Company mission
Dropbox's mission is to design a more enlightened way of working.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for engineers that will thrive in a fast paced environment where we prioritize shipping early and often to get key user signal and keep iterating. And who will collaborate very closely with Xfn partners and multiple platform teams across Dropbox
- 5+ years of software engineering experience
- Strong Product Thinking – Ability to understand user needs, contribute to product vision, and drive impactful solutions
- Cross-Functional Collaboration – Comfortable working closely with Product, Design, and multiple engineering teams to drive initiatives forward
- Independence & Problem-Solving – Self-motivated, able to dive into new areas, experiment with different approaches, and drive execution with minimal guidance
- Full-Stack Expertise – Experience working across both Frontend (React, TypeScript) and Backend (Python) is a plus
- Experience with Experimentation – Familiarity with A/B testing, user adoption strategies, and growth-driven development in a product-focused environment
- Performance Optimization – Knowledge of scaling, performance tuning, and optimizing multi-surface applications
Desirable
- Growth & Experimentation Mindset – Prior experience working with growth teams, leveraging A/B testing to identify and drive effective user growth initiatives
- Cross-Functional Collaboration – Experience working on core product engineering teams, collaborating closely with Product, Design, Marketing, and other stakeholders to build impactful user experiences
- Frontend Expertise & Prototyping Agility – Strong frontend development skills (React, TypeScript, or similar) with the ability to quickly dive into new areas, build rapid prototypes, and iterate efficiently
What the job involves
- The Core Web Experience team (formerly Bridge FSS+Dash team) has been working on one of the company’s top priorities to integrate Dash’s AI capabilities (e.g. Chat side bar) within the FSS product
- We will continue this work in 2026 to add more contextual value and drive up engagement. We will also focus on simplifying how customers accomplish the jobs they already hire Dropbox for (e.g. search and file actions) and the broader workflow around those jobs
- This is a great opportunity for both:
- 0-1 projects that are critical to the company’s future
- Build a reliable, performant, and intuitive foundation that supports core jobs like uploading, retrieving, organizing, and acting on content
- Integrate Dash capabilities in the FSS product – Develop and implement thoughtful, contextual ways to integrate Dash capabilities (e.g. Chat) in our FSS product, ensuring a seamless experience
- Simplify and build a reliable and performant foundation that supports core jobs like uploading, retrieving, organizing, and acting on content
- Cross-Functional Collaboration – Work closely with Product and Design to shape vision, contribute to planning, and execute on high-impact initiatives
- Full stack Development – Build and optimize user experiences across surfaces, ensuring consistency and performance
- Innovation & Problem-Solving – Explore new areas, experiment with different approaches, and drive solutions that enhance user adoption and engagement
- Independent Ownership – Take full ownership of technical execution, making key decisions while collaborating with multiple teams, including Dash
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.
