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.

  • Effectively communicate the engineering development perspective and discuss sophisticated topics with technical and non-technical team members
  • Define and uphold standards for quality through constructive code reviews, bug fixing, testing, and coding practices
  • Work closely with specialist Gecko teams to bring browser functionality to Android
  • Address problems that span all levels from the Java API layer, to JavaScript and into the C++ browser engine
  • Provide solutions and feedback to Mozilla's lively and dynamic open-source community to improve our Android solutions and support Mozilla’s manifesto

What you bring

  • Several years of experience building complex applications for a broad and diverse user base using Java, Kotlin, and/or C++
  • Experience resolving problems, signaling risk, fostering change, and facilitating collaborative decision-making
  • Passion for building excellent products, and a sense of ownership that spans from design to investigating and squashing bugs.
  • Modern programming practices (code review, unit testing, automation)
  • Work as part of a team in a fast-paced environment to deliver well-designed, reusable, and high-quality code on time
  • Unafraid of asking questions, and proposing new insights if you think they will make a positive impact.
  • Desire to work with, learn, and grow with an outstanding group of people
  • Commitment to our values:
  • Welcoming differences
  • Being relationship-minded
  • Practicing responsible participation
  • Having grit

What you’ll get:

  • Generous performance-based bonus plans to all eligible employees - we share in our success as one team
  • Rich medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous retirement contributions with 100% immediate vesting (regardless of whether you contribute)
