Join Vultr

Vultr is seeking an experienced Mid-Level DevOps Engineer to help build and operate core cloud-native systems including VKE, VLB, VCR, Vultr Inference, NAT Gateways, and our internal APIs. The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of Kubernetes components, container runtime internals, and modern IaC/automation practices. This role will have a direct impact on Vultr’s global cloud infrastructure footprint, working on high-scale systems powering thousands of customers. This is your opportunity to join a highly visible engineering team at a fast-growing cloud provider and shape the future of our compute, networking, and container platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain production-grade automation using Ansible, Terraform, and Go

• Develop and enhance core services behind VKE, VLB (HAProxy), VCR (Container Registry), and Inference

• Engage deeply with Kubernetes internals (scheduler, kubelet, controllers, CRDs)

• Design, implement, and improve container runtime integrations (containerd, runc, OCI)

• Architect CI/CD improvements and deployment pipelines for large-scale systems

• Troubleshoot complex issues across networking, load balancing, containers, and distributed systems

• Contribute directly to Vultr’s open-source ecosystem (terraform provider, crossplane, vultr-cli, govultr)

• Improve overall reliability, observability, and operability of cloud-native services

• Collaborate with product, platform, and infrastructure teams on feature delivery

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering roles

• Strong experience with Kubernetes internals (not just kubectl usage)

• Proficiency with Go or willingness to become Go-first

• Experience with container runtimes (containerd, runc), OCI images, CNI/CSI

• Hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible

• Solid Linux fundamentals and troubleshooting

• Experience with load balancers or proxies (HAProxy, Envoy, NGINX) a plus

• Understanding of distributed systems and cloud infrastructure concepts

Compensation

$75,000 - $100,000

This salary can vary based on location, years of experience, background and skill set.
