Vultr is seeking a Staff Platform Engineer to build and drive our internal platform automation capabilities and deliver self-service solutions that accelerate engineering across the organization.

This is a highly visible role in a high-growth technology company, which will require working across the stack — designing, implementing, and operating the platform that Vultr’s engineering teams rely on daily. This is your opportunity to join our fast growing team and leave your mark on Vultr and the future of Cloud Infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and drive Vultr’s platform automation philosophy, establishing standards for infrastructure automation, developer tooling, and self-service capabilities

- Architect and deliver self-service solutions that enable engineering teams to move faster with less operational overhead
- Solve organization-wide platform challenges with systems thinking and architectural rigor
- Anticipate scaling, reliability, and usability needs before they become incidents — design forward-looking solutions, not reactive patches
- Drive platform adoption through documentation, training, and cross-team communication
- Partner with product, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure platform capabilities align with business objectives and engineering needs
Qualifications
- Expert-level experience in PHP, plus strong proficiency in Go or Python
- Deep Linux systems experience, including administration, automation, and infrastructure management at scale
- Proven track record architecting and operating self-service platform solutions for engineering teams
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code, configuration management, orchestration, and CI/CD pipelines
- Leadership experience influencing and mentoring engineers — shaping technical direction and culture without direct authority
