IGNITE Engineering Apprenticeship (Spring 2022) - Location Flexible
Role Description
Have you been to a coding bootcamp, and are you looking to get exposure to the tech industry? Have you developed programming skills at a previous job and are now looking to transition to a career in software engineering? Dropbox IGNITE is an apprenticeship program geared towards professionals with non-traditional software engineering backgrounds who are looking to start or re-start their professional career.
We’re looking for candidates with excitement for the job, tenacity, and the dedication to learn and improve. Dropbox IGNITE aims to provide you with a six month immersive engineering experience. As a member of one of our Software Engineering, Mobile Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams, you will learn the skills needed to transition into the tech industry alongside a cohort of fellow apprentices.
During the apprenticeship, you will be paired with a dedicated mentor committed to guiding you through the program. You can also expect to collaborate with full-time engineers and receive consistent and constructive feedback. Our goal is to curate a robust learning experience, build your professional network, and bring your engineering skills to Dropbox!
