Backend Engineer, Websites & Marketing Technology

Why Mozilla?

Mozilla Corporation is the non-profit-backed technology company that has shaped the internet for the better over the last 25 years. We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser. Now, with more than 225 million people around the world using our products each month, we’re shaping the next 25 years of technology and helping to reclaim an internet built for people, not companies. Our work focuses on diverse areas including AI, social media, security and more. And we’re doing this while never losing our focus on our core mission – to make the internet better for people. 

The Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the non-profit 501(c) Mozilla Foundation. This means we aren’t beholden to any shareholders — only to our mission. Along with thousands of volunteer contributors and collaborators all over the world, Mozillians design, build and distribute open-source software that enables people to enjoy the internet on their terms. 

The Websites & MarTech team builds and operates the infrastructure that powers mozilla.org and www.firefox.com, marketing campaign sites, and the systems that connect our marketing technology ecosystem. Our work touches millions of users every day, combining strong engineering practices with Mozilla’s values of openness, privacy, and accessibility.

We collaborate across engineering, creative, and product teams to deliver performant, reliable, and privacy-respecting web experiences that help advance Mozilla’s mission.
