Job Description
Staff Software Engineer / Tech Lead designing and maintaining backend systems for NetBox Labs. Driving technical direction and mentoring engineers to ensure high quality deliverables.
Responsibilities:
- Drive technical direction across our Observability team, ensuring alignment between product goals, system design, and engineering execution.
- Design, build, and maintain backend systems supporting NetBox Labs' SaaS and on-premise products, including open-source, source-available, and commercial offerings.
- Guide how teams structure technical domains, define clear service boundaries, and evolve contracts and interfaces over time.
- Collaborate with platform, product, and infrastructure teams to ensure backend systems integrate cohesively across authentication, authorization, billing, and data layers.
- Mentor engineers across teams through code reviews, design sessions, and ongoing technical coaching; driving good outcomes within their domains, not just your own.
- Operate what you build: participate in deployment, monitoring, and on-call rotations to ensure reliability.
- Partner with product managers and engineering directors to translate roadmap goals into well-scoped engineering plans: breaking large initiatives into phases, surfacing risks early, and keeping technical and product timelines in sync.
- Contribute to technical documentation, internal knowledge sharing, and raising the overall engineering bar.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including time in a startup or high-growth environment.
- Proven ability to decompose large, ambiguous projects into concrete plans with clear milestones, dependencies, and ownership.
- Demonstrated success in a tech lead capacity, owning technical design for complex systems and clarifying dependencies on other engineering teams.
- Proficiency in using AI-assisted development and software lifecycle tooling, and excited about the transition to AI native product development.
- Strong software architecture fundamentals: domain boundaries, modular design, decoupled interfaces, and an understanding of how these choices compound over time.
- Experience deploying and operating services in Kubernetes in public clouds and on-prem infrastructure.
- Proficiency in Go, with experience building reliable backend services and distributed systems.
- Experience building or owning observability and telemetry systems: instrumentation, metrics pipelines, distributed tracing, and alerting at scale.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with a track record of working closely with Product Managers to align technical execution with roadmap priorities.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical ideas to engineers, product managers, and leadership alike.
- A track record of mentoring and growing engineers: through thoughtful feedback, pairing, and leading by example.
