Site Reliability Engineer — Government & Sovereign Cloud

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.

What You Will Do

Discovery & Documentation

  • 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.

Reliability & Incident Response

  • 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.

Observability

  • 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.

Infrastructure & Delivery

  • 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.

Collaboration

  • 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.

What We Are Looking For

Required

  • 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.

Preferred

  • 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.

Why Join?

  • Work on a high-impact reliability practice for a growing GOV/Sovereign Cloud platform.

  • Learn from senior engineers while owning real work end-to-end.

  • Collaborate with strong teams across product, cloud engineering, security, and compliance.

  • Professional development resources including mentorship, training, and volunteer days.

  • Competitive compensation and benefits.

What you'll get

  • Unlimited paid time off, 12 paid holidays including 4 global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares
  • Paid parental leave: 8 weeks for all parents, 16 weeks for birthing parents
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting on your first day
  • Mental health support, therapy sessions, and digital wellness tools via our Employee Assistance Program
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions
  • Fertility, adoption, and surrogacy support through Maven, plus paid volunteer time
  • AirVet: 24/7 virtual veterinary care at no cost
  • Legal services, identity protection, and supplemental health insurance options
  • Tax-advantaged spending accounts for healthcare, dependent care, and commuting
  • Opportunities to learn and grow through on-demand libraries (LinkedIn Learning, O’Reilly), mentoring, workshops, and learning events like our annual Global Day of Learning

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
