They are also responsible for the NetBox Cloud product which sits on top of the platform - including components such as the Cloud Console, instance orchestration system (Kubernetes-based), signup system, and single sign-on (SSO).

To support internal operations, the team also develops internal facing tools that empower our Customer Success, TechOps, and Product teams to support our customers effectively.

A key focus of this role will be maintaining and extending our platform REST API (written in Go), which serves both external customers on our cloud platform and internal product teams. The role will also involve building and maintaining a host of platform microservices developed in Python.

What You’ll Do:

• Design, build, and maintain internal platforms and services using Go, Python, and AWS services with event driven architecture

• Develop and evolve NetBox Cloud capabilities, including the Cloud Console, signup flow, and SSO

• Work with product application teams on internal operational tools that empower our support staff to service our customers

• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code efforts using tools like Terraform and Kubernetes

• Collaborate with the security and compliance teams to ensure the platform and its code meet organizational and regulatory standards, including SOC 2

• Partner with product and engineering teams to define and deliver platform capabilities, both internal and customer facing

• Extend and maintain our REST API

• Participate in the team’s on-call rotation to support production systems
  

What We’re Looking For:

• 7+ years of experience as a software engineer, ideally with platform or infrastructure focus, and 2+ years in a startup environment

• Proficiency with Python or Go, and familiarity with Linux systems

• Experience with cloud-native infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform)

• Hands-on experience with AWS services and cloud infrastructure best practices

• Familiarity with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions or similar

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, remote-first environment
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience supporting multi-tenant SaaS platforms

• Exposure to infrastructure security and compliance standards (SOC 2, FedRAMP, etc.)

• Contributions to open source projects
  

• We own and solve problems with high attention to detail.

• Our open source contributors, users, customers & team are all part of our community. When our community wins, we win.

• We prioritize simplicity and think twice before adding complexity

• Clear communication helps keep our team aligned and collaborating smoothly.
