Role Description

As a Staff Backend Software Engineer focused on the Commerce Platform within the Business Platform org, you will play a critical role in building and evolving the systems that power how Dropbox monetizes its products across all sales motions. You will own and influence systems spanning Salesforce CRM, CPQ, Billing, Partner Portal, and their integrations into the broader Commerce ecosystem, driving improvements in platform architecture, system simplification, and data consistency across complex, distributed workflows.

You will be responsible for driving technical strategy across a highly customized, revenue-critical platform, including planning and executing modernization efforts, measuring system reliability and data integrity, and evaluating tradeoffs between short-term business needs and long-term platform health. You will operate at the intersection of engineering, Sales, and Finance, with high visibility and ownership over decisions that directly impact revenue, customer experience, and the scalability of Dropbox’s monetization systems.
