Join Vultr

Vultr is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join the Platform SRE team, reporting to the Senior Manager, Platform Engineering. The Platform SRE team runs the systems that keep the cloud operational — DNS, BGP route reflectors, RPKI, repository mirrors, and the observability platform to name just a few. These are weekend-shift roles with schedules of either Wednesday–Sunday or Saturday–Wednesday, keeping those systems healthy around the clock. The ideal candidates are well-rounded generalists who excel at operating Linux services, with deep expertise in observability and a strong track record of problem solving — experienced with the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Mimir, Tempo), ClickHouse, Kubernetes, and infrastructure automation. You’ll work alongside experienced SREs who operate Vultr’s observability stack and lead incident response programs, while owning weekend reliability and incident response across our growing infrastructure. This is your opportunity to join our fast growing team and leave your mark on Vultr and the future of Cloud Infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Weekend Operations: Own weekend monitoring, incident response, and escalation for the systems that keep the cloud operational.

Core Infrastructure: Operate and automate critical cloud services such as DNS, BGP route reflectors, RPKI, and repository mirrors.

Linux Services: Operate a broad range of Linux services as a well-rounded generalist — confident owning whatever the platform runs, not just a narrow specialty.

Monitoring & Automation: Implement and maintain dashboards, alerts, and automation for critical services using the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Mimir, Tempo) and ClickHouse.

Incident Response & Review: Respond to production incidents, drive mitigation, and contribute to post-incident reviews that improve long-term reliability.

Infrastructure as Code: Use Terraform, Puppet, and Ansible to automate infrastructure and ensure consistency across environments.

Toil Reduction: Identify and eliminate toil by automating manual operational tasks, improving CI/CD checks, and refining alert logic.

Troubleshooting: Debug issues across Linux systems, Kubernetes deployments, and network layers — from DNS and TLS to application behavior in PHP, Python, and Go services.

Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with Platform Services, Shared Services, and application teams to align reliability and operational standards.

Documentation: Maintain runbooks, weekend readiness checklists, and reliability playbooks to support operational consistency.

Qualifications

Well-rounded generalist experience operating Linux services, backed by 5+ years in Site Reliability, DevOps, or Platform Engineering roles.

Expertise in observability, with hands-on experience operating the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Mimir, Tempo) and ClickHouse.
