Role Description
Dropbox is exploring 0→1 opportunities and building new products that will make a difference in the lives of Dropbox customers and employees! We are looking for a resourceful full-stack engineer to help us explore these opportunities via rapid prototyping, on our way to find a product-market fit. Ideally, you are at your best when you are in fast-paced and startup-like teams, shipping customer-facing products and having a deep curiosity which leads you to build side projects of your own. If you are an engineer who enjoys taking ownership of your projects and making things happen in the face of ambiguity, we want to hear from you!
Our Engineering Career Framework is viewable by anyone outside the company and describes what’s expected for our engineers at each of our career levels. Check out our blog post on this topic and more here.

Applicants are encouraged to ask for more details of the rotations to which the applicant is applying.
