Why Mozilla?

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.

About this team and role:

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.

What is a Staff Software Engineer?

A Staff Software Engineer is the next level up from a Senior Software Engineer. At Mozilla this role can vary, but typically a staff engineer supports an engineering team, providing technical leadership, building cross-team relationships, and helping the team deliver on their objectives.

What you’ll do:

• Develop, innovate, and ship the next experience of Firefox features through installs, updates, and improved OS integrations.
• Improve the ease of use and security of Firefox in large deployments by developing better administration tools.
• Assess what work supports the team and product roadmap and make insightful recommendations in regards to priorities.
• Work with expert software engineers to further develop your understanding of the Windows, macOS and Linux platforms.
• Optimize the quality of Firefox by hunting down and fixing software defects, improving the experience of hundreds of millions of users.
• Work with a geographically-distributed development team.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience with systems programming on a major desktop platform (Windows, macOS or Linux).
• Development experience on Windows and/or macOS, particularly with low-level Win32/Cocoa API coding.
• A solid understanding of C/C++ and some knowledge of Rust.
• You are an excellent communicator and have participated effectively on a distributed team.
• You’re pragmatic about how to move things forward in specific timeframes including trade-offs and safeguards when implementing new functionality.
• Experience working collaboratively with product managers, project managers, and/or other non-engineering teams.

Bonus Points

• Professional programming experience in Rust.
• You have developed cross-platform desktop applications, particularly when this involves low level systems programming.
• You have previously successfully contributed to an open source project.

We value a variety of voices within our team and at Mozilla. You don\'t need to check every box on this list to apply.

What you’ll get:

• Generous performance-based bonus plans to all eligible employees - we share in our success as one team
• Rich medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Generous retirement contributions with 100% immediate vesting (regardless of whether you contribute)
• Quarterly all-company wellness days where everyone takes a pause together
• Country specific holidays plus a day off for your birthday
• One-time home office stipend
• Quarterly well-being stipend
• Considerable paid parental leave
• Employee referral bonus program
• Other benefits (life/AD&D, disability, EAP, etc. - varies by country)
