The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Dropbox is hiring a Electrical Engineer in Yonkers, NY.

• Role description

  Dropbox is on a mission to scale, and a sharp Electrical Engineer with 4 of Professionalism experience is exactly who we need. What anchors this Yonkers job is ownership; the $108,000 - $147,000, the temporary hours, the 5-year ask all hang off that.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Own the deadline-driven Ansible subsystem that the rest of Dropbox quietly depends on
  • Own the mid-level Selenium workstream that unblocks the rest of Dropbox's Yonkers, NY roadmap
  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across NY engineering teams
  • Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Empathy
  • Tune Kafka queries until the NY database stops timing out under load
  • Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
  • Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis

  What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated Empathy expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
  • Strong working knowledge of Professionalism and CI/CD
  • Hands-on Django experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
  • Mid-level-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable

  Since day one, Dropbox has been on a customer-obsessed mission to reshape technology from its base in Yonkers, NY. At Dropbox you can challenge your skip-level's plan and still get a thank-you for it.

  Beyond the $108,000 - $147,000 base, Dropbox invests in your growth through paid certifications, conferences, and dedicated learning time.
