Senior Engineer (DevOps), Platform Engineering

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer (DevOps) to join our Platform Engineering team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys solving infrastructure challenges at scale, and treats internal platforms like products—with velocity in mind.

You'll play a key role in designing, building, and operating the infrastructure and tooling that power NetBox Labs. From infrastructure automation to CI/CD pipelines to observability systems, you’ll help create the foundations that our teams rely on to ship high-quality software quickly and reliably.

In this role you will:

• Design, build, and maintain infrastructure systems supporting NetBox Labs’ SaaS and internal engineering needs.

• Operate and optimize AWS and other cloud infrastructure with a focus on cost efficiency, security, and performance.

• Contribute to internal platform tooling, CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions), and developer self-service capabilities.

• Enhance observability and incident response systems, including monitoring, alerting, and SLOs.

• Collaborate with stream-aligned product teams to understand their needs and continuously improve internal platforms.

• Help enforce and improve security and compliance standards, including SOC 2 controls.

• Contribute to documentation, onboarding materials, and internal support processes.

• Participate in on-call rotation for infrastructure and platform services.

• Mentor and share knowledge with other team members to elevate the overall team's expertise.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles.

• 2+ years of experience at a B2B software startup.

• Strong experience with AWS (EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, etc.) especially EKS/Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm).

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tooling—ideally GitHub Actions.

• Familiarity with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or similar.

• Proficiency in Python, Go, or shell scripting.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment.

• Strong communication and documentation skills.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience working in a SOC 2 compliant or security-focused environment.

• Familiarity with the NetBox ecosystem or network automation tooling.

• Open-source experience or contributions.

• Experience with AI tools (e.g. Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor)

• 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.
