About the role
Vultr is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Core Cloud Engineering team and help build the out-of-band (OOB) control plane that sits underneath every server in our fleet. This is the layer that makes a rack of bare metal behave like cloud -- IPMI gateways, Redfish abstractions, DPU control and provisioning, serial-over-LAN, and the automation that ties them together.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience building backend services or systems software
- Production experience in at least one of Rust, Go, or C/C++ -- and willingness to ramp on Rust as the primary language
- Solid working knowledge of Linux -- processes, networking, systemd, basic kernel concepts
- Comfortable with HTTP APIs, JSON, gRPC, and at least one of the common RPC/IPC patterns
- Familiarity with at least one of IPMI, Redfish, BMC tooling, PXE/iPXE, or bare metal provisioning -- or strong systems fundamentals and clear interest in learning it
- Comfortable reading vendor documentation, RFCs, and packet captures to figure out how something actually works
