Vultr is expanding its India presence and is building its first Global Integrated Operations Command Center (GIOC) in Chennai — the 24x7 nerve center for monitoring, triage, and incident resolution across Vultr’s global network operations.
We are seeking Senior Network Engineers to own escalated and complex incidents across Vultr’s network estate — routing, switching, DNS, CDN, load balancing, and connectivity. This is a deep-dive engineering role for experienced network operators who lead troubleshooting, drive root-cause analysis, author runbooks, and mentor Network Engineers — and who want to grow toward network architecture, SRE, or platform engineering. You must be comfortable with a rotational shift and on-call model — including nights, weekends, and holidays — to sustain follow-the-sun coverage.
The Senior Network Engineer owns incidents escalated from Network Engineers and leads diagnosis on the most complex network issues. You perform deep troubleshooting, drive incidents to resolution within defined SLAs, determine root cause, and deliver permanent fixes that prevent recurrence. The role ensures deep technical resolution and network reliability that protects customer experience and network availability.
You act as a senior escalation point and network subject-matter expert, leading major-incident bridges, partnering with Engineering SMEs and providers on architecture-level fixes, and raising the team’s capability through runbooks and mentoring. Success is measured by MTTR, root-cause closure, recurrence reduction, and runbook coverage. The role runs on a rotational shift and on-call schedule to sustain 24x7coverage.
