Junior Python Engineer

Summary

Join Box, a leader in Intelligent Content Management, and help drive our platform forward by building software, frameworks, and tools for reliable operations across multiple cloud environments. As an important member of our growing team, you will manage the stability and operation of critical production applications, constantly develop automations, and collaborate with engineers. You will participate in POCs and grow into a thought leader for how technology can transform operations. This position requires working four days a week (Wednesday-Saturday) for 10-hour shifts (4 PM to 2 AM Polish time). You'll contribute to a software-driven, automation-first organization focused on optimizing existing systems and eliminating work through automation.

Requirements

• 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

Responsibilities

• 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

Preferred Qualifications

• 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
