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.

The Desktop Engineering team is looking for a Frontend Engineer to work on high impact user-facing features and capabilities in Firefox, greatly expanding the value and agency of our web browser for loyal and new users alike.

Our team is geographically-distributed, and working in the open is the norm. We contribute to the code driving the Firefox browser on a number of desktop platforms - Windows, Linux, and macOS.

  • Promote and maintain high standards of code-quality, focusing on performance, testing, security, usability, accessibility and maintainability
  • Work with driven, committed team members to bring the open web to people around the world
  • Contribute to improving engineering practices and procedures

What you’ll bring: 

  • 5+ years of experience in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Redux, and browser-based UI development
  • Have a strong bias towards action, a willingness to do whatever it takes, and embody show > tell
  • Have a strong sense of agency, effectively prioritizing and unblocking yourself without much outside input
  • Value taking ownership and responsibility for your projects and systems
  • A background in shipping high quality software
  • Interest in and ability to work with a distributed team (requires good asynchronous written communication skills as well as good verbal communication skills)
  • Willingness to provide and receive constructive feedback
  • Contributions through asking questions and proposing new ideas

    • Practicing responsible participation
    • Having grit

What you’ll get:

  • Rich medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous retirement contributions with 100% immediate vesting (regardless of whether you contribute)
