Job Description

Role DescriptionAs a Site Reliability Engineer focused on company-wide reliability strategy, you will play a crucial role in advancing Dropbox’s stability, observability, incident response, and operat

Key Highlights

  • Define and evolve Dropbox’s company-wide technical reliability strategy to support the changing engineering environment created by AI-assisted and agentic software development.
  • Set multi-year reliability goals, standards, and roadmaps across observability, debugging, incident management, service health, and operational readiness.
  • Lead cross-team initiatives that reduce reliability risk as software delivery velocity, pull request volume, service complexity, and incident volume increase.
  • Partner with engineering leaders and platform teams to improve monitoring, alerting, debugging, SLOs, SLAs, and incident response systems at company scale.
  • Identify emerging reliability risks introduced by AI-enabled development workflows and design scalable systems, processes, and guardrails to mitigate them.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding(e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience.
  • 12+ years of experience in software engineering, site reliability engineering, infrastructure engineering, or related technical roles.
  • Proven ability to define and deliver multi-year, multi-team reliability, infrastructure, or platform strategies with measurable business and customer impact.
  • Deep experience with distributed systems, production operations, observability, incident response, SLOs/SLAs, debugging, and reliability risk management.
  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose complex technical problems, debug production systems, automate operational workflows, and design resilient software components.
  • Experience influencing engineering roadmaps across multiple teams and making technical decisions that optimize for the broader engineering organization.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to align cross-functional stakeholders through ambiguity and drive execution across teams.
  • Experience adapting reliability strategies, developer tooling, or operational processes for AI-assisted software development workflows.
  • Experience building or scaling observability, debugging, incident management, or developer productivity platforms for large engineering organizations.
  • Experience leading reliability improvements in environments with high deployment velocity, complex service dependencies, and large-scale production systems.
  • Track record of mentoring senior engineers, setting technical standards, and spreading reliability best practices through documentation, reviews, talks, or architecture guidance.
  • Familiarity with AI-enabled tooling, agentic development workflows, or operational risks introduced by rapid automation in the software development lifecycle.
