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:

The Ads Engineering team at Mozilla builds core infrastructure to support ethical, privacy-forward advertising across Mozilla's products. We are scaling out an internal component for client-side ad fetching, rendering, and measurement across Firefox, Pocket, MDN, and beyond.

In this role, you’ll contribute to the development of our internal component, using Rust and Python to create a scalable, privacy-preserving advertising component that enables consistent, performant ad experiences across Mozilla’s properties.

What you’ll do: 

  • Design and deliver reusable components within the Mozilla Ads products that support multiple product teams and surface areas
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Ad Ops, and Data Science to enable enriched measurement, feedback reporting, and experimentation
  • Implement privacy-preserving features in our Mozilla Ads products, contributing to Mozilla’s vision for ethical advertising
  • Work with front-end teams across Mozilla to support and extend existing systems to apply innovative ways and technologies in reaching Mozilla’s advertising goals
  • Help translate product and engineering strategy into actionable tasks and early prototypes, providing feedback where appropriate

What you’ll bring: 

  • 5+ years of overall software engineering experience
  • Proven ability to successfully lead and ship complex software projects
  • Experience in Rust
  • Familiarity with one of the following front-end technologies: JavaScript or React
  • Experience with telemetry, privacy-preserving analytics, and/or programmatic advertising is a plus.
  • An interest and ability to work in a distributed, cross-functional environment (which requires good asynchronous written communication skills as well as good verbal communication skills)
  • Commitment to our values:
    • Welcoming differences
    • Being relationship-minded
    • Practicing responsible participation
    • Having grit

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
  • Annual professional development budget
  • Quarterly well-being stipend
  • Considerable paid parental leave
  • Employee referral bonus program
  • Other benefits (life/AD&D, disability, EAP, etc. - varies by country)

About Mozilla
