Who We Are

Hi, we’re DuckDuckGo, the online protection company and remote-first team of 400+ on a mission to raise the standard of trust online. Founded in 2008 and profitable since 2014, annual revenue now exceeds $100m USD and millions use our browser on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, our search engine, and the DuckDuckGo subscription. We also offer private, useful, and optional AI, including Duck.ai, which lets you chat privately with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AIs, all in one place. Our culture of trust, inclusivity, and empowered project management underpins everything we do, where each team member takes full ownership of their projects, from scoping and execution to postmortem. If you’re seeking end-to-end ownership of your work, you’ve come to the right place!

You’ll also own recurring deliverables, including forecast variance, user metrics, P&L and headcount analyses. You’ll help scale the team’s processes, using AI tools like Claude and BI tools like Tableau and Grafana to make workflows more efficient. We’re a collaborative, transparent, self-motivated team. If our core values (build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction) resonate with you, you’ll fit right in!
