In their own words

About the company & team

Mozilla Corporation is the non-profit-backed technology company that has shaped the internet for the better over the last 25 years. 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.

We are looking for an experienced and versatile software engineer to work on the tools and systems that support Firefox engineering.

This is a broad software engineering role spanning internal engineering systems, developer tooling, workflow automation, and the infrastructure required to operate them. We are looking for an engineer with strong software development skills and meaningful experience deploying and operating production systems.

Our Cloud Engineering teams provide shared platforms and foundational services, while engineering teams own the applications and services they run on them. A key part of this role is helping teams succeed in that model by solving difficult operational problems, establishing standards and patterns, and building tooling and automation that makes systems easier to operate. You will also contribute directly to the software, tools, and systems that support Firefox engineering.

You will work across projects and technical domains, joining teams or existing efforts when needed and independently taking on problems that require focused ownership.

We build in the open. Open source is fundamental to how we work, and contributing back to the broader open-source ecosystem is an important part of the role.
