About Brave

Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. We’ve built a free web browser that blocks creepy third-party ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with a truly independent index, a browser-native crypto wallet, and a private ad network (opt-in!) that directly rewards you for your attention. And we’re just getting started. Already 110+ million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.

The internet is a sea of privacy-harmful ads, hackers, and echo chambers. Big Tech makes huge profits off our data, and tells us what’s true and what’s not. Brave is fighting back. Join us!

Summary

We are hiring a staff engineer on the Brave security and privacy team! You will help keep our users safe across Brave’s products, including Brave browser and Brave Search. Responsibilities include:

Security reviews of Brave products
Triaging and fixing security reports
Designing and implementing security-relevant code
Penetration tests of Brave products and infrastructure

Brave is widely-recognized as one of the best browsers for security and privacy, doing industry-leading work with a team that’s a fraction of the size of Big Tech-supported browsers.

Required qualifications

At least 5 years experience (or equivalent) in security engineering
Experience in penetration testing and/or security auditing
Proficiency in C++, both implementing and reviewing
Strong familiarity with the Web security model
Experience securing AWS infrastructure
Very comfortable working and communicating async with a geographically-distributed software development team
Be comfortable diving into an extremely large, unfamiliar and complex codebase
Be comfortable with Git and collaborating on GitHub

Preferred qualifications

Experience contributing to large open source codebases and/or participating in open source communities
Proficiency in Web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
Proficiency in Go and Rust
DevOps experience
Contributions to other Web browsers
Familiarity with Chromium's architecture, especially security
Ability to write clear technical documentation and less technical writing for blog posts or public communication.
Be excited about privacy, anonymity, and censorship resistance!
