Role Description

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 to lead 0–1 initiatives that are critical to the company’s future, while building a reliable, high-performance, and intuitive foundation that powers core workflows such as uploading, retrieving, organizing, and acting on content.

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.

Our Engineering Career Framework is viewable by anyone outside the company and describes what’s expected for our engineers at each of our career levels. Check out our blog post on this topic and more here.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Many teams at Dropbox run Services with on-call rotations, which entails being available for calls during both core and non-core business hours. If a team has an on-call rotation, all engineers on the team are expected to participate in the rotation as part of their employment. Applicants are encouraged to ask for more details of the rotations to which the applicant is applying.
