Role Description

Our Engineering team is architecting and building a family of new highly scalable systems and software capabilities that handle a massive amount of traffic and data to detect abusive behavior and trigger mitigations that aim to make our products safe for customers. We take on the complexities of technology that affect everyday life, so people can get back to living and doing their best work.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will contribute in a multitude of ways, from building insights through data, architecting phenomenal systems, creating and encouraging good software development practices, driving strategic technical improvements, and mentoring other engineers.

  • You will set direction for the team and help guide engineering vision
  • You will proactively address technical debt; you will operate your systems in production
  • You will architect important systems and anticipate strategic and scaling-related challenges via thoughtful long-term planning
  • You will write code as we expect our technical leadership to be in the trenches alongside junior engineers, understanding root causes and leading by example
  • You will mentor engineers, both junior and senior
  • You will own relationships with other engineering teams and collaborate with other functions within Dropbox

Requirements

  • BS (or higher, e.g., MS, or PhD) in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience
  • Solid CS fundamentals with experience across a range of disciplines, with one or more area of deep knowledge and experience

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.
