</div></div><h4>About The Role</h4>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="353">Veeam is building a global SRE function to support the Veeam Data Cloud, our new SaaS platform. This role focuses on our Government and Sovereign Cloud environment.</p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="519">Due to clearance and access requirements, this team operates with restricted access to GOV infrastructure. That means you'll be part of a small team responsible for the full platform stack — including all <span data-highlighted="true" data-vc="highlighted-text"><span class="_kqswh2mm"><span class="_5pioz8co _189e1dm9 _1il9buyh _19lc184f _d0altlke" data-testid="definition-highlighter">VDC</span></span></span> workloads. You won't always be able to hand off problems to other teams; you need to understand the entire architecture well enough to own it. You'll need to get up to speed on the platform quickly, often by reading code, docs, and architecture artifacts rather than getting direct access to environments from day one.</p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="1048">This is a ground-up role — you'll help define how reliability engineering works here by mapping systems, writing runbooks, setting baselines, and building the practices this team will run on going forward.</p>
