About Brave

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!

Summary

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.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience with automation and CI, build and release engineering, testing and reporting tools, code signing, app stores and distribution, packaging (for mobile or desktop apps)
  • extensive and diverse operating system + architecture experience (Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows + x86/x64/arm64)
  • AWS + Terraform
  • any combination of Bash/Shell, Python, Kotlin, Groovy
  • AI-positive but able to code and review generated code
  • privacy and security
  • product mindset, interface with multiple teams, see things end to end, lead on best practices

Nice to haves

  • TeamCity (Kotlin DSL), Jenkins (Jenkins Job Builder)
  • browser or Chromium knowledge
  • gn, ninja, siso, reclient, Remote Execution API, EngFlow, ccache/sccache, custom builds systems
  • Gerrit
  • automated testing at scale
  • performance testing and tuning
  • security and quality scanning, SAST/DAST

Working at Brave

  • Industry-leader in privacy, with a research and engineering team that’s innovating everyday to keep people safer online and beat Big Tech
  • Highly competitive salaries & benefits, and generous home-office stipends
  • Fully remote team, though we have offices and gatherings in a few locations around the world
  • Welcoming, humble, ridiculously smart teammates, and a truly flat org structure
  • Opportunity to get in early at a hyper-growth company, and revolutionize the web
  • Oh, and did we mention Brendan, our CEO & co-founder, invented JavaScript?

Fully remote or hybrid position. No visa sponsorship provided.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
