WHY BOX NEEDS YOU 

Box’s File System is not like the file system on your laptop. It’s the very core of the Box product. Virtually every feature at Box interacts with the File System, making it perhaps the most critical part of our architecture. It is a single, constantly evolving platform for content access, used by both internal and external clients, and serving tens of thousands of customers (including most of the Fortune 500), and millions of users. The Box File System operates at millions of requests per second and through its advanced permissions system secures the hundreds of billions of pieces of content stored in Box. It also manages the collaboration on that content, which is one of the foundational capabilities of Box that is used by virtually every customer. Box is focused on bringing its vision for the future of content management to the rest of the working world, and continuing to enhance the scale and capabilities of the Box File System is a vital part of this journey. That’s where you come in.
