Senior Engineer – Production Cloud and Container Services

Fleet Operations and Production Engineering at Fastly is looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Cloud and Container Services team. This role is focused on helping to scale and manage Fastly’s Kubernetes based platform for control plane services. This platform is built on top of multiple public cloud services and contains many Kubernetes ecosystem components. We’re working to scale out our platform to support growth and at the same time evolve to address new business priorities. A successful candidate will help expand our platform feature set, support existing users and onboard new services, and drive efficiency while maintaining a secure platform.

What You’ll Do:

• Design, build, and operate infrastructure (cloud, Fastly datacenter) to enable reliable and rapid deployment. This includes effective monitoring and resilient operations in a large-scale multi-cloud and hybrid cloud / on-premise environment. The majority of workloads are containerized but some are using native cloud services such as compute and storage.
• Diagnose and resolve performance and reliability issues across the stack: application, operating system, network, 3rd party services and APIs, including cross-application dependencies.
• Deploy and support complex 3rd party and internally developed applications.
• Write tools to automate maintenance and deployment of servers, services, and applications.
• Collaborate with internal users and continually evolve the platform and its operations using solid engineering practices.
• Drive projects sometimes independently and sometimes collaboratively across time zones.
• Configure access and manage operations within a multi-cloud environment.

The preferred locations for this position are:

Fastly currently embraces a largely hybrid model for most roles which allows employees flexibility to split their time between the office and home. There is a strong preference for Hybrid near a local office. However, we may be willing to consider remote candidates within the US, UK or Canada.

This position may require travel as required by your role or requested by your manager.

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance and the Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

The estimated salary range for this position when hired in the US is $181,220 to $217,464.

Starting salary may vary based on permissible, non-discriminatory factors such as experience, skills, qualifications, and location.

This role may be eligible to participate in Fastly’s equity and discretionary bonus programs.

We care about you. Fastly works hard to create a positive environment for our employees, and we think your life outside of work is important too. We support our teams with great benefits that start on the first day of your employment with Fastly. Curious about our offerings?

Family planning, mental health support along with Employee Assistance Program, Insurance (Life, Disability, and Accident), a Flexible Vacation policy and up to 18 days of accrued paid sick leave are there to help support our employees. We also offer 401(k) (including company match) and an Employee Stock Purchase Program. For 2026, we offer 11 paid local holidays, 12 paid company wellness days.
