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 third-party 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 110+ million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.
The internet is a sea of privacy-harmful 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!

We are hiring a staff engineer on the Brave security and privacy team! You will help keep our users safe across Brave’s products, including Brave browser and Brave Search. Responsibilities include:
- Security reviews of Brave products
- Triaging and fixing security reports
- Designing and implementing security-relevant code
- Penetration tests of Brave products and infrastructure
Brave is widely-recognized as one of the best browsers for security and privacy, doing industry-leading work with a team that’s a fraction of the size of Big Tech-supported browsers.
