Staff Software Engineer, Enterprise Delivery

NetBox Labs is seeking a Staff Software Engineer with deep systems experience to own the architecture and technical direction of our on-premise NetBox Enterprise product. You will lead the design of how customers install, operate, scale, and secure our on-premise product suite, tackling hard problems unique to self-managed and air-gapped environments. In this role, you will own the architectural roadmap end-to-end and work closely with cross-functional engineering teams, partnering with the Office of the CTO Architecture Group to ensure the on-premise suite remains cohesive with our broader platform and meets our bar for reliability, security, and design quality.

Responsibilities:

• Design, architect, and deliver Kubernetes-based, highly available on-premise deployments, including control plane services, telemetry pipelines, appliance-style distributions, and fully air-gapped environments.

• Own the architecture and evolution of the on-prem operational management console and supporting tools, with a strong focus on reliability, usability, and lifecycle management.

• Architect multi-stage CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and supporting DevOps tooling to produce repeatable, secure, and auditable on-prem releases.

• Help write and maintain high-quality code for internal tooling, automation, management APIs, and extensibility mechanisms.

• Define and enforce software versioning, upgrade paths, and structured release processes suitable for enterprise and regulated environments.

• Produce and maintain clear, opinionated documentation and deployment standards that enable customers to self-manage confidently.

• Partner directly with Customer Success and, when needed, customers to diagnose and resolve complex deployment, upgrade, and operational issues.

• Coordinate with Product Management and peer engineering teams to align release timelines, manage cross-team dependencies, and reduce integration risk.

• Build internal tooling and APIs that enable upstream teams to validate compatibility and integration before changes land in on-prem releases.

• Develop secure internal systems for Customer Success to manage licensing, credentials, and artifact distribution across customer environments.

Requirements:

• 7+ years in software development, with proven experience leading technical direction for major projects

• Demonstrated experience working in on-premise environments, including experience with virtual appliances and/or air-gapped installations

• Deep expertise with Kubernetes, Helm charts, and deployment automation.

• 3+ years of experience in a B2B software startup or high-growth organization.

• Python, Golang, or Rust programming experience.

• Proven track record of successful project execution with tangible outcomes.

• Solid understanding of DevSecOps methodologies, including security scanning, vulnerability management (CVEs), and tools such as JFrog.

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions) and infrastructure automation tools (Ansible, Terraform).

• Strong knowledge of Linux systems, including system administration, troubleshooting, and networking
  

Nice to Have:

• Open-source contributions or project involvement.

• Familiarity with networking concepts or distributed system architecture.

• Experience deploying applications using Replicated.

• Comfort and experience using AI-enhanced tooling (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor).
