Our unique corporate structure guarantees that every decision we make upholds our mission: to make sure the internet stays available, safe, and welcoming to everyone. Beholden to neither shareholders nor investors, Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the not-for-profit Mozilla Foundation.

Along with 20,000+ volunteer contributors and collaborators all over the world, Mozilla Corporation’s staff designs, builds, and distributes software that allows people to enjoy the internet on their own terms. Our flagship product the Firefox browser has expanded into a family of products that protects users and alerts them of risks.

The Opportunity

The OS integration team is a cross-disciplinary team in charge of improving and maintaining Firefox on its various supported operating systems. We make sure it is a first-class citizen that integrates well with the desktop and supports new features offered by the operating system.

Firefox is a complex cross-platform application, and we deal with the operating system specifics. We work on things like crash reporting, interactions with third party software, sandboxing and hardening techniques, and investigate crashes.

  • Further develop our open source tooling for ensuring the supply-chain security of vendored Rust crates. Sync up with other Rust users in the industry to develop collaborative use cases.
  • Assist our backend teams to process, analyze and visualize the crash information you have developed.
  • Track upstream development of Rust and LLVM and monitor performance and compatibility with our codebase. Investigate regressions and cooperate with upstream to contribute improvements.
  • Collaborate with other teams by providing code review and technical direction.
  • Work with a geographically-distributed development team.

What You Bring

Minimum Qualifications

  • A deep understanding of Rust, knowledge of modern C/C++ and industry experience in one of those languages.
  • Experience with executable and library debugging data formats, and related tools.
  • Experience with systems programming on multiple operating systems, particularly Windows, Linux, macOS or Android.
  • You are an excellent communicator and have participated effectively on a distributed team.
  • You’re pragmatic about how to move things forward in specific timeframes including trade-offs and safeguards when implementing new functionality.
