Description

Role Description

Our strategy starts with our mission: how do we build the right set of products that can help our customers work in a more enlightened way? If the first big problem Dropbox solved was getting your files in the cloud, the new problem we’re solving is helping you organize your life.

As we evolve from syncing and sharing files to providing advanced solutions for collaboration and distributed work, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Privacy Engineering team. Our Privacy Engineering team is crucial in ensuring that our products maintain the highest standards of user privacy and data security.

In this role, you will architect and deliver scalable systems ensuring user privacy and data security across Dropbox products. You will work closely with product managers, designers, and user researchers to understand user needs and lead various stages of product development. Utilizing your expertise in computational techniques, you will conduct research to develop innovative privacy-preserving solutions while mentoring junior engineers and participating in our company culture. Additionally, you will collaborate with other engineering teams and functions within Dropbox, balancing business impact, user experience, and technical quality.

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

  • You will articulate a technical vision for enhanced privacy and data security and work with multi-functional partners to deliver that vision.
  • You will translate latest computational research on enforcing Privacy into a Product roadmap. 
  • You will write full-stack code, understanding root causes, and leading by example in technical excellence. 
  • You will have proficiency in utilizing Data to drive product metrics (ML or Decision Science is not needed but good to have) 
  • You will partner with product managers, designers, and analysts to deeply understand the needs of our users and build products that serve those needs.
  • You will develop and execute against both short and long-term roadmaps, making effective tradeoffs between business impact, user experience, and a high-quality technical foundation.
  • You will own relationships with other engineering teams and collaborate with other functions within Dropbox.

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.

Requirements

  • BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience.
  • 8+ years of software engineering and/or work-related industry experience.
  • Demonstrated success in developing and shipping large-scale web applications with a user-centric mindset.
  • Skilled at building user-facing software and supporting systems and libraries for the web and/or desktop.
  • Proficient in handling full-stack projects and capable of building a minimum viable product quickly.
  • Experience with differential privacy and conducting privacy-related research.
  • Understanding of ML based techniques(statsig) for driving product metrics.
  • Strong understanding of privacy engineering principles and best practices.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Contributions to open source projects or technical communities

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
