About BlinkRx:

BlinkRx is rebuilding how Americans access life-changing medicines. Today, only one in five prescriptions for new branded therapies are ever filled. The problem isn't the medicine. It's insurance barriers, affordability challenges, fragmented pharmacy experiences, and inadequate support that keep patients from starting and staying on treatment. Our mission is to change that.

We built RxOS, the first AI-powered prescription operating system. RxOS connects the largest network of doctors, patients, pharmacies, payers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers, intelligently orchestrating every step to guarantee a seamless prescription journey for every script.

Our teams solve complex, high-stakes problems at the intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare operations, logistics, payments, and regulation. The impact is transformative: BlinkRx more than doubles the rate at which patients take their medications and lowers their out-of-pocket expenses by hundreds of dollars every month.

BlinkRx created and leads a rapidly growing $80+ billion category, with exceptional momentum:

-

Built for scale: Over the past decade, we have invested nearly $1 billion in building the technology and operational platform required to serve patients at scale.

-

Proven growth and economics: We have grown 100% annually for the past five years, are profitable, and support more than 60 pharmaceutical brands.

-

Trusted with category-defining programs: Our technology powers a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer’s direct-to-patient platform for its GLP-1 portfolio, providing the infrastructure to expand patient access as demand for these therapies grows.

We are a dynamic team of technologists and industry experts seeking to build a generational company that delivers a genuine step change in American health.

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
