Role Description At Dropbox, we believe in simplifying the way people work together. Our mission is to empower teams to build robust, scalable, and delightful web products with confidence. Web DX team supports this mission by creating and maintaining the build systems and developer tools that make engineering at Dropbox faster, more reliable, and more productive. As a Software Engineer on the Web DX team, you’ll contribute to projects that improve the daily workflows of Dropbox web engineers. You will help build and refine the tools and systems that power tasks such as faster builds, smoother testing, type safety, and scalable internationalization—directly impacting developer productivity and confidence. Within Web DX, the Web Build team focuses on build-time systems and tooling, including Bazel rules, TypeScript and React integrations, i18n pipelines, and JS package management and bundling. In this role, you’ll gain valuable exposure to modern build technologies, collaborate with senior engineers to identify and solve developer pain points, and grow your expertise in scaling developer experience across a large engineering organization. This role is an excellent opportunity to develop platform engineering skills, contribute to high-impact systems used by hundreds of engineers, and learn how to shape web development practices at scale. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values technical excellence, thoughtful abstractions, and building tools that last. 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.
