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 over 128 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.

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!

As a colleague (in a team of 8 seniors, each with 15-25+ years of experience) your work will be around reducing toil and building and supporting the automation and processes that enable us to reach 200 million users.

We have hundreds of builds running every day for over 1000 GitHub repositories (many open source) with languages like C++, Rust, Go, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby, Kotlin, Bash/Shell, HCL and many more.

We ship fast and on multiple desktop and mobile platforms, architectures and distribution channels. Multiple CI systems and acceleration/optimization techniques are used to build the right thing and the thing right.

Our processes are light and we have no mandatory weekly meetings, 0 on-call, no need to be in an office (unless you really want to) and no strict core hours. Work is autonomous (collaborative at times), asynchronous, flexible.
