Our Engineering Career Framework is viewable by anyone outside the company and describes what's expected for our engineers at each of our career levels. Check out our blog post on this topic and more here.

Responsibilities
  • Build, maintain, and evolve Dropbox's DIG design system iOS component library using Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit.

  • Improve internal documentation, onboarding, and tooling to accelerate adoption.
  • Provide support and advocacy across product teams via code reviews, pairing, and developer experience improvements.
  • Ensure design system components meet accessibility, performance, and testability standards.

Many teams at Dropbox run Services with on-call rotations, which entails being available for calls during both core and non-core business hours. If a team has an on-call rotation, all engineers on the team are expected to participate in the rotation as part of their employment. Applicants are encouraged to ask for more details of the rotations to which the applicant is applying.

  • 8+ years of professional iOS development experience with proven contributions to shared UI libraries or design systems.
  • Strong proficiency in Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit; familiarity with modern paradigms (Combine, Swift Concurrency, MVVM).
  • Solid understanding of Apple HIG and accessibility (WCAG) standards.
  • Experience with design-to-code workflows (e.g., Figma tokens, variables, tooling integrations).
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with ability to align engineers and designers.
  • Track record of writing clean, maintainable, and testable code.
  • Experience with CI/CD, developer tooling, or automation for design system workflows.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience scaling design systems in multi-platform environments (iOS, Android, Web).
  • Working knowledge of Objective-C or additional mobile platforms.
  • Experience with the Android ecosystem also a plus.
  • Familiarity with performance optimization, UI testing, or analytics instrumentation.
