- Your responsibilities will revolve around developing and enhancing our product to deliver exceptional user experiences — working closely with cross-functional teams to turn innovative ideas into robust, scalable, and user-friendly features

- Mentor teammates, providing actionable feedback to help teammates grow into the next level
- Participate in on-call rotations, which entails being available for calls during both core and non-core business hours, and debug customer issues using logs, metrics, and traces
Our take
Dropbox started by helping people bring together their files in one central place. The contents of these folders are synchronised to Dropbox's servers along with other computers and devices where the user has installed Dropbox, keeping the same files up-to-date across all devices.
Nowadays, there are lots of competing companies in cloud storage, and some with better distribution (e.g. Google and Apple). This explains why Dropbox is making a big push to reinvent itself after a fairly disappointing run since its IPO in 2018. The new Dropbox turns folders into "Spaces", which are collaboration hubs for teams, complete with comment streams, artificial intelligence tools and integrations into services such as Slack.
The company continues to build out its offerings through acquisitions, such as that of Formswift, bolstering its end-to-end agreement workflow capabilities. Indeed, It's very clear that Dropbox is trying to make a big move from being just a storage company. This seems to be a necessary move given the competitive nature of the industry it is operating within.
