About the company

More than a decade ago, with the launch of Firefox 1.0, Mozilla paved the way for the first generation of rich internet applications. Since then Mozilla, a corporation fully owned by a non-profit, has continued to advance a healthy internet. A healthier internet begins with the tools we use to build, access, and discover the web. Today, a few tech companies play a disproportionate role in crafting the internet used by 4.5 billion people. Now it's your turn to ensure the citizens of the modern web play a defining role in shaping its future! Mozillians love what we do, but more meaningfully, we are building something that millions of people love, too.

Mozilla is a place for innovators and futurists. At Mozilla, we believe in balancing consumer privacy with novel solutions that improve people's lives. You will get the opportunity to take real world business problems and lead the charge on formulating innovative solutions. If you're not afraid of ambiguity and have the energy, passion and drive to thrive in a fast-paced workplace, the opportunities at Mozilla are endless!
