About The Position

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.
The Governance team’s mission is to transform the way critical business content is governed in the cloud in order to reduce regulatory, legal, and compliance risk for our customers. Governance is the highest revenue-yielding add-on product at Box and our work is in the critical path of Box’s success with high visibility from both inside and outside the company. We help our customers solve the immensely complex problem of meeting regulatory compliance at scale, in a way that does not negatively impact their ability to run the business. None of this can happen without top-of-the-line engineers, who are not only exceptional technologists but also strong communicators who are collaborative and easy to work with.
