  • You will set direction for the team and help guide engineering vision

  • You will write code as we expect our technical leadership to be in the trenches alongside junior engineers, understanding root causes and leading by example
  • You will mentor engineers, both junior and senior
  • You will own relationships with other engineering teams and collaborate with other functions within Dropbox
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
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience
  • Solid CS fundamentals with experience across a range of disciplines, with one or more area of deep knowledge and experience
