Role Responsibilities

Dropbox is looking for front-end software engineers to come build the future of work collaboration. We are looking for people who share our passion and belief that the best technology is simple, beautiful, accessible and usable. Using modern front-end technology (e.g. TypeScript, React, Redux) we expect front-end engineers to fully represent users' needs through close partnership with product, design, and user research.

You will be working on marquee projects like The New Dropbox, Document Previews or Dropbox Paper. As a front-end engineer you are expected to architect, develop and release user-facing features and ensure the quality of our product continues to serve the needs of our tens of millions of users.

Responsibilities

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 take full ownership of engineering projects from design to implementation to deployment and maintenance
You will design and build software capable of reaching millions of daily users in JavaScript and (sometimes) in HTML/CSS and Python
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 improve the team and company – you will be an active participant in our culture (mentorship, interviewing, and new initiatives)
You will be a member of the JS Guild, our internal community for Frontend Engineers. You will have the opportunity to present tech talks or write blog posts.

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
2+ years of frontend software engineering and/or work related industry experience
Previous success developing and shipping a large-scale web application with a user-empathetic mindset
Skilled with web technologies including JavaScript (framework of your choice), HTML, and CSS

Marley Spector

Director of Product, Dropbox Dash

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.

Sheila Wakida

Senior Director of Software Engineering

BUILDING CULTURE

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.”

I strive towards doing the best possible work at the highest level of quality that I can deliver, no matter how big or small the task.

Damian Łukasik

Engineering Manager

ASYNC BY DEFAULT

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.

I give my team space to own products and solutions and then support them in making those solutions successful.

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.
