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 third-party 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 100 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.

The internet is a sea of privacy-harmful 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!

Summary

We are hiring a member of the Brave browser privacy engineering team to work on browser privacy, security and website compatibility.

As a senior software engineer working on the privacy team, your responsibilities will include:

  • Prototyping and implementing privacy-enhancing features in C++ for Brave browser (based on Chromium)
  • Reverse-engineering and debugging parts of the Web (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) that interact badly with Brave’s cutting-edge privacy protections (example: digging into website functionality that breaks because of Brave’s anti-fingerprinting mitigations)
  • Developing both categorical improvements and fixing individual websites when it comes to privacy and website compatibility for Brave browser
Required qualifications
  • Expert in C++ and JavaScript. At least 5 years of experience is preferred
  • Happy debugging and reverse engineering complex JavaScript
  • Very comfortable working and communicating async with a geographically-distributed software development team
  • Familiarity with Web technologies and the Web security model
  • Be comfortable diving into an extremely large, unfamiliar and complex codebase
  • Proficiency working with Git and comfortable working on GitHub
Preferred qualifications
  • Experience contributing to large open source codebases and/or participating in open source communities (almost all of our work at Brave is done in the open on GitHub)
  • Contributions to other Web browsers
  • Familiarity with Chromium's architecture
  • Familiarity with the adblocking ecosystem
  • Experience auditing C++ code for security issues
  • Ability to write clear technical documentation and less technical writing for blog posts or public communication. 
  • Be excited about privacy, anonymity, and censorship resistance!

Working at Brave

  • Industry-leader in privacy, with an award-winning privacy engineering team that’s innovating everyday to keep people safer online and beat Big Tech
  • Highly competitive salaries & benefits, and generous home-office stipends
  • Fully remote team (no office, no commute) with a low-meeting culture
  • Welcoming, humble, ridiculously smart teammates, and a truly flat org structure
  • Opportunity to get in early at a hyper-growth company, and revolutionize the web
  • Oh, and did we mention Brendan Eich, our CEO & co-founder, invented JavaScript?
