Why Box Needs You?

The Data Platform infrastructure powers many of Boxs core products & features like Box Shield, Box Drive, real-time notifications etc., as well as critical backend services such as search indexing, conversion etc. It handles petabytes of data & processes millions of messages per second & enables product innovation by making it really easy for Box developers to build applications for storing & managing large collections of structured data. It manages Boxs entire events pipeline & streaming APIs for users, & their backing metadata stores. It also provides the backend for delivering all the notifications to our user applications across various platforms. Data Platform powers asynchronous job processing for all the internal Box services as well, via its Pub/Sub messaging layer & its homegrown queueing service. 

Notifications team is part of Boxs Data Platform, its goal is to provide unified end-to-end experience to all Box clients using every channel (web, desktop, mobile, mail) - right channel at the right time. We are primarily working on building greenfield, GCP-hosted services using Java 17, Kubernetes & various storage & streaming technologies like Firestore, BigTable, BigQuery, PubSub. We are looking for engineers to help us build user settings & user management layer with future shift towards building self-service capabilities for Data Platform.
