Veeam Software

1d • $109,800 - $252,500 • Remote

About The Position

Veeam is building a global SRE function to support the Veeam Data Cloud, our SaaS platform. This role is part of the team supporting our Government and Sovereign Cloud environment. Success here requires a self-starter mindset — you'll need to be comfortable building your own context and tracking down information across a large, distributed engineering organization. You'll work alongside senior engineers to execute on reliability work, close observability gaps, respond to incidents, and help maintain the operational foundation the team runs on.

Requirements

• 3+ years in Software Engineering, with at least 1 year in SRE, Platform Engineering, or DevOps working on cloud-hosted services.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure on Azure or a comparable cloud provider.
• Familiarity with regulated or compliance-oriented environments such as government (FedRAMP, CMMC), financial (PCI-DSS), or healthcare (HIPAA). You understand that compliance shapes what you can and can't do operationally.
• Able to read and understand code well enough to investigate system behavior without always having someone walk you through it.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK stack).
• Experience with IaC tools (Terraform, Terragrunt, or Pulumi) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Experience with CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, or ArgoCD.
• Strong programming skills in one or more of: TypeScript/JS, Go, Java, C#, or similar.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals and networking basics.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in Government or Sovereign Cloud environments (e.g., Azure Government, AWS GovCloud).
• Background in SaaS platforms or multi-tenant systems.
• Familiarity with chaos engineering, resilience testing, or load testing.
• Exposure to building or improving reliability practices on a team.
• Familiar with AI-first development workflows using LLM-powered tools for automation, code generation, or documentation.

Responsibilities

• Get up to speed on VDC workloads, dependencies, and operational workflows by reading code, docs, and working with SMEs.
• Write and maintain runbooks, incident guides, and operational documentation.
• Support knowledge transfer and contribute to onboarding materials for the team.
• Participate in incident response including triage, investigation, mitigation, and postmortems.
• Help implement and maintain SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets defined by the team.
• Identify reliability issues during incidents or reviews and propose concrete improvements.
• Support high availability and fault tolerance work on Azure, including Azure Government.
• Close monitoring gaps by implementing instrumentation, alerting, and dashboards based on team standards.
• Contribute to toil reduction through automation and tooling improvements.
• Participate in on-call rotations.
• Work with IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling in compliance-restricted environments.
• Support testing, canary deployments, and release validation workflows.
• Implement changes to infrastructure and configuration following established patterns and review processes.
• Work with engineering, security, compliance, and operations teams to execute on reliability improvements.
• Communicate clearly about system behavior, risk, and status — in writing and in meetings.
• Raise blockers and gaps proactively; don't wait for problems to escalate.
