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 first response across Vultr’s global cloud, systems, network, and security operations.
We are seeking Systems Engineers to serve as the first line of response for Vultr’s systems estate — compute, storage, operating systems, and virtualization. This is a frontline operations role for engineers who thrive in a fast-paced, alert-driven environment and want to grow into deeper SRE, systems, and platform engineering careers. You must be comfortable working on a rotational shift model (24x7) — including nights, weekends, and holidays, to ensure we have full coverage.
The Systems Engineer is the entry point of the GIOC incident lifecycle. You monitor health signals across Vultr’s systems estate, acknowledge and triage alerts within defined first-response SLAs, execute documented runbooks to resolve common issues, and escalate cleanly to Senior Systems Engineer when an issue falls outside L1 scope. The role ensures fast, accurate first response that protects customer experience and keeps incidents moving toward resolution.
You operate from a consolidated single-pane-of-glass dashboard, classifying and routing incidents by severity and tower while owning accurate, complete documentation of every action. Success is measured by first-response SLA adherence, triage accuracy, and runbook resolution rate. The role runs on a rotational schedule to sustain 24x7 coverage.
