Job Description
Senior Site Reliability Engineer – Government, Sovereign Cloud
Veeam Software
• Get up to speed on the full platform — all VDC workloads, dependencies, and risk areas. Much of this will happen through code, docs, and conversations rather than direct environment access. • Work with SMEs across the org to fill knowledge gaps and build onboarding material for the team. • Write and maintain runbooks, architecture docs, and operational guides. • Design infrastructure for high availability and fault tolerance on Azure (including Azure Government). • Define SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets where none exist today. • Run incident response and blameless postmortems. Turn incidents into improvements. • Identify reliability risks across modern and legacy workloads and build practical remediation plans that work within compliance constraints. • Close observability gaps — define instrumentation requirements and drive implementation. • Set alerting, telemetry, and monitoring standards with partner teams. • Build automation to reduce toil and support fleet management. • Participate in on-call rotations. • Work with IaC, CI/CD, deployment automation, and config management — including in air-gapped or compliance-restricted environments. • Build and maintain testing, canary deployment, and release validation pipelines. • Integrate chaos engineering and monitoring tools, adapting choices to meet regulatory requirements. • Work across product, platform, security, legal, compliance, and operations teams. • Own problems end-to-end — identify gaps, drive solutions, don't wait for direction. • Mentor other engineers and help spread SRE practices across the org.
Job Requirements
- 7+ years in Software Engineering, with 3+ years in SRE, Platform Engineering, or similar — across multi-service platforms, not just single-service environments.
- Experience with Government or Sovereign Cloud (e.g., Azure Government, AWS GovCloud).
- Experience in regulated compliance environments — government (FedRAMP, CMMC, IL2/IL4/IL5), financial (PCI-DSS, SOX), or healthcare (HIPAA, HITRUST). You understand how compliance shapes architecture and operations.
- Strong experience building and running production services on cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred, including Azure Government).
- Able to learn large, complex platforms quickly with limited guidance — comfortable building understanding from code, docs, and architecture artifacts when direct environment access is restricted.
- Can investigate systems independently and produce clear docs, risk assessments, and improvement plans.
- Comfortable working across teams — engineering, product, security, compliance, operations.
- Programming skills in one or more of: TypeScript/JS, Go, Java, C#, or similar.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK stack).
- Experience with IaC (Terraform, Terragrunt, Pulumi) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
- Experience with CI/CD and GitOps tooling — GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, FluxCD, or Dagger.
- Solid grasp of distributed systems, networking, and cloud-native architecture.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills.
Benefits
- Unlimited paid time off, 12 paid holidays, plus 4 extra global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares

- Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting on your first day
- Mental health support, therapy sessions, and digital wellness tools via our Employee Assistance Program
- 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions
- Fertility, adoption, and surrogacy support through Maven, plus paid volunteer time
- AirVet: 24/7 virtual veterinary care at no cost
- Legal services, identity protection, and supplemental health insurance options
