WHY BOX NEEDS YOU
Every file previewed, every document shared, every task completed — our engineering team builds the core experiences that make it all happen. We're evolving our React architecture into a faster, more reliable, and delightful experience — built for an AI-driven world — while shipping new features customers are actively asking for. If you're excited by building at scale, partnering closely with Product and Design, and leading complex architectural evolution with zero downtime, this role is for you.
As a Senior Software Engineer focused on frontend, you'll drive end-to-end delivery of high-impact features, contribute to our next-generation architecture and design blueprints, and amplify our velocity and output. You'll work on a team that actively embraces AI-assisted tooling and workflows while staying grounded in strong engineering fundamentals — writing clean code, making thoughtful design decisions, and building systems that last. You'll also take part in releases and on-call rotations to keep our core workflows available and performant.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead development of React-based features for core web experiences, with a focus on evolving the preview experience and other high-impact user flows.
- Drive the evolution of our frontend architecture toward modern, scalable design systems with a focus on performance and accessibility.
- Collaborate with Product Managers and Designers to translate customer requests into clear requirements and iterative roadmaps.
- Own complex projects from design to launch, including testing, instrumentation, and rollouts.
- Contribute to frontend architecture, coding standards, and reusable UI components.
- Partner with backend engineers to define APIs and ensure seamless end-to-end functionality.
- Collaborate across time zones with a partner engineering team in Poland to coordinate on shared features and architectural decisions.
- Leverage AI-assisted tooling to accelerate development, improve code quality, and push our architecture forward — while applying the engineering judgment to know when it helps and when it doesn't.
- Participate in our on-call rotation, available at all times while on-call to help respond to and triage any issues that arise.
WHO YOU ARE
