About Brave

Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. We’ve built a free web browser that blocks creepy ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with a truly independent index, a browser-native crypto wallet, and a private ad network (opt-in!) that directly rewards you for your attention. And we’re just getting started. Already 90 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.

The internet is a sea of ads, hackers, and echo chambers. Big Tech makes huge profits off our data, and tells us what’s true and what’s not. Brave is fighting back. Join us!

Brave is looking for an engineer who can help us improve and scale our services. VPN, Leo, Talk and others rely on our backend service infrastructure to deliver a private, premium experience to our users. These services are written entirely in Go and deployed as services onto AWS. We are looking for an experienced Go engineer who can take whole solutions from end to end.
