WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

We're a diverse mix of backgrounds and skillsets and each of us makes a big difference every day. We’re looking for engineers with experience running enterprise-grade services who enjoy combining software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. We’re on a mission to transform our traditional operations team into a world-class, software-driven, automation-first organization that protects and elevates the customer experience at every turn.

As an important member of our growing team, you’ll get the opportunity to shape how modern operations should work here at Box — by designing and implementing automation, building resilient systems, and reducing human toil through engineering first mindset. Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• You will build software, frameworks, and tools required for reliable operations of Box's services across multiple cloud environments.
• You will manage the stability and operation of several of Box's most critical production applications through application reviews, capacity planning, and performance tuning
• You will be constantly developing automations / frameworks / tools for better platform reliability/availability.
• You will collaborate with other engineers on the team as well as cross functionally to foster solid engineering principles and represent our engineering values.
• You will participate in various POCs on new projects and frameworks being evaluated for the product/platforms.
• You'll grow into a thought leader for how technology can transform operations — with support, visibility, and the opportunity to scale your ideas.
• You will participate in a team on-call rotation with flexible scheduling options to support work-life balance.

WHO YOU ARE 

Required skills:

• You have some (1+ year) experience coding in a high-level language (e.g. Python) and are eager to keep growing as a developer.
• You enjoy solving technical problems and are motivated to build solutions that are reliable and efficient.
• You’re interested in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles — things like automation, monitoring, and performance — and are curious to apply them in real systems.
• You've worked on simple systems or tools, and you're ready to tackle more complex challenges with guidance and support.
• You’re comfortable using Linux and have done some basic troubleshooting or scripting in that environment.
• You’ve had some exposure to cloud technologies (like GCP, AWS, or Kubernetes) — maybe through school, internships, or personal projects — and you’re excited to deepen that knowledge.
• You’re familiar with monitoring and logging tools, or you’re eager to learn how to use tools like Prometheus, ELK, or Splunk to understand system behavior.
• You pick up new software, APIs, or frameworks quickly and enjoy learning how things work under the hood.
• You’ve experimented with or used DevOps tools such as Terraform, Jenkins, or Argo — even if just in a learning environment.
• You value team collaboration, communicate well, and are open to feedback and mentorship from more experienced teammates.

Bonus Points

• You’ve had some exposure to Java, Scala, PHP, or JavaScript/Node.js, even if not in a production setting.
• You enjoy working in a team-first environment, where you support others and aren’t afraid to ask for help.
• You’re curious about AIOps or how AI/ML models can improve the way infrastructure and operations are managed.
