Oct 31, 2024 - Mozilla is hiring a remote Staff Software Engineer, Networking. 💸 Salary: $163,000 - $237,000 usd. 📍Location: USA.
Why Mozilla?
Mozilla Corporation is the non-profit-backed technology company that has shaped the internet for the better over the last 25 years. We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser, and Pocket, a service for keeping up with the best content online. 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.
What is a Staff Software Engineer at Mozilla?
A Staff Software Engineer is the next level from a Senior Software Engineer. At Mozilla this role can vary, but typically a Staff Engineer leads projects that require you to influence or direct the work of several engineers. Providing technical leadership, building team relationships, and helping the teams deliver on their objectives. The Staff Engineer is an expert in their domain. They provide feedback on our strategy and team goals, turning strategy into coordinated action for the team. They mentor others by stewarding responsibilities to junior and senior engineers so they can take on new ones, while collaborating with management on building team consensus and providing technical direction.
About this team and role:
The Mozilla Corporation's networking team is looking for a skilled developer to work on a first-class networking stack and improve web experiences for many millions of Firefox users on desktop and mobile. The team is working on the core of the browser that moves the web. The fundamental network protocols and features like HTTP, QUIC, caching and DNS are our responsibility. We strive to provide a performant and secure browsing experience for our users. Furthermore, we work on advanced web platform networking API’s like Fetch, WebSockets and WebTransport. We improve our existing implementations and together with the broader community we advance the web through making contributions to the evolution of relevant standards.
Is improving networking protocols or multi-threaded applications an exciting challenge for you? If you’re also enthusiastic about working collaboratively with a worldwide community, we'd love to hear from you!
Opportunities to collaborate with other browser teams, and working in the open is the norm. Firefox is a mature open source project always looking for new improvements. Much of Firefox is written in C++, but most recent components are written in Rust, including our QUIC stack. You’ll be responsible for defining projects, writing open source code, tests, specifications, building prototypes, solving problems, and analyzing data. You are encouraged to present your work in the web community, collaborate with academia, or contribute to relevant Internet standards. You'll get feedback from real users and synthesize it into bug reports, feature designs, and strategic direction to make the web platform even better over time.
