Quick Summary
About Brave
Brave is dedicated to protecting online privacy. We offer a free web browser that blocks unwanted ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with an independent index, an opt-in private ad network that rewards user attention, and a browser-native AI integration designed to keep private data secure. With over 110 million users, Brave provides a faster, more private web experience, attracting millions of new users monthly.
In an internet environment filled with ads, hackers, and echo chambers where Big Tech profits from user data and controls information, Brave is actively fighting back. Join our mission!
The Browser AI team develops core browser features and explores innovative ways the browser's personal nature can enhance AI experiences for research and creative tasks. Brave enables users to connect tabs, history, bookmarks, and files to AI conversations, and allows experimentation with AI-driven web browsing. We seek a new team member to iterate on these concepts and create exceptional user experiences for these features. UI engineers often collaborate with other engineers on end-to-end feature development or implement entire features independently.
Brave fosters a dynamic UI engineering culture, promoting knowledge sharing and patterns across teams and disciplines, working closely with designers. We utilize internal design systems, multiple UI frameworks, and make collective decisions on feature development.
This role offers an exciting opportunity at the intersection of web UI, web browser internals, and AI possibilities.
As a startup, Brave adapts quickly to new information and circumstances. This means new needs can arise rapidly, and projects are frequently adjusted. Successful applicants will have the chance to influence these decisions and other team areas.
Many engineers in this role at Brave begin with a frontend or full-stack development background and progressively develop expertise in browser-level C++ feature work.
