What is Box?
Box's standard text
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. Box is headquartered in Redwood City, CA, with offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
By joining Box, you will have the unique opportunity to continue driving our platform forward. Content powers how we work. It's the billions of files and information flowing across teams, departments, and key business processes every single day: contracts, invoices, employee records, financials, product specs, marketing assets, and more.
Our mission is to bring intelligence to the world of content management and empower our customers to completely transform workflows across their organizations. With the combination of AI and enterprise content, the opportunity has never been greater to transform how the world works together and at Box you will be on the front lines of this massive shift.
Why Box Needs You
As a Software Engineer on the Automate team, you will be at the heart of Box's workflow automation platform - a product that empowers millions of users to automate complex business processes without writing code. The Automate team is a growing organization of ~30 engineers across four specialized teams, responsible for building the intelligent automation engine, intuitive user interface, and seamless integrations that enable organizations to transform how they work.
In this role, you will design and develop full-stack solutions with a strong emphasis on backend - you'll spend the majority of your time architecting and building the distributed systems that power our automation engine, while also owning frontend work in React/TypeScript to a solid professional standard. We expect you to be genuinely capable on both ends of the stack, not just backend-comfortable with occasional frontend exposure. You'll work with Java and React/TypeScript to build scalable, performant systems that handle millions of workflow executions daily.
You'll collaborate with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to innovate on automation capabilities, improve user experience, and integrate with enterprise applications. Your work will directly impact how customers streamline their most critical business processes - from contract lifecycle management to invoice processing to employee onboarding.
What You'll Do
Design and implement features for the Box Automate platform - leading with backend architecture and distributed systems design, while delivering polished, production-quality frontend work in React/TypeScript
Develop and optimize backend services that power workflow automation, ensuring high performance, reliability, and scalability across distributed systems
Build responsive, intuitive user interfaces in React that enable users to create, configure, and monitor automated workflows
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, design, and infrastructure to define requirements, propose technical solutions, and deliver features on schedule
Participate in code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to engineering best practices and architectural decisions
Participate in our on-call rotation - when it's your week, you're expected to be reachable outside business hours, including evenings and weekends, to respond to production incidents
Attend and engage in weekly stand-ups, team meetings, and manager 1:1s to ensure alignment and continuous improvement
