[Hiring] Software Engineer, AI @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 close to 50 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 experienced software engineer, AI to help build our next generation of AI-powered browser features at Brave. We're seeking someone who can evaluate, integrate, and optimize state-of-the-art language models, while working closely with our browser development, design, and product teams. We’re working on new ways of browsing, applying new ideas and reinventing features to make Brave even better. Brave Browser is used by nearly 100M users, and they are already embracing our leading AI features. [...more ]
