Job Description

• Lead and mentor a team of 15 to 20 engineers to deliver high-impact business and customer outcomes. • Shape technical direction and partner with Product Management as the DRI for critical company-wide objectives. • Own massive, ambiguous technical and product problems that create company-wide opportunity. • Be a prolific, hands-on coder who owns and implements the most critical, complex, and foundational components of the system. • Influence roadmaps across orgs, breaking silos and steering decisions that change how Dropbox builds. • Architect foundational systems that enable new product capabilities and operate reliably at the scale of hundreds of millions of users. • Demonstrate senior technical leadership and maintain high engineering standards in a virtual-first environment.

Job Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics) or equivalent technical experience
  • Minimum of 12 years of experience as a software engineer
  • Must have worked in a consumer user-facing team (versus a platform team, a developer-facing API-based product, etc)
  • Must have a strong mix of skills and depth across multiple areas, including three or more of frontend, mobile, search, databases, storage, concurrency, and modern ML and LLM-based APIs and agentic frameworks

Benefits

  • Many teams at Dropbox run Services with on-call rotations, which entails being available for calls during both core and non-core business hours. If a team has an on-call rotation, all engineers on the team are expected to participate in the rotation as part of their employment.
