WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

Cloud Native’s mission is to transform how Boxers build services, enabling them to deliver exceptional products. We provide a unified platform for configuring, deploying, and running Box services seamlessly, securely, reliably, and efficiently across optimal regions worldwide.

As a Software Engineer, you will have the opportunity to build and scale Box's Platform as a Service (PaaS) layer based on Kubernetes. With Box being an early adopter, supporter, and contributor of Kubernetes, you will work for the company that introduced kubectl, kube-state-metrics, and kube-applier to the open-source community. Our goal is to empower every developer to reach their highest potential by creating a delightful and straight-forward user experience and hiding the complexity of the cloud solutions.

We are currently developing a new system to replace the existing service configuration system. The goal of this new system is to make Cloud deployment easier by hiding the complexities of Kubernetes from users. It will also enable safe, unattended and secure continuous deployments.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a member of our team, you will be responsible for designing and implementing new components and services in our advanced Kubernetes-based service platform. This exciting opportunity allows you to work with cutting-edge technologies like Kubernetes, Istio, and Argo Rollouts that are shaping the future of public cloud.

This means you will:

• Collaborate with developers to create scalable and resilient applications by designing, building, and maintaining infrastructure components such as container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes infrastructure.
• Streamline development and operational workflows by implementing automation tools and frameworks.
• Develop a comprehensive service configuration system using TypeScript on top of cdk8s.
• Ensure the security of our services by patching vulnerabilities and upgrading libraries to meet strict FedRamp requirements.
• Continuously improve the reliability, scalability, and performance of Box's Platform as a Service (PaaS).
• Work closely with developers to ensure proper deployment and configuration of their applications in Kubernetes.
• Participate in an on-call rotation to address any production issues that may arise.

By joining our team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the growth and success of our services platform while working with state-of-the-art technologies.
