Dropbox is hiring a Staff Backend Product Software Engineer to architect and deliver core systems for their Multi-Product Experience team. You'll work with technologies like Java and distributed systems to enhance customer interactions across products. This role requires significant experience in backend engineering and system design.
You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience building production systems at scale — you've owned services from design through deployment and have navigated complex distributed systems challenges. Your deep expertise in Java allows you to create high-performance applications that handle millions of requests, and you have strong opinions on service architecture and testing strategies. You thrive in ambiguous problem spaces and enjoy system-level design, particularly in building scalable, user-facing commerce and identity systems. Your experience includes designing developer platforms or reusable frameworks that support multi-product environments, and you have a track record of setting technical direction across teams while driving the adoption of new system patterns.
Experience with subscription lifecycle management and entitlements is a plus, as is familiarity with cross-product admin workflows. You are comfortable collaborating with Product, Design, and Engineering Managers to shape long-term architecture while delivering near-term improvements that increase conversion and reduce friction.
As a Staff Backend Product Software Engineer at Dropbox, you will architect and deliver high-impact systems that power multi-product checkout, trials, entitlements, and subscription lifecycle management.

Your role will involve partnering closely with various teams to create cohesive customer journeys and enhance the overall user experience.
