Site Reliability Engineer - GCP
About The Position
As a Site Reliability Engineer at Veson Nautical, you will design, build, monitor, and support the cloud infrastructure that underpins our rapidly growing SaaS platform. This is a multi-cloud role spanning both AWS and Google Cloud Platform, with an immediate focus on growing our GCP footprint and the systems that connect our environments across regions, accounts, and clouds. The work is a mix of greenfield and stewardship. You'll stand up infrastructure for new applications from scratch, and you'll take on the harder problem of making our existing estate more consistent, more observable, and easier to operate. Our suite of products includes: Veson Platform - the core commercial maritime platform used by the world's leading shipping organizations to manage vessel communication, operations, and trade decisions. Oceanbolt - a dynamic data intelligence platform, tracking over 23,000 vessels in real time to deliver accurate, timely market intelligence to drive decision making. Shipfix - using proprietary AI-driven tools to infer cargo and vessel information, extracting, anonymizing, and aggregating billions of data points with near real-time processing of email exchanges in the shipping market.
