Why Mozilla?

Mozilla Corporation is a 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. With over 225 million people using our products monthly, we are shaping the next 25 years of technology and helping to reclaim an internet built for people, not companies. Our work spans diverse areas including AI, social media, and security, all while staying true to our core mission of making the internet better for people.

The Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the non-profit 501(c) Mozilla Foundation, meaning we are driven by our mission, not by shareholders. Alongside thousands of volunteer contributors globally, Mozillians design, build, and distribute open-source software that empowers people to experience the internet on their own terms.

The Opportunity

At Mozilla, we are building the future of the web—a future that is fast, private, inclusive, and people-centric. As mobile becomes the primary way billions access the internet, our mission to deliver a secure, transparent, and user-centric browser is more critical than ever.

We are seeking a Staff Android Engineer to help evolve Firefox for Android, an open-source browser with over 100 million downloads on the Google Play Store. In this role, you will shape architecture, mentor engineers, and drive technical direction, contributing to a product that embodies Mozilla’s values of openness, innovation, and privacy.
