Role Description

At Dropbox the SRE (Site Reliability Engineer) role is a hybrid systems and software engineering role. SREs are SWEs focused specifically on the availability, durability, observability, latency, performance, and scalability/capacity of Dropbox, as well as the overall toil required to operate our services.

SRE is not just about monitoring and protecting Dropbox services 24/7. It’s about improving those processes with system design, automation, tooling, and software development so that systems require less human intervention. SREs utilize this combination of software and systems engineering to build and run large scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems.

SREs utilize this combination of software and systems engineering to build and run large scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems. They are responsible for and take the lead on reliability, automation, and other issues related to KTLO (Keep The Lights On) in an organization. SREs are integrated with critical infrastructure and product teams and take part in developing software, maintaining it, and scaling it, whether for our user-facing products or the underlying hardware infrastructure that allows us to deliver them.

Example SRE projects:

Build an auto-remediation system to automatically resolve production incidents before escalating them to on-call engineers
Design the system and processes that Dropbox engineers use to deploy their software into production
Drive the company through “Disaster Recovery Tests”, where we manually turn down pieces of infrastructure to test Dropbox’s overall resiliency to failures

Requirements

Currently pursuing a Computer Science or related degree in a technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience
Strong analytical, presentation, verbal, and written communication skills

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.
