Network Automation Engineer Intern (Summer 2023)

At Dropbox the NRE role is a hybrid network and software engineering role. NREs are Software Engineers (SWE’s) focused specifically on the availability, durability, observability, latency, performance, and scalability/capacity of Network Infrastructure, as well as the overall toil required to operate our services.

NRE is not just about monitoring and protecting network services 24/7.  It’s about improving those processes with system design, automation, tooling, and software development so that systems require less human intervention. NREs utilize this combination of software , systems and network engineering to build and run large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant networks.

NRE are responsible for and take the lead on reliability, automation, and other issues related to KTLO (Keeping The Lights On) in an organization.
