ROLE DESCRIPTION
As a Staff Backend Software Engineer focused on the Commerce Platform within the Business Platform org, you will play a critical role in building and evolving the systems that power how Dropbox monetizes its products across all sales motions. You will own and influence systems spanning Salesforce CRM, CPQ, Billing, Partner Portal, and their integrations into the broader Commerce ecosystem, driving improvements in platform architecture, system simplification, and data consistency across complex, distributed workflows. You will be responsible for driving technical strategy across a highly customized, revenue-critical platform, including planning and executing modernization efforts, measuring system reliability and data integrity, and evaluating tradeoffs between short-term business needs and long-term platform health. You will operate at the intersection of engineering, Sales, and Finance, with high visibility and ownership over decisions that directly impact revenue, customer experience, and the scalability of Dropbox’s monetization systems. Our Engineering Career Framework is viewable by anyone outside the company and describes what’s expected for our engineers at each of our career levels. Check out our blog post on this topic and more here.
Responsibilities

- Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Sales, Finance, and GTM teams to translate business requirements into durable technical solutions.
- Identify and execute on opportunities to improve data integrity, system observability, and operational efficiency across the platform.
- Take ownership of large, ambiguous problem spaces and drive them from definition through execution, influencing both technical and business stakeholders.
Many teams at Dropbox run Services with on-call rotations, which entails being available for calls during both core and non-core business hours. If a team has an on-call rotation, all engineers on the team are expected to participate in the rotation as part of their employment. Applicants are encouraged to ask for more details of the rotations to which the applicant is applying.

- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience influencing cross-functional stakeholders.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with CRM, CPQ, Billing, ecommerce, or similar enterprise workflow platforms (e.g., Salesforce).

VIRTUAL FIRST
Dropbox’s Virtual First way of working is designed to help people do their best work with flexibility, autonomy, and connection. Day to day, teams work remotely with nonlinear schedules and core collaboration hours that support deep focus and individual working styles. We prioritize asynchronous communication to improve clarity, respect deep work time, and reduce unnecessary meetings. While remote work is the primary experience for our employees, we also prioritize intentional, in-person connection. We bring teams together through regular team gatherings, on-demand workspaces, and Dropbox Neighborhood events in order to strengthen team cohesion, foster creativity, and enhance momentum. Virtual First is built to provide the same access to opportunity, growth, and impact for everyone, regardless of location. This role requires travel to offsites and various other team gatherings (approximately 5-10% of the year or 2-3 days per quarter). We provide advance notice when possible and encourage candidates to discuss any accommodation needs during the interview process. Dropbox supports responsible use of AI for preparation, but misrepresentation of skills or experience is not permitted. See our AI Principles.
Dropbox is an equal opportunity employer. We are a welcoming place for everyone, and we do our best to make sure all people feel supported and connected at work.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Product Software Engineer
Align your degree to the role
Your Australian bachelor's degree must correspond to the product software engineering discipline, not just any technical field. A three-year Australian degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree, but confirm your credentials before applying.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to find companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for software engineering roles. Prior filings signal the employer already understands the E-3 visa sponsorship process and won't stall at the LCA step.
Negotiate sponsorship before signing anything
Raise the E-3 sponsorship requirement during the offer stage, not after you've accepted. Most U.S. employers aren't familiar with the E-3 specifically, so frame it as simpler than H-1B visa: no lottery, no annual cap, and the LCA is employer-filed with the DOL.
Confirm your job description meets specialty occupation
The role must require a degree in a specific technical discipline. Generic software roles described as needing 'any bachelor's degree' can fail the specialty occupation test. Ask your employer to tighten the job description to reference computer science or software engineering specifically.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for LCA and paperwork
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. This covers the DOL certification, DS-160, and consulate preparation so your employer doesn't need to engage separate immigration counsel.
Prepare for nonimmigrant intent questions at the consulate
Consular officers assess whether you intend to return to Australia. Bring documentation of your ties back home, such as property ownership, family connections, or superannuation activity, alongside your employment offer and certified LCA to support your E-3 application.
E-3 Visa Product Software Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Product Software Engineer jobs with E-3 sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the recommended way to search for Product Software Engineer roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship. Because the E-3 is specific to Australian nationals, most general job boards don't filter for it. Migrate Mate surfaces roles based on sponsorship history and E-3 eligibility so you're not applying blind.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Product Software Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field like computer science, software engineering, or a closely related discipline. The DOL and USCIS look at whether the degree is a standard minimum for the position, not just preferred. If the job description only says 'bachelor's degree in any field,' the role may not meet the specialty occupation threshold and the employer should revise it before filing the LCA.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Product Software Engineer roles?
For Australian nationals, the E-3 is significantly more accessible. The H-1B is subject to an annual cap of 85,000 and a randomized lottery, meaning a qualified candidate can be rejected purely by chance. The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, so there's no lottery and no waiting period. Both require a specialty occupation job offer and a certified LCA, but the E-3 process is faster and more predictable for software engineering roles.
Can I change employers or switch from a startup to a larger company while on an E-3?
Yes, but you need a new LCA and a new visa or amended status before starting with the new employer. The E-3 is employer-specific, so your current approval doesn't transfer. If you're changing jobs inside the U.S., your new employer files a fresh LCA with the DOL and you either apply for a change of status with USCIS or obtain a new E-3 stamp at a consulate before your next international trip.
