Senior Cloud Resilience Architect

About this role

Company Overview:

Blink Health is the fastest growing healthcare technology company that builds products to make prescriptions accessible and affordable to everybody. Our two primary products – BlinkRx and Quick Save – remove traditional roadblocks within the current prescription supply chain, resulting in better access to critical medications and improved health outcomes for patients.

BlinkRx is the world’s first pharma-to-patient cloud that offers a digital concierge service for patients who are prescribed branded medications. Patients benefit from transparent low prices, free home delivery, and world-class support on this first-of-its-kind centralized platform. With BlinkRx, never again will a patient show up at the pharmacy only to discover that they can’t afford their medication, their doctor needs to fill out a form for them, or the pharmacy doesn’t have the medication in stock.

We are a highly collaborative team of builders and operators who invent new ways of working in an industry that historically has resisted innovation. Join us!

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and mature the organization’s disaster recovery posture, including recovery objectives (RTO/RPO), dependency mapping, and failure domain analysis across applications, data, and infrastructure.

• Define, document, and establish disaster recovery standards and best practices across cloud infrastructure, platforms, and application architectures.

• Partner with SRE, platform, security, and product engineering teams to design and implement resilient, fault-tolerant systems, progressing from backup-based recovery to multi-region and active-active architectures.

• Lead the disaster recovery roadmap, balancing technical feasibility, cost, risk, and business priorities.

• Design and recommend reference architectures for disaster recovery patterns, including pilot-light, warm standby, hot standby, and active-active.

• Drive adoption of active-active disaster recovery for critical systems, including traffic management, data replication, consistency models, and automated failover.

• Define and operationalize testing strategies for DR, including game days, chaos testing, and regular recovery exercises.

• Establish clear documentation, runbooks, and escalation paths to ensure recoverability is well understood and not dependent on individuals.

• Evaluate and recommend platform upgrades, cloud services, and tooling that improve resilience, recovery speed, and reliability.

• Serve as a technical authority and advisor on disaster recovery and resilience for leadership and engineering teams.

• Provide architectural guidance, design reviews, and mentorship to engineers implementing DR-related changes.

• Partner with security and compliance teams to ensure DR strategies meet regulatory, audit, and data protection requirements.

Desired Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

• 8+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, SRE, or reliability-focused architecture roles.

Disaster Recovery & Resilience

• Deep understanding of disaster recovery concepts including RTO/RPO, blast radius reduction, failure domains, and dependency isolation.

• Proven experience designing and implementing multi-region and multi-availability zone architectures.

• Hands-on experience moving systems toward active-active or highly available architectures.

• Strong grasp of data replication strategies, consistency tradeoffs, and recovery patterns for databases and stateful systems.

Cloud & Platform Engineering

• Extensive experience with major cloud providers (AWS preferred, GCP/Azure acceptable).

• Strong understanding of managed cloud services and their DR characteristics and limitations.

• Experience with Kubernetes-based platforms, including regional failover, workload portability, and cluster recovery strategies.

• Familiarity with global traffic management, DNS, load balancing, and service mesh patterns.
