Narrative:
We were following a 757 on the TYNEE2 into rsw. The 757 was approximately 12-15 miles in front of us. We were both given to cross ogger at FL270. We were given a max speed of 300 kts. We started our descent before the 757. As we were coming through FL280 we started to feel some light turbulence; then all of a sudden the plane banked hard to the right; I'm approximating at least 30 degrees. The autopilot kicked off and [the other pilot] grabbed the yoke and brought the aircraft back to level/descent flight. We leveled off at FL270; turned the autopilot back on & notified ATC of the wake turbulence.
