About the project

The Payments Team is responsible for building and maintaining Dropbox’s internal payments infrastructure — a robust, in-house alternative to third-party providers. The team supports all critical components of our financial ecosystem, including payment processing, authentication (e.g., 3DS), transaction flows, risk management, and revenue recognition.
As part of a strategic initiative to expand our global presence and to accelerate opportunities in Payments-driven revenue we’re building an entirely new Payments team based in Poland. The entire team, including engineering manager, product manager, and data scientist will be based on Poland. As a member of this new team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to shape the technical direction, culture, and processes of a high-impact engineering group from the ground up.
On-call work may be necessary occasionally to help address bugs, outages, or other operational issues, with the goal of maintaining a stable and high-quality experience for our customers.
