  • Debug and fix problems in Firefox related to the extensions implementation.
  • Work with others (both inside and outside of Mozilla) to define new extension capabilities as well as changes to existing ones, with an emphasis on improving safety and performance for end users.
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams to extend Firefox features and drive standards for web extensions.


We're looking for people who have:

  • Experience working with and building APIs (minimum 5 years)
  • A solid understanding of the web platform (JS, HTML, CSS, DOM)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
  • Ability to learn and navigate a large and complex multi-language code base


Other things that might make you stand out:

  • Experience with browser extensions
  • Experience with or knowledge of the internals of browser processing
