About NetBox Labs

NetBox Labs builds the next generation of network automation tools for modern infrastructure teams.

We’re hiring a Frontend Engineer to partner closely with our existing UI Platform engineer to continue building and scaling that platform.

Role overview

We’re looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer to join the UI Platform team and partner with our current engineers to accelerate delivery, improve reliability, and grow the component and design system. You’ll take ownership of parts of the platform, collaborate with product and design teams, and help make the UI platform the standard way teams build interfaces at NetBox Labs.

This role is hands-on: you will implement components, improve developer ergonomics (Storybook, docs, tests), and help define the architecture and processes needed to scale the platform safely across multiple product teams.

• Pair with and support the existing UI Platform engineer to deliver platform roadmap items and operational improvements.

• Design, build, and maintain reusable UI components, patterns, and utilities with a focus on composability, accessibility, and performance.

• Own platform-level features (component library, tokens, theming, Storybook, docs, test harnesses) and contribute to architecture and standards.

• Improve developer experience for product teams using the platform: scaffolding, documentation, linting, and CI checks.

• Add automated tests (unit, integration, visual regression) and enforce quality gates. Optimize build and runtime performance for components and pages.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product designers, product managers, and backend engineers to ensure components meet UX and performance goals.

• Review code, mentor teammates, and evangelize best practices for front-end engineering and design systems.

• Participate in planning processes — help shape the roadmap.

• 3+ years of professional frontend experience (React + TypeScript strongly preferred).

• Proven experience building and maintaining component libraries and/or design systems used by multiple teams.

• Deep knowledge of React patterns, TypeScript typing best practices, and component composition.

• Strong TailwindCSS or other utility-first CSS framework skills, modern layout (Flexbox, Grid) and responsive design.

• Experience with micro-frontend architecture, particularly Module Federation 2.0 with Vite.

• Experience with Storybook or equivalent component documentation tooling.

• Familiar with automated frontend testing: Jest, React Testing Library. Including accessibility & performance testing.

• Experience integrating frontend code with REST backends, ideally with type-safe API clients and API code generation.

• Awareness and practical experience with accessibility (WCAG) and building accessible components.

• Good communication skills and proven ability to work collaboratively in small, cross-functional teams.

• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and contributing to product and technical decisions.

• Experience with monorepos (npm workspaces / pnpm / Nx / Turborepo).

• Familiarity with build tooling and bundlers (Vite, Webpack, esbuild) and optimizing build/runtime performance.

• Experience with design tokens and theming systems.

• Previous role owning a UI/platform initiative or leading a design system adoption across teams.

• Familiarity with authentication and authorization patterns (Auth0, OAuth, RBAC) in frontend applications.

• Experience building developer tooling at scale such as code generators, scaffolding CLIs, or custom build utilities (e.g., Plop, Yeoman, Vite plugins)

• You’ll have real ownership of the UI platform used across our product portfolio.

• Work with a small, talented engineering team where your decisions have high impact.

• Opportunity to mentor and help shape frontend practices and standards.

• Competitive compensation and benefits.

• Flexible / remote work policy.

• We own and solve problems with high attention to detail.

• Our open source contributors, users, customers & team are all part of our community. When our community wins, we win.
