Job Description
Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Core Cloud Engineering
Vultr
• Operate and scale Vultr’s control plane, ensuring availability, correctness, and performance across global datacenters. • Design, implement, and maintain automation to manage hypervisor fleets (KVM, QEMU, libvirt) and supporting infrastructure at scale. • Develop tooling and automation for Open vSwitch (OVS), BGP routing, and other networking components to ensure resilient and self-healing network operations. • Continuously analyze and improve system performance across compute, storage, and network layers, with an emphasis on reducing toil and eliminating single points of failure. • Implement advanced monitoring, logging, and tracing solutions (Grafana, Sentry, SumoLogic) while leading incident response to minimize impact and drive postmortem culture. • Maintain and evolve infrastructure pipelines (GitLab CI/CD, Puppet) to enable safe, fast, and reliable changes to both control plane and hypervisor infrastructure. • Work closely with Software Engineers, Network Engineers, and Product teams to align platform reliability with business and user needs. • Produce clear technical documentation for runbooks, operational procedures, and automation frameworks to improve team efficiency and reliability standards. • Coach and mentor team members in best practices for site reliability, incident handling, automation, and low-level Linux systems debugging.
Job Requirements
- Proficiency in PHP with strong scripting and automation skills.
- Experience running large-scale distributed systems and control plane infrastructure in production.
- Strong background in hypervisor technologies (libvirt, QEMU, KVM) and Linux systems administration.
- Expertise in networking protocols and tools, particularly BGP and Open vSwitch (OVS), with automation experience.
- Deep knowledge of observability and monitoring frameworks (Grafana, Sentry, SumoLogic) and incident management.
- Advanced troubleshooting skills across compute, networking, and storage subsystems.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) and configuration management (Puppet).
- Familiarity with MySQL or similar databases, with an understanding of operational considerations for reliability and scale.
- Strong problem-solving abilities and the drive to tackle complex, low-level reliability challenges.
