Job Description
Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life. Xometry's digital marketplace gives manufacturers the critical resources they need to grow their business while also making it easy for buyers at Fortune 1000 companies to tap into global manufacturing capacity.
We're looking for aStaff Cyber Resilience Engineer to lead our defense against the attacks that matter most: ransomware, destructive wipes, and data loss at scale. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will own the design and engineering of our Isolated Recovery Environment, set the standard for Infrastructure as Code across the organization, and ensure that if our AWS environment is ever compromised, we can restore operations with certainty and speed.
You will work with a high-caliber engineering team, have direct influence on our security architecture, and lead recovery exercises that test the organization end-to-end.
How You'll Contribute:
Own Our Recovery Architecture
Design and build our Isolated Recovery Environment - a hardened AWS account with immutable vaults that break the attacker's kill chain before it reaches our data
Threat m odel our environment with a deep understanding of cloud-native attack patterns: IAM privilege escalation, backup deletion, ransomware persistence, and lateral movement across accounts
Validate and continuously improve backup configurations to ensure recoverability, not just existence
Standardize and Automate Infrastructure
Lead our transition to 100% Infrastructure as Code. Every asset (VPCs, IAM roles, security groups) must be defined in Terraform so we can redeploy the entire stack into a clean account via automated pipeline
Build automated recovery workflows that can tear down a compromised environment and bootstrap a fresh, hardened one from verified code and clean data
Write and maintain executable recovery playbooks that detail the exact API calls and CLI commands needed to restore the application - tested, versioned, and runnable, not static documents
Validate, Test, and Lead Exercises
Develop automated scripts (Python or Go) to smoke test recovered data and validate integrity post-restoration
Lead regular hands-on recovery drills that simulate total loss of a critical environment and full recovery into a secondary clean account. Own the after-action process and drive improvements
Drive Engineering Standards
Act as the resilience authority for the engineering organization - shaping high-availability architecture decisions, influencing design reviews, and raising the floor on how we think about recoverability
Partner with the Site Reliability Engineering team on multi-region deployments and high-availability design, ensuring cyber resilience is embedded in architecture from the start
Champion IaC and immutable infrastructure practices across teams, not just within your own workstream
What You'll Bring to Xometry:
8+ years of experience in complex cloud environments (any of AWS/GCP/Azure), including at least 3 years in AWS. EKS/Kubernetes experience is a strong plus
Strong Terraform skills. You should be able to modularize complex environments so they are environment-agnostic
Hands-on familiarity with the Secure Vault pattern: protecting data in a separate, highly restricted AWS account with tight network controls
Advanced shell scripting and proficiency in either Python or Go to automate restoration tasks that native AWS tooling doesn't cover
Experience with CI/CD tooling (Scalr, GitHub Actions, or equivalent) to enable broad adoption of recovery pipelines across the organization
Proven ability to engineer and automate end-to-end restoration workflows
Preferred:
Hands-on experience leading technical recovery efforts from an actual cyber attack or destructive incident
Experience with chaos engineering tooling to stress-test recovery assumptions
Familiarity with NIST SP 800-34 (Contingency Planning) or similar frameworks
AWS Security Specialty certification or equivalent demonstrated expertise
The estimated base salary range for new hires into this role is $205,000- $233,000 annually + bonus depending on factors such as job-related skills, relevant experience, and location. We also offer a competitive benefits package, including 401(k) match, medical, dental and vision insurance; life and disability insurance; generous paid time off including vacation, sick leave, floating and fixed holidays, maternity and bonding leave; EAP, other wellbeing resources; and much more.
