ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Resiliency & Recovery Engineer is a senior, hands-on engineering role focused on improving production resiliency and recovery outcomes across critical services and payment rails. This role is responsible for driving measurable improvements such as faster recovery (reduced time to restore service), stronger and actionable alert coverage, increased automation to reduce manual toil, and safer releases with repeatable rollback/cutback readiness. The engineer will partner closely with application teams, DevOps, Infrastructure, Database teams, and operational stakeholders to identify resiliency gaps, prioritize remediation, and implement durable solutions that improve stability and reduce customer impact.
- Work across all MMC payment rails to develop faster, more repeatable resiliency and recovery processes that benefit every platform, ensuring these enhancements are adopted broadly across the organization rather than siloed on any single platform.
- Identify resiliency gaps based on incident patterns and recurring failures; turn findings into prioritized remediation work.
- Build/strengthen monitoring, alerting, and dashboards that are actually used by engineers and leadership.
- Create runbooks and automate recovery actions to reduce manual toil and human error during incidents.
- Improve release safety and rollback/fallback readiness (clear, repeatable cutback procedures).
- Support SQL reliability efforts (SQL Server 2022 focus) in partnership with DB/infrastructure teams.
- Owns backlog, prioritization, design reviews, and cross-team coordination (Ops/Product/Tech).
- Runs weekly standup + prepares bi-weekly exec readout.
- Integrate resilience testing into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows to catch issues early and ensure robust, automated releases.
- Conduct chaos engineering experiments (failure injections, game days) to proactively uncover system weaknesses and validate recovery processes under real-world failure scenarios.
- Document and share resiliency best practices; mentor and train engineering teams to foster a culture of reliability and continuous improvement across the organization.
- Ensure a seamless handoff of all newly created resiliency and recovery practices (once mature and repeatable) to the MMC Engineering team by thoroughly documenting the improvements and conducting knowledge transfer, so that the permanent team can sustain and build upon these enhancements after the contract period.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Proven experience in high-availability, high-transaction environments (preferably payments or financial services).
- Strong background in production resiliency and recovery (recovery execution, runbooks/playbooks, RCA mindset).
- Incident pattern analysis + MTTR baselines (P2 Major/Minor) and recurring failure taxonomy (by rail/service).
- Senior-level observability expertise: dashboards, monitors, and alerts (Datadog preferred; similar tools considered).
- Splunk, Datadog, SQLs, JQL Jira Query language, Gitlab.
- Experience of CI / CD metrics and generating code quality, changes, testing automation executives reports from Gitlab.
- Understand quality of stories, metrics, monitoring experiences - help get data to showcase deficiencies.
- Senior CI/CD experience: pipeline design/operation, release safety patterns, and rollback readiness.
- Experience using metrics and monitoring data to identify and communicate deficiencies.
- Automation skills: Python and/or PowerShell (or equivalent) for building repeatable recovery workflows and operational tooling.
- Kubernetes/container platform production troubleshooting (deployments, pods, config drift, safe restarts, and “why did this change break prod” investigations).
- Experience with identity/credentials/certificate & secret-rotation resilience (preventing outages during password rotations, certificate upgrades, and secret propagation; implementing guardrails and monitoring for these events).
- Batch/scheduler/job-execution reliability (detecting/preventing silent job failures, validating multi-DC scenarios, and building controls to ensure scheduled processing does not impact customers).
- Distributed integration failure-handling (timeouts, retries, backpressure, idempotency, duplicate prevention, and reconciliation—especially across vendor/downstream dependencies).
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with SRE-style reliability practices (SLO/SLI thinking, error budgets, operational metrics).
- Experience with failover / DC flip / active-active or active-passive recovery concepts and scenario-based runbooks.
- Cloud Engineering (Azure, AWS).
- DevOps tools expertise (Jenkins, Terraform, Sonar Cube, Helm Charts).
- Network & traffic-management incident triage (load balancers/firewalls/VLAN changes, DC traffic flips, and rapid isolation of “app vs infra vs network” to stabilize service).
