I need to schedule an on-site and I was wondering what are some good infra teams to work for at Dropbox. Can someone with some concrete info please help? By good I mean the team that's solving problems at scale in the backend/db or distributed systems. Also if you can share how the interviews differ for product vs the infra role? I've ~5yoe total. Thank you.

Almost all infra teams solve problem at scale. Lots of projects and not enough people. What are you interested in?
I know I'm not very much interested in product development... Rather I'm interested in scaling web services instead e.g. I'd love you work on storage or database technologies, but I don't have experience with that. So not sure if I qualify for that.
You don't really need deep expertise in these areas to join one of these teams. People move around all the time. You just need to be familiar with some of the basic principles behind these systems. The recruiter should help you get in touch with a manager on one of these teams and they can share more info and you can explore possible options
