About this role
Role overview Build high-performance components for a consumer browser using modern C++ and Chromium. You would lead complex work from initial proposal through delivery and review, translating ambiguous problems into plans, implementation, and measurable outcomes. Projects may include privacy protections, subscription features, and automated detection of startup or responsiveness regressions.
Responsibilities - Design and implement browser features and low-level systems work in a large C++ codebase. - Lead technical projects end to end, from scoping and architecture through implementation and post-project review. - Develop protections that block trackers while preserving page performance. - Help integrate subscription features into the browser experience. - Build ways to detect performance regressions and use metrics to assess results. - Collaborate with product and design partners, often asynchronously.
Requirements - At least seven years of software engineering experience. - Advanced modern C++ expertise, including C++23 or newer, memory management, concurrency, and performance profiling. - Experience delivering technical work across a large C++ codebase. - Ability to use substantial build systems, debuggers, and profilers. - Experience shipping software to a large consumer audience. - Strong computer science fundamentals, including algorithms and data structures. - Ability to lead complex projects, clarify open-ended problems, and evaluate outcomes with metrics.
Nice to have - Windows development experience. - Familiarity with browsers or browser engines, game engines, or large desktop applications.
Benefits and work setup - Remote-first team with flexible hours and an expected full-time commitment of about 40 hours per week. - Annual compensation listed as USD 178,500 plus stock options; sponsored health benefits are limited to team members based in the United States. - Support offerings include paid parental leave and office setup or coworking allowances. - Travel is expected about twice a year for team gatherings.
