Principal Software Engineer, Cloud Networking at Vultr

This role is designed for a seasoned infrastructure expert who has a deep background in Large-Scale Networking and Software Defined Networking (SDN). The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader comfortable working with Go or Rust to build high-performance networking foundations. You should have a strong grasp of BGP, VXLAN, and Kubernetes networking, particularly within hyperscale or cloud provider environments. The compensation is competitive ($140k–$180k), but the benefits package is the real standout. It features 100% company-paid medical/dental premiums, a 4% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, and a significant commitment to longevity, including a one-month paid sabbatical every five years. The role is fully remote within the U.S. and includes generous stipends for your home office and internet. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have extensive experience building or managing VPCs, security groups, and routing domains at scale. * Are proficient in Go or Rust and enjoy bridging the gap between hardware and software. * Want to influence the architecture of a major global cloud platform rather than just maintaining one. * Value a stable, privately-held company culture with long-term perks like anniversary bonuses and sabbaticals.
