Who We Are
Veson Nautical empowers the global maritime industry to navigate complexity on all sides of the trade. Veson's platform combines AI-driven workflows, trusted data, and seamless collaboration, to deliver the insight and context needed for confident, competitive decision-making.
The Opportunity
As a Site Reliability Engineer at Veson Nautical, you will design, build, monitor, and support the cloud infrastructure that underpins our rapidly growing SaaS platform. This is a multi-cloud role spanning both AWS and Google Cloud Platform, with an immediate focus on growing our GCP footprint and the systems that connect our environments across regions, accounts, and clouds.
The work is a mix of greenfield and stewardship. You'll stand up infrastructure for new applications from scratch, and you'll take on the harder problem of making our existing estate more consistent, more observable, and easier to operate.
Our suite of products includes:
- Veson Platform - the core commercial maritime platform used by the world's leading shipping organizations to manage vessel communication, operations, and trade decisions
- Oceanbolt - a dynamic data intelligence platform, tracking over 23,000 vessels in real time to deliver accurate, timely market intelligence to drive decision making
- Shipfix - using proprietary AI-driven tools to infer cargo and vessel information, extracting, anonymizing, and aggregating billions of data points with near real-time processing of email exchanges in the shipping market
The Team
You'll join a global Site Reliability Engineering team with members in the United States and the United Kingdom.
This position is based in London or Boston in a hybrid model, with an expectation of 2-3 days per week in our office. We think those days are worth showing up for: our beautiful office is stocked with snacks, there's a weekly team lunch on us, and the atmosphere is friendly, informal, and genuinely collaborative.
The team participates in an on-call rotation -more details will be provided in the interview process.
Our Stack
- Google Cloud Platform - primarily PaaS services (Bigtable, Cloud SQL, Dataflow, Datastore, GKE, GCS, KMS, Pub/Sub)
- Amazon Web Services - multi-region, multi-account, with a broad range of managed services
- Containers and orchestration - Kubernetes (GKE and EKS)
- Infrastructure-as-Code - Terraform, Terragrunt, and Atlantis
- CI/CD - GitLab Pipelines, ArgoCD, Octopus Deploy
- Data - ElasticSearch hosted with Kubernetes Operator, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, BigQuery
- Monitoring and Security - Splunk, Grafana / Grafana Tempo, OpenTelemetry, Cloud Armor Enterprise, OpsGenie, Renovate, Sentry
- AI Tools - Claude, Amazon Bedrock, Gemini, Vertex AI
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and operate scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure across Google Cloud Platform and AWS
- Lead greenfield infrastructure builds for new applications, and modernize existing infrastructure toward common patterns
- Solve cross-region, cross-account, and cross-cloud problems — networking, identity, data movement, and the operational patterns that hold across environments
- Drive automation of infrastructure provisioning and configuration management using Terraform and related IaC tooling
- Establish and maintain comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and observability practices
- Cross-train and mentor other engineers, with the explicit goal of broadening GCP and multi-cloud capability across the team
- Partner closely with development teams to ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of our platforms
- Set technical direction through design reviews, architecture proposals, and clear written documentation
- Participate in and improve incident response, and drive the follow-through that keeps the same incident from recurring
- Improve the cost effectiveness of our cloud footprint through visibility, analysis, and sound architectural choices
Skills/Experience Needed to Be Successful in This Role
Required:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Previous experience working on a large-scale Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform supporting thousands of global users in a 24x7x365 environment
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform services and architecture, including running production workloads at scale
- Production Kubernetes experience, particularly Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
- Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code, preferably Terraform
- Experience with Google Cloud networking, including VPC, Cloud Load Balancing, and Cloud CDN
- Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or TypeScript for automation and tool development
Highly Desirable:
- Hands-on experience with both GCP and AWS, and a clear point of view on where multi-cloud helps and where it hurts
- Working knowledge of Google Cloud security best practices and IAM implementation
- Experience with Google Cloud data services including BigQuery and Dataflow
- Experience working on a geographically distributed team across time zones
Nice to have:
- Google Cloud Professional certifications (Cloud Architect, Data Engineer, or DevOps Engineer)
- Experience with GitLab CI or Octopus Deploy
We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you're excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply. While we try to be thorough with our job descriptions, not everything about you as a candidate can be condensed into a list of bullet points.

Focus your search on Boston's strongest hiring sectors: biopharma and medical device manufacturers in the Longwood corridor, defense contractors in the Greater Boston suburbs, and energy and utilities firms in the Seaport. Candidates with experience in FDA-regulated manufacturing environments or MIL-SPEC reliability standards stand out locally. Networking through the American Society for Quality's New England chapter also gives Boston candidates a concrete edge.
Which companies hire reliability engineers in Boston?

Boston's mix of research hospitals, biopharma giants, and defense-adjacent manufacturers makes it one of the more diverse reliability engineering markets on the East Coast.
Are there remote reliability engineer jobs in Boston?
Yes, though availability depends heavily on the role: hands-on positions tied to manufacturing lines or lab equipment are almost always on-site, while roles focused on data analysis, FRACAS systems, or quality documentation can be hybrid. About 79% of reliability engineer openings tied to Boston are remote or hybrid as of September 2026. Analytical and software-side reliability roles at Boston's biotech and defense firms are the most likely to offer flexible arrangements.
How can I get a reliability engineer job in Boston with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Boston is through quality engineering or manufacturing engineering roles at mid-size biopharma or medical device companies, many of which promote into reliability functions internally. Contract roles at Boston-area defense suppliers also offer structured exposure to reliability methodologies. Familiarity with tools like FMEA, Weibull analysis, or CMMS software makes entry-level candidates more competitive, and co-op programs at Northeastern and Wentworth frequently feed directly into local employer pipelines.
