Virtual First

Dropbox's Virtual First way of working is designed to help people do their best work with flexibility, autonomy, and connection. Day to day, teams work remotely with nonlinear schedules and core collaboration hours that support deep focus and individual working styles. We prioritize asynchronous communication to improve clarity, respect deep work time, and reduce unnecessary meetings. While remote work is the primary experience for our employees, we also prioritize intentional, in-person connection. We bring teams together through regular team gatherings, on-demand workspaces, and Dropbox Neighborhood events in order to strengthen team cohesion, foster creativity, and enhance momentum. Virtual First is built to provide the same access to opportunity, growth, and impact for everyone, regardless of location.

This role requires travel to offsites and various other team gatherings (approximately 5-10% of the year or 2-3 days per quarter). We provide advance notice when possible and encourage candidates to discuss any accommodation needs during the interview process.

AI Fluency

At Dropbox, AI fluency is a core part of how we work and grow. It's not about being an AI expert, it's about how thoughtfully and effectively you use AI to improve your work and support others. We look for four key behaviors in our candidates:

• AI Ownership: You use AI responsibly\u2014protecting data, applying sound judgment, and taking accountability for the quality and accuracy of your work.
• AI Experimentation: You actively explore new AI capabilities and apply them to improve workflows, staying within approved tools and practices.
• AI Leverage: You use AI as a multiplier, enhancing your thinking, increasing efficiency, and improving the impact of your work and your team's work.
• AI Learning: You stay current on emerging tools and trends, continuously build your skills, and share what you learn with others.

Together, these behaviors build an AI-fluent workforce where technology amplifies human judgment, creativity, and impact.

Dropbox supports responsible use of AI for preparation, but misrepresentation of skills or experience is not permitted. See our AI Principles.

Dropbox is an equal opportunity employer. We are a welcoming place for everyone, and we do our best to make sure all people feel supported and connected at work.
