Job Title: Principal Cyber Recovery Engineer / Technical Product Owner (Contract-to-Hire)
Position Overview
We are seeking a Principal Cyber Recovery Engineer / Technical Product Owner for a critical, high-priority contract-to-hire role focused on establishing and operationalizing a comprehensive Cyber Recovery Program.
This role requires a unique individual who combines technical expertise, product ownership, and strategic business acumen. The ideal candidate will act as a recovery architect and program driver, capable of translating complex technical concepts for business stakeholders while designing and implementing scalable cyber recovery processes and governance frameworks.
Rather than managing disaster recovery on a project-by-project basis, this role will help design and mature a sustainable enterprise cyber recovery capability, integrating cyber controls, IT governance, and operational resiliency.
Key Responsibilities
Cyber Recovery Program Development
Lead the design and implementation of an enterprise Cyber Recovery strategy and operating model.
Establish standardized processes, controls, and governance to support a sustainable cyber recovery program.
Develop recovery frameworks that integrate disaster recovery, cybersecurity controls, and IT resiliency practices.
Define recovery objectives, operational procedures, and risk mitigation strategies.
Technical Product Ownership
Act as the technical product owner for cyber recovery initiatives, translating strategic objectives into executable workstreams.
Define roadmaps, priorities, and deliverables aligned with enterprise security and resilience goals.
Partner with engineering teams to implement recovery capabilities across infrastructure, applications, and data platforms.
Architecture & Technical Strategy
Provide architectural guidance for cyber recovery environments, backup strategies, and secure recovery infrastructure.
Evaluate recovery technologies and tools while ensuring alignment with security standards and enterprise architecture.
Ensure recovery capabilities support critical business systems and regulatory requirements.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner with security, infrastructure, cloud, platform, and application teams to embed recovery capabilities into enterprise systems.
Work closely with business leaders and risk teams to align recovery strategies with operational priorities.
Facilitate cross-team discussions to address dependencies, risks, and operational readiness.
Governance & Process Development
Develop and implement cyber recovery policies, procedures, and governance models.
Define metrics and reporting frameworks to track recovery readiness and operational resilience.
Support enterprise cyber resilience initiatives and regulatory compliance requirements.
Communication & Stakeholder Engagement
Translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders and leadership.
Present program strategy, progress, and risks to executive and cross-functional audiences.
Drive organizational alignment around cyber recovery priorities and investments.
Required Qualifications
10 years of experience in cybersecurity, disaster recovery, infrastructure architecture, or enterprise resiliency roles.
Experience leading enterprise cyber recovery or disaster recovery programs.
Strong understanding of IT infrastructure, cloud platforms, security controls, and backup/recovery technologies.
Demonstrated ability to act as a technical product owner, architect, or program leader in complex environments.
Experience building process frameworks, governance models, and operational programs.
Strong ability to bridge technical and business audiences and communicate complex topics clearly.
Experience working across multiple technical domains including cloud, infrastructure, security, and enterprise platforms.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with cyber resilience frameworks (NIST, CIS, ISO, etc.).
Background in cyber recovery vaults, immutable backups, or ransomware recovery architectures.
Experience working in regulated industries or large enterprise environments.
Prior experience in technical product ownership or program leadership roles.
Key Characteristics (The “Unicorn” Profile)
Strategic thinker with strong technical depth and business perspective
Process-driven and capable of building programs from the ground up
Comfortable operating across security, IT, architecture, and business stakeholders
Able to translate complex technical challenges into clear, actionable strategies