COMPENSATION
- A highly competitive compensation and benefits package.
- A multinational organization with 58 offices in 21 countries and the possibility to work abroad.
- 10 days of paid annual leave (plus sick leave and national holidays).
- Maternity & paternity leave plans.
- A comprehensive insurance plan including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and long-/short-term disability (plans vary by region).
- Retirement savings plans.
- A higher education certification policy.
- Commuter benefits (varies by region).
- Extensive training opportunities, focused on skills, substantive knowledge, and personal development.
- On-demand Udemy for Business for all Synechron employees with free access to more than 5000 curated courses.
- Coaching opportunities with experienced colleagues from our Financial Innovation Labs (FinLabs) and Center of Excellences (CoE) groups.
- Cutting edge projects at the world’s leading tier-one banks, financial institutions and insurance firms.
- A flat and approachable organization.
- A truly diverse, fun-loving, and global work culture.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Cybersecurity Jobs at Synechron Jobs
Align your certifications to Synechron's client base
Synechron serves financial services firms, so certifications like CISSP, CISM, or CompTIA Security+ carry more weight than general IT credentials. Prioritize credentials that signal readiness for regulated-industry security work before you apply.
Target roles that map to your visa category
Synechron sponsors H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT and CPT, so identify which visa fits your current status before reaching out. A TN candidate in a security analyst role has a different sponsorship path than an F-1 graduate on OPT, and framing your application correctly matters.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Cybersecurity roles
Search Synechron's active Cybersecurity listings directly on Migrate Mate, which filters for visa-sponsoring employers. Applying to open roles signals active hiring intent and increases your chance of reaching a recruiter with sponsorship authority.
Start OPT paperwork before your program ends
If you're on F-1 OPT, your employment authorization has a fixed window. Request your EAD from your DSO well before graduation, since USCIS processing can take two to three months, and Synechron will need valid work authorization before your start date.
Prepare for a security clearance or background screening conversation
Synechron's financial services clients often require background checks that go beyond standard HR screening. Have your employment history, education documents, and any prior U.S. visa records organized before the offer stage so delays don't stall your sponsorship filing.
Understand the H-1B cap timeline if you're not already counted
H-1B registrations open in March for an October 1 start date. If you're not currently in H-1B status, time your Synechron offer conversations to align with USCIS's annual registration window so your employer can file without waiting another year.

Does Synechron sponsor H-1B visas for Cybersecurity roles?
Yes, Synechron sponsors H-1B visas for Cybersecurity positions. The company has a consistent sponsorship track record in this function, particularly for roles tied to financial technology and consulting engagements. If you're subject to the H-1B cap, your sponsorship window aligns with USCIS's annual March registration period and an October 1 start date.
Which visa types does Synechron commonly use for Cybersecurity positions?
Synechron sponsors H-1B and employment-based Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for Cybersecurity professionals. The company also supports F-1 OPT and CPT for recent graduates, and TN status for eligible Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying security roles. The right pathway depends on your current immigration status and the specific position.
How do I apply for Cybersecurity jobs at Synechron?
Browse open Cybersecurity roles at Synechron on Migrate Mate, which lists positions from employers with confirmed sponsorship activity. Apply directly to active listings and tailor your resume to highlight experience relevant to financial services security environments. Synechron recruits for both consulting-facing and internal security functions, so read each job description carefully before applying.
What qualifications does Synechron expect for Cybersecurity roles?
Synechron typically looks for a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a closely related field, since these roles must qualify as specialty occupations under H-1B standards. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH, or CompTIA Security+ strengthen your profile, especially for roles supporting clients in banking and financial services.
How long does the sponsorship and visa filing process take at Synechron?
For H-1B, the timeline runs from USCIS registration in March through lottery results, then petition filing before October 1. USCIS standard processing takes three to five months, though premium processing can reduce this to a few weeks. For OPT extensions or TN status, timelines are shorter, but coordinate with your employer's HR team early to avoid gaps in work authorization.
