By joining Box, you will have the unique opportunity to continue driving our platform forward. Content powers how we work.

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

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.
