Job description

Box (NYSE:BOX) is the leader in Intelligent Content Management. Our platform enables organizations to fuel collaboration, manage the entire content lifecycle, secure critical content, and transform business workflows with enterprise AI. We help companies thrive in the new AI‑first era of business. Founded in 2005, Box simplifies work for leading global organizations, including JLL, Morgan Stanley, and Nationwide. Box is headquartered in Redwood City, CA, with offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

By joining Box, you will have the unique opportunity to continue driving our platform forward. Content powers how we work. It’s the billions of files and information flowing across teams, departments, and key business processes every single day: contracts, invoices, employee records, financials, product specs, marketing assets, and more. Our mission is to bring intelligence to the world of content management and empower our customers to completely transform workflows across their organizations. With the combination of AI and enterprise content, the opportunity has never been greater to transform how the world works together, and at Box you will be on the front lines of this massive shift.

We are an AI‑first company. This means you approach your work with a growth mindset and find ways to leverage AI to help make faster, smarter decisions that will 10X your impact at Box.

Why Box Needs You?

Box is growing rapidly, and in order to reach every customer in the world, it’s critical for us to build a best‑in‑class Cloud Engineering function to efficiently scale Box across a robust hybrid cloud infrastructure and AI platform. As a Cloud Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring secure, compliant and efficient usage of multiple major public cloud providers (e.g. AWS, GCP, IBM, Azure, etc.), manage and scale Box’s public cloud platform, AI platform growth, and multi‑cloud initiatives. You will develop software and leverage existing tools, automate and improve routine cloud management changes. CSE work directly affects how fast internal teams can provision environments without weakening compliance, identity, or cost controls. This role is a strong fit if you like platform engineering with real production ownership, not only feature development.

What You’ll Do:

• Implement and support automation for GCP projects and AWS accounts (lifecycle, IAM bindings, workload identity, access patterns).
• Troubleshoot Terraform/IaC deployments, state issues, and provider‑specific IAM problems.
• Partner with service owners on initial landing‑zone setup; document what CSE owns vs what teams own after onboarding.
• Apply shared patterns across tenants; extend or adapt solutions for other clouds when needed.
• Collaborate with other internal teams on designs that span providers.

Self‑service & Reliability

• Improve internal workflows and internal automation.
• Participate in CSE on‑call; write and update runbooks; follow Box change management practices.
• Contribute to logging/audit paths and remediation of access/compliance findings.

Team Practices

• Participate in code review, design discussions, and sprint delivery.
• Document solutions for the next engineer – important on a backfill where continuity matters.

Who You Are:

• You have 6+ years of experience in software engineering, infrastructure engineering, or platform/SRE‑style work.
• You have experience with Linux and system fundamentals, hypervisor.
• You have hands‑on GCP and AWS experience (at least one in depth; strong interest to grow in the other).
• You have used Terraform (or equivalent IaC) in real environments—not only tutorials.
• You have solid understanding of cloud IAM (service accounts, roles, policies, groups, federation basics).
• You have familiarity with CI/CD and safe production change practices.
• You have excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a sense of urgency and impatience infused with infectious enthusiasm to drive our vision.
• You communicate fluently in English.

Nice to Have:

• Kubernetes / GKE or EKS onboarding experience.
• Jenkins, Prefect, or internal workflow platforms.
• Internal platform or “paved path” work (self‑service portals, ticket‑driven provisioning).
• FinOps exposure (budgets, cost visibility).
• Azure or additional cloud provider experience.

Box lives its values, with community and in‑person collaboration being a core part of our culture. Boxers are expected to work from their assigned office aminimum of 3 days per week, with a focus on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Your recruiter will share more about how we work and company culture during the hiring process.
