What the job involves

• We’re looking for senior engineers to help us embed Dash into Core, not just as a future vision, but as an immediate, top-priority initiative
• You’ll work on projects that reimagine how people interact with their files: from an AI-powered onboarding experience that activates users from their first upload, to smarter ways of organizing and retrieving media using generative AI and semantic search
• This is a high-impact role with visibility, urgency, and a clear mandate: use AI to make Dropbox smarter, simpler, and more useful for the people who rely on it every day
• Design and build AI-powered product experiences directly into the Dropbox FSS flow
• Collaborate with product and design partners to bring Dash capabilities (search, ask, summarize) into the Core experience
• Use AI to simplify key user journeys, like onboarding and team setup
• Work end-to-end: define, prototype, ship, and iterate on features in production
• Drive the integration between Dropbox’s AI platform and product surface areas
• 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
• The Dropbox Engineering Team builds the technology that creates more enlightened ways of working for hundreds of millions of people
• Every day, our platforms—including Dropbox Dash, Dropbox Sign, and our core sync engine—handle over a billion files for users worldwide, creating engineering challenges as great as the opportunity for impact
• Our software engineering team uses a range of technologies to solve interesting problems, including Python, React, Node.js, JavaScript, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Android development
• We think like a startup but build for an enterprise, exploring new possibilities that transform how people work
• Areas of work include Machine Learning Engineers, Infrastructure Engineer, Product SWE Frontend and Backend, Mobile Software Engineers (iOS and Android), Engineering Manager, Data Engineer, Software Development Engineer in Test, Security Engineering, Site Reliability Engineer, Technical Program Managers, Network Engineer, Datacenter Engineer, Technical Supply Chain Manager and more

Benefits

• On-site fitness and meditation classes
