Senior Software Engineer - Mobile Android

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.

At Mozilla, we’re building the future of the web—one that’s fast, private, inclusive, and puts people first. As mobile becomes the primary way billions experience the internet, our mission to deliver a secure, transparent, and user-centric browser is more important than ever.

We’re looking for a Senior Android Engineer to help evolve Firefox for Android—an open-source browser with over 100 million downloads on the Google Play Store.
