Dropbox is a Virtual First company. For this role, we are currently only authorized to hire candidates from the following provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan.
Dropbox is evolving. AI is no longer a differentiator, it’s the new default. We’ve launched Dropbox Dash, an AI-powered universal search that connects all your apps, content, and tools into one search bar. Now we’re bringing that power directly into the heart of Dropbox: our File, Sync, and Share (FSS) experience used by millions.
We’re looking for senior engineers to help us embed Dash into Core, not just as a future vision, but as an immediate, top-priority initiative. You’ll work on projects that reimagine how people interact with their files: from an AI-powered onboarding experience that activates users from their first upload, to smarter ways of organizing and retrieving media using generative AI and semantic search.
This is a high-impact role with visibility, urgency, and a clear mandate: use AI to make Dropbox smarter, simpler, and more useful for the people who rely on it every day.
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.

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.
