About the Role
<h2>Role Description</h2> <div> <p><span class=" author-d-1gg9uz65z1iz85zgdz68zmqkz84zo2qotuz85zgnz90zacz87zz122zgvz72zz86z85z67z5pz70zloy4qz74zz67zz73zz66znz70ze">As a Data Engineer on Analytics Data Engineering, you will build and operate the pipelines and data models the rest of Dropbox relies on to understand its products and its business. You will own well-scoped pipelines end to end — design, build, test, ship, monitor — with senior engineers alongside you for the harder architectural calls. Your work feeds the datamarts and KPIs used by data science, product, and company leadership, so the quality of what you build is visible quickly. This is a build-oriented team on a modern stack rather than a maintenance role, and a strong place to develop into an engineer who can own a full data domain.</span></p> <p><span class=" author-d-iz88z86z86za0dz67zz78zz78zz74zz68zjz80zz71z9iz90z95lz89zy6z71zz79zz84zz68zyz69zupz72zz79zcz69zz76zkz79zp1z66ztz67zxz71zz89zz86zz71z">Our Engineering Career Framework is </span><span class="attrlink url author-d-iz88z86z86za0dz67zz78zz78zz74zz68zjz80zz71z9iz90z95lz89zy6z71zz79zz84zz68zyz69zupz72zz79zcz69zz76zkz79zp1z66ztz67zxz71zz89zz86zz71z"><a class="attrlink" href="https://dropbox.github.io/dbx-career-framework/" target="_blank" data-target-href="https://dropbox.github.io/dbx-career-framework/"><u>viewable by anyone outside the company</u></a></span><span class=" author-d-iz88z86z86za0dz67zz78zz78zz74zz68zjz80zz71z9iz90z95lz89zy6z71zz79zz84zz68zyz69zupz72zz79zcz69zz76zkz79zp1z66ztz67zxz71zz89zz86zz71z"> and describes what’s expected for our engineers at each of our career levels.
