Dropbox | Engineering | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite
Dropbox builds what is (by some measure) one of the largest distributed systems on the planet -- hundreds of millions of devices syncing amidst each other, pushing around both data and metadata at a scale that only a handful of companies across the world could muster.
We're hiring for pretty much any role you could imagine, but I'll give a particular plug for the team I lead here: Sync Platform. Sync Platform houses all of the core sync logic that makes Dropbox tick, from the core sync engine itself to the metadata stores on the back-end and the sync protocol we speak between them. We're rebuilding significant pieces of our entire stack in preparation for the next ten years (as we've already been around for ten). These are some of the biggest changes to sync since the company was founded.
We're looking for motivated senior-level engineers. We write mostly in Rust, Go and Python. We do a lot of distributed systems work, so expertise there is a bonus but by no means a requirement. Keeping our user's data safe and consistent is sacrosanct so most important is a strong attention to detail to ensure that we do right by our users. Equally important is an ability to work constructively in an diverse, equitable and inclusive environment.
