  • Partner with engineering to triage internal/external bug reports and reproduce reported issues
  • Identify quality gaps/opportunities and develop proactive solutions to address them yourself or by leading/supporting team members and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Develop relationships with counterparts on partner teams to align on integration efforts and dependencies

Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience
  • 6+ years industry experience in Quality Assurance; 10+ years preferred
  • Expertise in manual testing across multiple platforms and testing techniques
  • Proven technical expertise, such as via programming experience or academic coursework in Computer Science
  • Strong QA project/technical leadership experience + working across multiple teams
  • Dedication to quality and process improvement with a positive, collaborative attitude and approach to testing
  • Comfortable working in a dynamic, low-structure, constantly changing atmosphere and prioritizing work appropriately

Benefits and Perks

  • 401k + company match
  • Market competitive total compensation package
  • Free Dropbox space for your friends and family
  • Wellness Reimbursement

Passion Behind the Product
Cultivating Cross-Functional Collaboration
When asked about how the team successfully got the Dash product across the finish line, Marley Spector credits the team's cross-functional collaboration as the key to their success. "I collaborated with everyone from product, design, engineering, data science, research, support, marketing, legal, finance, sales and more. We would not have been able to build Dash for our users without tight collaboration. From the beginning, we ensured that the whole team really had an ownership mindset — no decision should take longer than five days to make," she said. "This wasn’t just our team; it was a full organization effort."

What I love about our cross-functional collaboration is being candid but not combative, critical but not cynical.

PASSION BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Creating Impact From Opportunity
When Sheila Wakida first joined Dropbox in 2018, she knew joining the company would offer a supportive culture and a new set of opportunities for her career. Wakida also knew that her personal growth journey relied on her own ability to find passion, excitement and pride in her work. “I attribute my career growth to the unique ways in which Dropbox recognizes impact and hard work, and I’ve learned to focus on creating the most impact out of the opportunities in front of me,” she said. “Dropbox recognizes those who are brave enough to transform challenges into opportunities.”

Supporting Solutions
As the engineering manager for Dropbox’s international growth team, Damian Łukasik spends his days helping a team of engineers build solutions to serve the company’s customers outside of the United States and helping to grow the Poland engineering hub. While his role encompasses an array of responsibilities, Łukasik’s mission is clear across functions: to build a strong foundation for Dropbox’s international team to scale. And he knows exactly what will make that possible: a collaborative internal culture and a customer-centric approach to make the right choices as the team moves forward.

Additional Perks + Benefits

In order to be successful in our Virtual First environment we needed to make changes that would allow employees to have more control over both where and how they work. Therefore, we embrace “non-linear workdays” with defined core collaboration hours that overlap across time zones. Beyond that, we encourage employees to design their own schedules to balance collaboration with needs for individual focus. We’ve also moved from “all day syncs” to an “async by default” culture, reserving meetings for discussion, debate, and decision-making, and handling all other work in our deep focus hours.
