We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser. Now, with more than 225 million people around the world using our products each month, we’re shaping the next 25 years of technology and helping to reclaim an internet built for people, not companies. Our work focuses on diverse areas including AI, social media, security and more. And we’re doing this while never losing our focus on our core mission – to make the internet better for people. 

The Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the non-profit 501(c) Mozilla Foundation. This means we aren’t beholden to any shareholders — only to our mission. Along with thousands of volunteer contributors and collaborators all over the world, Mozillians design, build and distribute open-source software that enables people to enjoy the internet on their terms. 

About this team and role:

The Firefox team is a community of engineers who care deeply about delivering the fastest, friendliest, most usable browser possible. We are responsible for making the things you see in the browser work securely, quickly, and well!  Working in the open is the norm, and we contribute to the code driving the Firefox browser on a number of desktop platforms - Windows, Linux, and macOS. Our focus is on implementing and fixing things in Firefox as well as helping other teams make it excellent for our users.

The Firefox Desktop Engineering Manager directs a team of geographically distributed engineers to constantly drive improvements to Firefox through innovations and enhancements to the browser user interface.  We need a leader who is dedicated to building exceptional teams, creating innovative solutions, delivering top-notch software, and influencing how the world uses the internet.

Feel good about your work again! Pursue your future while working to protect the future of the internet for everyone, everywhere.

What you’ll do: 

  • Drive initiatives to deliver value to our users while ensuring the software your team delivers is high quality, highly available, monitored, and maintainable.
  • Communicate your team’s goals, the scope and risks of your projects, and own the delivery of initiatives on clear timelines.
  • Identify, build and iterate on engineering processes that support a high performing team. 
  • Engage regularly 1-1 with your team to discuss both technical work and professional development; provide direct and honest feedback about their individual performances
  • Ensure developers are properly supported and empowered throughout the developer lifecycle.
  • Create an inclusive environment which engages and challenges your team members. 
  • Work collaboratively with many teams including Product, UX, QA, Operations, and Data Analysis.

What you’ll bring: 

  • 3+ years leading engineers in a software development environment and working across multiple distributed teams.
  • Software engineering background that empowers you to drive technical decisions within the team and engage with engineers at all levels of seniority to triage, prioritize and implement.
  • Proven track record successfully leading and shipping sophisticated software projects on time in a loosely structured environment.
  • Strong communication and ability to develop positive relationships with others, regardless of their rank or role.
  • Passion to resolve problems, manage risk, lead change, and facilitate collaborative decision-making.
  • Experience effectively communicating with senior leadership and advocating for engineering priorities.
  • Desire to grow and learn as a manager, grow and develop others, and get results through others rather than personal technical proficiency.
  • Able to hire, mentor, empower, develop, and delegate to geographically distributed team members with different skills from your own.
  • Commitment to our values:
    • Welcoming differences
    • Being relationship-minded
    • Practicing responsible participation
    • Having grit
