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. 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.

About This Team And Role

At Mozilla, we believe the internet is a global public resource—open and accessible to all. As a Staff Security Engineer, you'll protect that vision by building, breaking, and hardening products that put people’s privacy and safety first. We are looking for a security practitioner to reduce risk in applications, and ensure our products live up to Mozilla’s dedication to privacy and a joyful Internet. This position is remote‑friendly and open to most locations in the US and Canada.

What You’ll Do

• Safeguard millions of users by embedding security into Firefox, Mozilla VPN, and other mission‑critical products.
• Ensure software products are secure by embedding security into the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
• Anticipate, prioritize and mitigate risks through proactive threat modeling, security assessments, security testing, and automation.
• Perform security code reviews.
• Lead penetration testing on web, mobile, and embedded applications, then guide remediation efforts.
• Develop and maintain automated security tests within CI / CD pipelines to catch vulnerabilities early.
• Partner with engineers to integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle—not as an afterthought, but as a core design principle. Provide security guidance, develop secure solutions, and facilitate secure releases.
• Help define and enforce security policies and provide security guidance to development teams.
• Help shape Mozilla's security culture through collaboration, guidance, and education.
