Join Vultr

Vultr is seeking a Manager of Production Site Reliability Engineering to build and lead a new team responsible for the availability, performance, and operability of our production control plane. This is the environment that runs our customer-facing web applications and the internal platform that supports them. You will own the day-to-day operations of this environment: incident response, monitoring and alerting, configuration management, capacity planning, and the ongoing re-architecture of the control plane for continued scale. This is both a technical and a people leadership role. You will hire, grow, and lead a team of SREs and database engineers, set the operational culture, and partner closely with engineering teams across the organization to ensure the production environment is reliable, observable, and ready for the next phase of Vultr's growth.

Key Responsibilities

Build and lead the Production Site Reliability Engineering team: hire, mentor, and grow a team of SREs and database engineers responsible for the production control plane

Own the availability, performance, and operability of the production web stack

Lead incident response for production-impacting events; drive postmortems and turn lessons into durable system improvements, runbooks, and alerting

Own configuration management for the production environment, ensuring consistent, repeatable, and auditable infrastructure across all control plane hosts

Partner with engineering teams across the organization to ensure new services are production-ready: observable, deployable, and documented before they reach customers

Drive the control plane re-architecture: stand up new infrastructure, manage parallel runs and cutover, and ensure the new environment meets production readiness standards for monitoring, alerting, and capacity

Set the operational roadmap for the production environment: capacity planning, scaling strategy, disaster recovery, and the evolution of the architecture toward a more distributed, resilient design

Establish and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability across the production stack and ensure the team has the visibility needed to respond to issues before customers do

Manage the production database and caching environment: replication topology, performance tuning, backup verification, and failover testing

Foster a culture of operational excellence: regular operational reviews, SLO definition and tracking, blameless postmortems, and continuous improvement of runbooks and deployment processes

Qualifications

10+ years of professional experience in site reliability engineering or infrastructure operations, with at least 2 years in a team lead or management role

Deep experience operating production web stacks at scale. You should be comfortable debugging performance issues across the full request path from load balancer to database
