Role Description

Dropbox is looking for software engineers to come build the next generation of work collaboration tools. This role is for engineers who are looking to specialize in desktop platform development. The Desktop Developer Experience team builds core desktop technologies that have enabled Dropbox to pivot into the foreground space.

 

The platform we build centers on a core developed in Rust and utilizes web technologies to render rich experience to our users on Mac, Linux, and Windows. As part of the team, you would be central to empowering our product engineers to quickly innovate on desktop. We’re in the midst of evolving the platform to leverage new technologies such as Electron. A primary role for this position will be to execute on and help shape that vision.

  • You will build a platform that can be leveraged by product engineers so that they can be as productive as possible
  • You will write modular, secure, and well-tested code
  • You will design and build software capable of reaching millions of daily users in Rust and Typescript with React
  • You will ensure that our development environment is best in class by delivering improvements to internal tooling and direct partnership with our product platform teams
  • You will work closely with customer support to respond quickly to issues for our users and solve those in a permanent and scalable way
  • You will articulate a technical vision for a more enlightened way of working and work with multi-functional partners to deliver that vision

Requirements

  • BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience
  • 2+ years of work related industry experience
  • A desire to take Dropbox even further. If these large-scale projects resonate, we'd love to learn more about you and find out if we can work together
  • Familiarity with Rust and/or Typescript/Javascript (Electron/Node). Some familiarity with Python, C/C++ and Objective-C will also be helpful

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.
