WHAT IS BOX?

Box (NYSE:BOX) is the leader in Intelligent Content Management. Our platform enables organizations to fuel collaboration, manage the entire content lifecycle, secure critical content, and transform business workflows with enterprise AI. We help companies thrive in the new AI‑first era of business. Founded in 2005, Box simplifies work for leading global organizations, including JLL, Morgan Stanley, and Nationwide.

WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

The Content Storage Gateway team manages numerous key components of the Box Content Cloud, including the primary services that enable customers to upload and download their content. Every day we solve problems of both scale and performance — our pipeline handles billions of requests and hundreds of terabytes of data daily for millions of users — not only as Box continues to grow, but to support products like Box AI and intelligent content workflows. As a critical piece of infrastructure that literally all content at Box passes through, we deal in best practices for reliability as a matter of course. We’re also investing in how AI can accelerate our own engineering — from AI‑assisted development workflows to intelligent observability — and we want engineers who are excited to push those boundaries alongside the product work.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Lead design and implementation efforts for new components of our platform. Optimize upload and download pipelines that handle billions of requests and hundreds of terabytes of data daily across a global infrastructure. Design and implement scalable services with a focus on reliability, observability, operability, and efficiency. Use data — metrics, logs, query analysis — to identify bottlenecks, validate changes, and drive architectural decisions. Be heavily involved in setting the platform vision and defining feature roadmaps. Participate in on‑call rotation and drive improvements to incident response and system resilience. Mentor other engineers and contribute to team growth and development. Strengthen engineering processes, principles, and culture within the team by championing a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
