Join Vultr

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 network operations.

We are seeking Network Engineers to serve as the first line of response for Vultr’s global network estate — routing, DNS, CDN, and connectivity. This is a frontline operations role for engineers who watch connectivity, routing, and link health in real time and want to grow into deeper network engineering or SRE careers. You must be comfortable working a rotational shift model — including nights, weekends, and holidays — to sustain follow-the-sun coverage.

Role Overview

The Network Engineer is the entry point of the GIOC incident lifecycle for the network tower. You monitor connectivity and routing signals, acknowledge and triage alerts within defined first-response SLAs, execute documented runbooks to resolve common connectivity issues, and escalate cleanly to Senior Network Engineer when an issue falls outside L1 scope. The role ensures fast, accurate first response that protects customer experience and network availability.

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.

Key Responsibilities

Alert Monitoring & First Response

- Monitor network health signals — routing, DNS, CDN, links, latency, and packet loss — from a consolidated single-pane-of-glass dashboard

- Acknowledge alerts and incidents within first-response SLA targets

- Perform initial review — read the alert, check recent changes, and review the CMDB before acting

Triage & Severity Classification

- Classify each incident by severity and customer impact, confirming the owning tower (Network / cross-tower)

- Route and assign tickets accurately to the correct tower or escalation path

- Sustain triage accuracy at or above the GIOC go-live standard

- Reassess severity as impact evolves, and declare higher when in doubt

Runbook-Driven Resolution

- Match alert signatures to documented runbooks and execute permitted Tier 1 actions

- Resolve common, well-understood connectivity and routing issues end to end within L1 scope

- Document every step taken, with supporting evidence, in the incident ticket

Escalation & Handoff

- Escalate unresolved or out-of-scope issues to the Network Senior Network Engineer with a clean, complete handoff (symptom · evidence collected · steps tried · current state)

- Flag missing or ineffective runbooks as runbook gaps for review and continuous improvement

- Initiate and support major-incident (Sev-0 / Sev-1) bridges per the escalation matrix

- Track escalations to closure and confirm service is restored before resolving the ticket

Operational Documentation & Communication

- Maintain accurate shift logs, ticket updates, and incident timelines

- Provide clear, timely status communication to stakeholders and customers per severity

- Produce thorough shift-handover notes for seamless follow-the-sun continuity

Continuous Improvement

- Identify recurring alerts and noise as candidates for tuning and automation

- Contribute to and improve runbooks and knowledge-base articles

- Participate in post-incident reviews (PIR) and trend reviews

Qualifications & Experience

- Graduate/Engineer in a relevant field (B.E./B.tech or equivalent)

- 3–5 years of experience in network operations, a NOC, or IT operations, including hands-on network monitoring and troubleshooting

- Working knowledge of networking fundamentals — TCP/IP, routing and switching, DNS, firewalls, load balancing, and CDN concepts

- Familiarity with network troubleshooting tools and techniques (ping, traceroute, packet capture, link/latency analysis)

- Understanding of incident-management fundamentals and severity-based triage

- Exposure to monitoring/observability tools and ticketing systems (alerting consoles, ITSM)

- Strong written communication for accurate documentation and clean escalation handoffs; willingness and ability to work a rotational 24x7 shift model, including nights, weekends, and holidays

- Proficient in English verbal and written communication

Preferred Qualifications

- ITIL V4 Foundation certification or equivalent ITSM knowledge

- Networking certification (CCNA / JNCIA or equivalent)

- Scripting familiarity (Bash, Python, or PowerShell) for routine automation

- Exposure to cloud networking and GPU / high-density infrastructure

- Experience with L1 (physical) troubleshooting, including optical/transport and/or telecom troubleshooting

- Prior experience in a 24x7 NOC or command-center environment, and tools such as JIRA, Confluence, PagerDuty, and observability platforms

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
