Full Job Description
**Role Overview:** The Application SME is responsible for ensuring application and database readiness for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR), with a strong focus on automation. The role drives application-level DR strategy, execution, and documentation, while acting as the key interface between application teams and the DR Automation function to ensure seamless, reliable, and fully orchestrated failover and failback. **Key Responsibilities** **1\. Application DR Strategy & Planning** · Own the application and database DR strategy, including failover and failback planning. · Define application-specific DR requirements, including: o Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) o Startup/shutdown sequencing o Data integrity and consistency requirements · Continuously review and optimize application-layer RTOs through automation capabilities. **2\. DR Automation Integration** · Collaborate with application owners, system administrators, and DBAs to design automated failover processes across applications and databases (all DB technologies). · Ensure end-to-end automation of application and database recovery tasks, eliminating manual intervention during both planned and unplanned DR events. · Act as the primary bridge between application teams and the DR Automation team, ensuring alignment and seamless integration. · Review and validate automated failover/failback workflows to ensure accuracy, sequencing, and dependency handling. · Drive development and validation of data collection templates to ensure all required DR inputs are captured and validated during workshops. **3\. Dependency Management & Runbook Alignment** · Ensure accurate mapping of application, database, and infrastructure dependencies, including inter-application relationships. · Validate that startup/shutdown sequences and dependency mapping are correctly reflected in automation workflows and runbooks. · Regularly review Application and Database sections of DR Plans (DRPs) to ensure alignment with automat
