We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser. 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.

  • Help to educate engineers on other teams about writing more performant code through code reviews, giving talks, and / or writing documentation

  • Commitment to our values : Welcoming differences, Being relationship-minded, Practicing responsible participation, Having grit
  • Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with Android or Windows OS application programming, profiling and debugging
