Role Description

At Dropbox, our Mobile Infrastructure team plays a critical role in ensuring that our engineers can build, test, and ship world-class mobile experiences with speed and reliability. We are looking for an engineer who can help elevate this foundation and bring our systems to the next level.

In this role, you will own and evolve our Bazel build system while driving improvements to our CI/CD pipeline through tools such as Buildkite. You’ll partner closely with other engineers to streamline workflows, resolve bottlenecks, and create scalable solutions that empower teams across Dropbox. With your expertise in Bazel, CI/CD, and iOS development, you’ll not only maintain and optimize our infrastructure but also enable our developers to work more efficiently and effectively.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the core systems that power Dropbox mobile development, collaborate with talented cross-functional teams, and directly influence the velocity and quality of how we deliver Dropbox to millions of users worldwide.

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.

  • 5+ years of experience
  • Understanding of operation/administration CI/CD systems (e.g Buildkite, CircleCI, Jenkins)
