NOW HIRING: Senior Firefox Add-Ons Engineer

Company: Mozilla
Website: https://www.mozilla.org
Headquarters: Global


Help define and build the next generation of the browser extension platform as a member of the Add-ons Engineering team. The Add-Ons team at Mozilla maintains the parts of Firefox that support browser extensions, which give users a way to customize Firefox. We work with extension authors, users, and other Firefox engineers to enable a variety of extensions while ensuring that Firefox remains safe and fast when extensions are active.

Our team is geographically-distributed, and working with other Firefox teams in the open is the norm. You'll be responsible for solving problems of different sizes and upholding quality standards by writing code, tests, and specifications as well as participating in code reviews. You'll also interact with real users in the community, using their input—along with prototypes and data from Mozilla—to file bug reports, inform feature designs, and assist strategic decisions. Most importantly, you'll contribute to making the Web Platform safer, faster, and more robust on the only independent browser dedicated to an open Internet.


As a Senior Firefox Add-ons Engineer here at Mozilla, here's what you'll do:

  • 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:

  • Proficiency programming in Javascript (5+ years experience)
  • 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
  • Experience developing in C++ and/or Rust
  • Experience developing for Android devices
  • Experience in software security analysis
