WHY BOX NEEDS YOU?
You'll be at the heart of how the world accesses its content. The Storage Clients team builds the critical gateway services that power every upload, download, and collaboration at Box, and we need a Senior Software Engineer to help us scale to the next level. Your work will directly enable millions of users to sync files via SFTP, download ZIP archives of their content, collaborate on Microsoft Office documents, and move content through email integrations. This is infrastructure that touches every Box customer, every day, across an exabyte-scale platform spanning in multiple GCP and AWS regions worldwide.
The challenge is real, and so is the opportunity. You'll solve complex distributed systems problems: ensuring data consistency across regions, optimizing global latency and building resilient services using Java, Scala, Kubernetes and more. With new integration patterns emerging, you'll have the autonomy to drive technical direction, mentor engineers, and shape how enterprises move their most critical content. If you're excited about distributed systems at global scale and want to see your code power the infrastructure that millions depend on, we want to hear from you.
