Role Description
Our strategy starts with our mission: how do we build the right set of products that can help our customers work in a more enlightened way? If the first big problem Dropbox solved was getting your files in the cloud, the new problem we’re solving is helping you organize your life.
As we’re evolving the core business from syncing and sharing files, we are looking for Software Engineers to come build the next generation of new products for collaboration and distributed work. Product Engineers thrive working across technologies and codebases, but are also involved in various product development cycle stages. Along the way they help representing users needs through close partnership with product, design, and user research.
In this role you will deliver best-in-breed software by building robust systems that power optimized user experiences on marquee projects like Dropbox Paper, Transfer, or Family. As a Product Engineer, you will use data-driven approaches to conduct experiments or iterate features, while ensuring that the software we write will last and scale.
Responsibilities
  • You will design and build software capable of reaching millions of daily users
  • You will partner with product managers, designers and analysts to deeply understand the needs of our users and build a product that serves those needs
  • You will develop and execute against both short and long-term roadmaps, making effective tradeoffs between business impact, user experience, and a high-quality technical foundation
  • You will improve the team and company – you will be an active participant in our culture (mentorship, interviewing, and new initiatives)
  • You will support your fellow engineers through feedback, code reviews, and advancement of internal tools and processes
Requirements
  • BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience
  • 5+ years of software engineering and/or work related industry experience
  • Previous success developing and shipping a large-scale web application with a user-empathetic mindset
  • Skilled at building user-facing applications and supporting systems and libraries on web and/or desktop using front-end technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular, HTML5, CSS3
  • You can handle full-stack projects and are able to build a minimum working product quickly
Total Rewards
Our Engineering Career Framework is viewable by anyone outside the company and describes what’s expected for our engineers at each of our career levels. Check out our blog post on this topic and more here.

At Dropbox, we strive to be a great place for all Dropboxers to grow and be recognized for that growth. This job posting reflects broad requirements, and represents two potential levels of role. Through our assessment process, we will identify your level that ties to compensation based on your experience and technical expertise along with the scope of the role. 

For candidates hired in San Francisco metro, New York City metro, or Seattle metro, the expected salary/On-Target Earnings (OTE) range for the role is currently $187,000 - $220,000 - $253,000 at the IC3 level. 

For candidates hired in the following locations: Austin (TX) metro, Chicago metro, California (outside SF metro), Colorado, Connecticut (outside NYC metro), Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York (outside NYC metro), Oregon, Pennsylvania (outside NYC or DC metro), Washington (outside Seattle metro) and Washington DC metro, the expected salary/On-Target Earnings (OTE) range for the role is currently $168,300 - $198,000 - $227,700 at the IC3 level. 

For candidates hired in all other US locations, the expected salary/On-Target Earnings (OTE) range for this role is currently $149,600 - $176,000 - $202,400 at the IC3 level. 

Range(s) is subject to change. Dropbox takes a number of factors into account when determining individual starting pay, including job and level they are hired into, location/metropolitan area, skillset, and peer compensation. Dropbox uses the zip code of an employee’s remote work location to determine which metropolitan pay range we use. 

Salary/OTE is just one component of Dropbox’s total rewards package. All regular employees are also eligible for the corporate bonus program or a sales incentive (target included in OTE) as well as stock in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).

VIRTUAL FIRST
The workplace of the future
As the makers of software that helps people work from anywhere, it’s only fitting that Dropbox attributes virtual collaboration as key to its thriving business. Its products are defined by bringing people together to work and share content across time zones, keeping everyone in the loop with real-time updates about the latest projects or changes. “Virtual First is one of the key reasons I love working here,” Amado Hidalgo, who works in global solutions enablement, said. “We may not realize it sometimes, but we’re leading the revolution of the way people work.”

I talk to friends and customers at other companies about how they do things, and we’re light years ahead!

FREEDOM AND FLEXIBILITY
Focusing on work that matters
Dropbox has embraced the brave new world of distributed work — and it’s anything but scary. The team is thriving under its Virtual First model, maintaining its tight-knit culture while empowering people to work wherever they’re most effective. “Point-blank, Virtual First allows me to have flexibility in creating my own schedule — something I’ve never had the luxury of doing in the past,” Sourcing Manager Lauren Korth said. “The entire company is mindful when booking meetings, encourages working asynchronously when needed and is respectful of everyone’s personal time.”

As a mother of two, I am able to prioritize the small moments with my children that I would not have the opportunity to do if I were working in an office.

ASYNC BY DEFAULT
A more enlightened way of working
Remote work may have started as a necessity, but Virtual First is now an indispensable tool for Sudipti Garvey. “Virtual First means having the best mental health I’ve ever had,” the Seattle-based product designer said, highlighting one of the many significant benefits of Dropbox’s shift to a digital workplace. “The time I spend at work is much more productive since I don’t have any distractions and can control my time a lot more. I feel much healthier and happier, and I have a lot more time to live life outside of work.

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.
