Job Description

• Define and evangelize the long-term product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Dropbox’s Sync Engine — the foundational system that keeps content in perfect harmony across devices and teammates. • Lead and guide product direction for a deeply technical, cross-functional team of engineers, designers, data scientists, and platform partners. • Engage and cultivate relationships with partner teams across Dropbox (Desktop Experience, Mobile, Platform) to align shared goals, manage risks, and drive cohesive cross-surface experiences. • Become an expert in the Dropbox Desktop customer — understanding the needs of both individuals and teams through user research, partner feedback, data insights, and deep technical understanding. • Own complex, multi-quarter initiatives end-to-end, from defining product specs and success metrics to driving cross-company execution and sharing insights and learnings throughout the organization. • Proactively identify opportunities to improve sync reliability, speed, and transparency while maintaining Dropbox’s reputation for simplicity and trust. • Anticipate and adapt to platform evolution (Windows, macOS, Linux), ensuring Dropbox stays ahead of OS and filesystem changes. • Communicate clearly and crisply with leadership, articulating tradeoffs and strategic rationale while driving alignment through both formal processes and scrappy execution.

Job Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience as a Product Manager, with a track record of shipping high-quality, user-facing products in deeply technical domains.
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Information Systems, Applied Math or Statistics, or relevant experience.
  • Strong technical depth — able to engage with senior engineers and make informed tradeoffs on architecture, performance, and scalability — while maintaining a deep empathy for the customer experience.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical systems into simple, delightful, and intuitive user experiences.
  • Proven success driving strategy and execution for platform or client-side technologies — ideally in sync, storage, networking, or distributed systems — that resulted in measurable customer value.
  • Skilled at balancing the “what” and the “how”: you can navigate infrastructure decisions while keeping the end-user experience front and center.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to connect technical performance metrics with customer satisfaction and business outcomes.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills — able to articulate complexity clearly and inspire both engineers and executives.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams in highly collaborative environments and operate effectively amid ambiguity.
