradation strategies) Influence architecture decisions to ensure resiliency, recoverability, and operability are built in from inception—not retrofitted Partner with enterprise and domain architects to embed resiliency requirements into standards, reference architectures, and engineering practices   Critical Services & Operational Resilience Support identification and mapping of Important Business Services and underpinning technology dependencies Translate business impact tolerances into actionable technology recovery objectives (RTO, RPO, MTO) Assess end‑to‑end service resilience, identifying single points of failure across applications, data, infrastructure, vendors, and people Drive remediation strategies for material resiliency gaps, balancing risk reduction with real‑world delivery constraints   Engineering & Platform Engagement Act as a trusted advisor to engineering teams on fault tolerance, high availability, disaster recovery, and graceful degradation Review major platform and system designs from a resiliency and operability perspective Promote modern resiliency practices such as: Chaos engineering and failure injection Automation‑first recovery Observability and service‑level indicators Immutable infrastructure and infrastructure‑as‑code Guide the adoption of resiliency tooling and metrics at scale   Incident Preparedness, Testing & Learning Shape the firm’s approach to resilience testing, including scenario‑based testing, disaster recovery exercises, and severe‑but‑plausible events Design and participate in enterprise simulation exercises involving technology and business stakeholders Drive a culture of continuous learning through post‑incident analysis focused on systemic improvement rather than blame Ensure lessons learned feed directly into architecture, standards, and engineering practices   Governance, Risk & Regulatory Alignment Partner with Risk, Compliance, and Audit to ensure resiliency practices meet internal policy and external regulatory expectations Contribute to regulatory responses, exams, and remediation programs related to operational and technology resilience Help define meaningful, decision‑useful resiliency metrics and management reporting Act as a senior point of expertise during regulatory discussions related to technology resilience   Leadership & Influence Serve as a subject‑matter leader within the resiliency engineering community Mentor junior engineers and help build resiliency engineering as a distinct capability Influence senior technology leadership by articulating complex technical risk in clear business terms Contribute to the long‑term evolution of the
