Why Box needs you

Box is looking for visionary technical leaders for our engineering teams in Warsaw, who will lead, inspire, and mentor engineers, while bridging communication between the US and Poland engineering hubs, and fostering a positive and collaborative work environment. The engineering manager role at Box involves spearheading significant technology initiatives, overseeing the entire lifecycle of projects across multiple architectural layers. Your knowledge can be vital for improving Box product and solving exciting challenges related to Cloud Content Management.

We are currently looking for leaders for the following teams:

• Partner Integrations team develops new apps, product integrations, and frameworks to support our growing list of strategic partners and inspire the broader ecosystem of developers. Our goal is to build a powerful best-of-breed cloud stack with a single content layer. That way, our customers can connect the content flow across their favorite business apps. We are a fast-paced and high impact team that is helping Box and our partners build world-class enterprise solutions that will both delight and empower our customers.
  
  
• Core Data team at Box builds and manages distributed services that ensure fast, reliable, and scalable access to user data graphs. Box developers handle millions of requests per second, while we ensure enterprise-level uptime, consistency, and performance. The Event Stream team, a new part of Core Data, focuses on near-realtime access to data through a change data stream and scalable data warehouse. These systems already support key use cases like search and reporting, and the team aims to enhance them for broader adoption across engineering.
  
  
• Messaging team manages some of the most critical asynchronous pipelines powering many of Box’s core products and features. Millions of events flow through the Messaging pipelines every second and they are delivered in near real-time to all its clients. Messaging is building the next generation of pipelines and services to enable its clients to define custom async processing and filtering preferences on all Domain events within Box and to receive those events at the right time.
