WHY BOX NEEDS YOU 

 

The Core Data team at Box designs, develops and maintains data stores that underpin all Box services. We process tens of millions of interactions per second on behalf of Box customers. Our three top-level concerns are high availability, strict consistency and low latency (not necessarily in that order). Maintaining a mission-critical service with these requirements demands top-notch operational agility with tools and automations to enable it. We're staffing up an extension of the Core Data team in Toronto to help us strive for this level of excellence. If you're a toolsmith passionate about building ergonomic automations with a particular focus on high-throughput, low-latency, strictly consistent data access service, this job has your name all over it. For more insight into the day-to-day work at Box's Core Data team, please see the following:

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Work with team members to design novel approaches to addressing observability challenges associated with running Box Core Data services.
  • Develop utilities to identify, eliminate and prevent future occurrences of data inconsistencies or corruptions.
  • Collaborate with other Core Data teams to integrate tools and automations you build into the ecosystem that powers data access at Box.
  • Help define the future of Box Core Data architecture and evolve our systems towards it.
  • Effectively communicate the takeaways from the projects you undertake to the Box engineering team as well as more broadly within the industry.

 

WHO YOU ARE 

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Mathematics or a related field
  • 4+ years of experience working with software
  • Strong understanding of common algorithms, data structures and code design principles
  • Strong sense of ownership, persistence and drive
