Sr. Software Engineer – Full Stack Full Time (Remote)

Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. We’ve built a free web browser that blocks creepy 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 50 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.

Summary

The internet is a sea of 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!

Brave is looking for an experienced generalist full stack engineer who can help us keep our browser and back end infrastructure in good shape. The candidate should know how to work in an open source environment, and be able to pivot quickly between C++ tasks in the browser and working on the back end data infrastructure. This is a wide ranging position with opportunities for growth in many areas of engineering at Brave.
