Role Description Our Dropbox Infrastructure Engineering team is passionate about building awesome products at massive scale.
We’ve developed a set of values that enable us to do this.
Specifically, we write phenomenal software and sweat the details, focus on impact, and create an enduring culture.
Building elegant products begins with lots of hacking and iteration to explore the problem space.
It culminates in careful attention to edge cases and error handling, polished code, and great tests to ensure that we ship reliable code that never compromises data integrity or security.
Every Dropbox software release improves millions of lives, and you’ll find a high petabyte-to-engineer ratio here.
We’re bold when it comes to shipping high-leverage projects, even if they’re risky or novel.
We care deeply about collaboration, feedback, and iteration.
Trust and respect are deeply rooted in our engineering culture.
At the heart of Dropbox lies the largest networked filesystem in history.
We routinely tackle audacious challenges, often against competitors who have 10-50x our resources.
On top of this foundation, we’re crafting products that enable people to do amazing things with their stuff across all their devices.
