Join Vultr

Vultr is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Dev Engineer to serve as the technical owner connecting our engineering alerting to Vultr's new Global Integrated Operations Command Center (GIOC) in Chennai, India, and to build the consolidated single-pane dashboard GIOC will operate from. The ideal candidate looks at five disconnected monitoring consoles and a dozen siloed alert feeds, winces, and then methodically builds the one dashboard that replaces all of them. This is a highly visible, focused role, requiring deep familiarity with Vultr's current architecture, monitoring stack, and operational workflows. This is your opportunity to build the operational backbone GIOC runs on from day one.

Role Overview

The Senior Software Engineer — Tooling & Automation will own the development of automation, integrations, and unified monitoring capabilities for Vultr’s GIOC in Chennai. The role will connect multiple monitoring, SIEM, infrastructure, and provider platforms into a single operational view, while automating alert routing, ticketing, paging, escalation, and SLA tracking. The engineer will work closely with Systems, Network, Security, and GIOC teams to improve observability, reduce manual intervention, and enable reliable 24×7 global infrastructure operations.

Key Responsibilities

- Analyze every engineering alert stream across Systems, Network, and Security—including Icinga, Grafana, and SIEM platforms—to determine the optimal integration strategy via webhooks, APIs, or native connectors.

- Develop a robust notification layer that funnels high-priority events into GIOC’s operational toolkit, ensuring critical context remains intact for rapid L1 response.

- Collaborate with cross-functional subject matter experts to align automated routing logic with established escalation and resolution protocols.

- Engineer seamless on-call notification workflows that drive strict adherence to acknowledgment SLAs without requiring manual intervention.
