Regeneron is seeking an IT Disaster Recovery (DR) Architecture & Engineering Lead to mature and scale our global DR and resilience capabilities. With a decade of infrastructure-operations experience—including at least five years defining DR architectures and engineering standards—you will develop technical strategy, champion Tier 0 (core-infrastructure) recoverability, and deliver innovative solutions across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Your leadership will ensure that Regeneron’s critical systems remain available, secure, and compliant as the organization continues to grow.

Success in this role hinges on deep technical expertise, strategic vision, and the ability to collaborate across engineering, application, and business teams in a highly regulated life-sciences' setting.

In this role, a typical day might include the following:

- Driving Tier 0 resiliency roadmaps — compute, storage, network, cloud, security, and automation frameworks

- Representing DR at Solution Design Engineering Reviews to embed recovery standards into every new or changed system

- Authoring recovery architectures for cyber-resilience, including offline/ransomware-protection strategies

- Leading enterprise-wide tabletop and hands-on recovery tests; analyzing results and closing gaps

- Developing RFPs and evaluating innovative technologies to improve recovery speed, scale, and automation

This job might be for you if you:

- Thrive on translating sophisticated technical challenges into practical, scalable recovery solutions

- Enjoy partnering with diverse teams in a matrix environment to influence architecture decisions

- Communicate crisply with engineers, executives, and vendors—tailoring your message to each audience

- Stay calm and decisive while directing high-pressure recovery events or cyber-incident responses

- Relish process improvement and leverage infrastructure-as-code, automation, and multi-cloud design

- Value compliance and quality in a pharmaceutical manufacturing context

In order to be considered for this role, you must have:

- 10+ years of IT infrastructure operations experience, and 5+ years leading enterprise DR architecture/engineering initiatives

- Expert knowledge of DR tools, VMware HA/SRM, multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) design, cloud recovery architectures, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).

- Working familiarity with zero-trust concepts.

- Proven ability to lead recovery testing, influence stakeholders across levels, and perform command-and-control leadership during planned and unplanned events.

- A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or related field is preferred.
