Software Engineer

The Firefox team is a community of engineers who care deeply about delivering the fastest, friendliest, most usable browser possible. We are responsible for making the things you see in the browser work securely, quickly, and well! The Enterprise team is a cross-disciplinary team in charge of improving and maintaining Firefox support for large Enterprise deployments. As part of the team, you will be responsible for all things related to OS integration - such as updates, installs, and integrating Firefox with the different operating systems - and helping us grow our user base.

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

A Senior Software Engineer contributes to architectural discussions, and driving feature development within a team. At Mozilla, Senior Engineers are expected to work independently on scoped projects, collaborate closely with peers, and play a key role in delivering high-quality software that aligns with team goals.
