Deine Rolle im Team
- As an Open Source Engineer at NetBird, you'll focus on building and shipping features for the open-source community, especially homelabbers, self-hosters, and technical power users.

- You'll spend most of your time writing code, talking to the community and experimenting features that make NetBird more useful, flexible, and fun to run in real-world setups.
- You will:
- Build and ship open-source features used by homelabbers and self-hosters.
- Work across the stack to improve self-hosting, local deployments and community-driven use cases.
- Pick up ideas directly from GitHub issues, discussions, and community feedback and turn them into working code.
- Improve developer experience, docs, examples and setup flows for OSS users.
- Review and collaborate on community pull requests as a peer, not a gatekeeper.
- Maintain and improve tooling around local dev, Docker, Kubernetes, and self-hosted environments.
- Experiment with new ideas, integrations, and workflows that make NetBird easier to hack on.
- Help keep NetBird approachable, hackable, and fun for contributors.
