Join Vultr

Vultr is expanding its India presence and is building its first Global Integrated Operations Command Center (GIOC) in Chennai — the 24x7 nerve center for monitoring, triage, and incident resolution across Vultr’s global security operations.

We are seeking a Senior Technical Writer to build the documentation, architecture, training, knowledge-transfer, and operational-readiness foundation for the new GIOC in Chennai. The role partners with GIOC, DCOPS, Physical Security, Engineering, Tools & Automation, Technical Support, Platform, TPMs, and US stakeholders.

Role Overview

Build a single source of truth that enables consistent 24x7 operations. Convert complex technical knowledge into clear, actionable documentation, architecture diagrams, runbooks, workflows, training, KT packages, and service-readiness artifacts.

This is a documentation and enablement role—not an Incident Manager, TPM, or engineering remediation role.

Key Responsibilities

GIOC Documentation & Runbooks

• Create SOPs, runbooks, workflows, checklists, RACI, service ownership, escalation, and operational procedures.

• Build runbooks for infrastructure, network, security, datacenter, monitoring, maintenance, failover, and recovery.

Architecture & Process Documentation

• Capture current/future-state architecture, service dependencies, data flows, integrations, and operational boundaries.

• Create process maps, swimlanes, decision trees, escalation workflows, and operating-model diagrams.

Knowledge Transfer & Handoffs

• Build US→India TTO/KT packages covering architecture, monitoring, dependencies, runbooks, ownership, escalation, and support boundaries.

• Standardize shift handoffs and engineering/operational communication templates.

Training & Enablement

• Build GIOC onboarding and role-based training plans, materials, scenarios, assessments, and readiness checklists.

• Partner with Engineering SMEs to conduct KT and close knowledge gaps.

Confluence & Knowledge Management

• Build and govern the GIOC Confluence knowledge base, templates, ownership, review cycles, versioning, and searchability.

US–India & TPM Partnership

• Facilitate SME workshops and partner with US Engineering and TPMs on PRDs, requirements, workflows, and operational readiness.

• Drive review, approval, and publication across distributed stakeholders.

Operational Readiness & Continuous Improvement

• Ensure critical services have approved documentation, architecture, training, monitoring, escalation, access, and KT readiness before transition.

• Use operational feedback to improve documentation and identify AI-assisted knowledge-management opportunities.

Required Qualifications

• 5–8+ years in technical writing, technical documentation, knowledge management, or operations documentation.

• Experience with cloud/infrastructure, NOC/SOC, SRE, DevOps, datacenter, networking, systems, security, or monitoring environments.

• Strong experience creating runbooks, SOPs, workflows, architecture/process diagrams, and knowledge bases.

• Hands-on Confluence and Jira/ITSM experience; familiarity with Visio, Lucidchart, Miro, or similar.

• Experience creating training/KT materials and working directly with technical SMEs.

• Strong written/verbal communication, stakeholder management, facilitation, and technical curiosity.

Preferred Qualifications

• NOC/SOC/GIOC/SRE/live-site operations documentation experience.

• Azure/AWS/GCP and monitoring/observability exposure (Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, Icinga or equivalent).

• ITIL experience and familiarity with AI-assisted documentation/knowledge tools.
