About the Role

At Dropbox, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Software space, Design a more enlightened way of working for everyone, everywhere.

<h2>Role Description</h2>

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Design Systems team who will help define and build the next generation of how designers and engineers at Dropbox create products, spanning UI infrastructure, design systems, and AI-native development workflows. You will evolve our design system, build intelligent tooling, and integrate AI agents into the design-to-code lifecycle to improve speed, quality, and consistency.

This role blends foundational front-end engineering with AI-assisted and agent-driven workflows. You will work on scalable component architecture, design system governance, AI-powered developer tooling, and automation of design and engineering handoffs. Your work will directly influence how products are built across Dropbox.

You will play a crucial part in shaping how AI transforms product development. You will gain deep exposure to senior leadership, contribute to high-impact platform investments, and help define new ways of working at the intersection of design, engineering, and machine intelligence.

We are looking for a tinkerer at heart, someone who experiments, iterates, and pushes beyond conventional solutions. You approach emerging technologies, particularly AI and automation, as practical tools to reimagine workflows and unlock new capabilities. You bring curiosity, resilience, and a bias toward action, with the discipline to turn ambiguous ideas into production-ready systems others can rely on.
