Our strategy starts with our mission: how do we build the right set of products that can help our customers work in a more enlightened way? If the first big problem Dropbox solved was getting your files in the cloud, the new problem we’re solving is helping you organize your life.

As we’re evolving the core business from syncing and sharing files, we are looking for Senior Software Engineers to come build the next generation of new products for collaboration and distributed work. Product Engineers thrive working across technologies and codebases, but are also involved in leading various product development cycle stages. Along the way they are expected to fully represent the users needs through close partnership with product, design, and user research.

In this role you will build best-in-breed software by architecting and delivering scalable systems that power optimized user experiences like Dropbox Paper, Transfer, or Family. As a Senior Product Engineer, you will support data-driven approaches to conduct experiments or iterate features, while ensuring that the software we write will last and scale. You advocate for simple solutions and designs over complex ones, knowing when to move fast and when to do things right.

Responsibilities

You will articulate a technical vision for a more enlightened way of working and work with multi-functional partners to deliver that vision
You will write full-stack code as we expect our technical leadership to be in the trenches alongside junior engineers, understanding root causes and leading by example
You will partner with product managers, designers and analysts to deeply understand the needs of our users and build a product that serves those needs
You will develop and execute against both short and long-term roadmaps, making effective tradeoffs between business impact, user experience, and a high-quality technical foundation
You will improve the team and company – you will be an active participant in our culture (mentorship, interviewing, and new initiatives)
You will own relationships with other engineering teams and collaborate with other functions within Dropbox

Requirements

BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience
5+ years of software engineering and/or work related industry experience
Previous success developing and shipping a large-scale web application with a user-empathetic mindset
Skilled at building user-facing applications and supporting systems and libraries on web and/or desktop using front-end technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular, HTML5, CSS3
You can handle full-stack projects and are able to build a minimum working product quickly

VIRTUAL FIRST

The workplace of the future

As the makers of software that helps people work from anywhere, it’s only fitting that Dropbox attributes virtual collaboration as key to its thriving business. Its products are defined by bringing people together to work and share content across time zones, keeping everyone in the loop with real-time updates about the latest projects or changes. “Virtual First is one of the key reasons I love working here,” Amado Hidalgo, who works in global solutions enablement, said. “We may not realize it sometimes, but we’re leading the revolution of the way people work.”

I talk to friends and customers at other companies about how they do things, and we’re light years ahead!

FREEDOM AND FLEXIBILITY

Focusing on work that matters

Dropbox has embraced the brave new world of distributed work — and it’s anything but scary. The team is thriving under its Virtual First model, maintaining its tight-knit culture while empowering people to work wherever they’re most effective. “Point-blank, Virtual First allows me to have flexibility in creating my own schedule — something I’ve never had the luxury of doing in the past,” Sourcing Manager Lauren Korth said. “The entire company is mindful when booking meetings, encourages working asynchronously when needed and is respectful of everyone’s personal time.”

As a mother of two, I am able to prioritize the small moments with my children that I would not have the opportunity to do if I were working in an office.

A more enlightened way of working

Remote work may have started as a necessity, but Virtual First is now an indispensable tool for Sudipti Garvey. “Virtual First means having the best mental health I’ve ever had,” the Seattle-based product designer said, highlighting one of the many significant benefits of Dropbox’s shift to a digital workplace. “The time I spend at work is much more productive since I don’t have any distractions and can control my time a lot more. I feel much healthier and happier, and I have a lot more time to live life outside of work.

The happier you are in your day-to-day life, the better you’re able to show up for work in the same way.
