Vultr is seeking an Onboarding Specialist to join our Server Onboarding team responsible for bringing newly racked CPU and GPU servers into production. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, process-driven, and comfortable working hands-on with server hardware in a fast-paced data center environment.

In this role, you will be the first-line person to onboard new CPU and GPU hosts at our data center locations, following established runbooks to take servers from racked hardware through inventory, imaging, configuration, activation, and handoff to validation. You will execute and troubleshoot existing onboarding workflows, coordinate with upstream teams to resolve blockers, and keep the onboarding pipeline moving through high-volume server deployments.

This is your opportunity to play a direct, hands-on role in expanding Vultr’s global bare metal and GPU infrastructure.
