📋 Job Overview
NetBox Labs is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer for NetBox Delivery, a new team in our Applications group. NetBox is a product that reaches people in a few ways: our open source community runs NetBox OSS; commercial customers use NetBox Cloud (SaaS) or NetBox Enterprise (self-managed). NetBox Delivery owns everything between a NetBox Core release and a healthy, running instance on Cloud and Enterprise. We ship the software, keep an eye on it in production, and when something breaks, we fix it at the source rather than working around it. You will be one of the first engineers on this team and help shape how it works.
