About the role
Senior C++ Engineer
Software Dev
What you'll do
- Implement tracker blocking that stops hidden trackers on every site without slowing page loads.
- Catch startup and responsiveness regressions automatically, so the browser stays fast as it grows.
- Lead complex projects from proposal through post-mortem.
- Turn vague problems into clear plans, build them in a large modern C++ codebase, and use metrics to show they worked.
- Perform low-level systems work and make architecture decisions the whole team builds on.
- Collaborate with design and product, mostly asynchronously, to build features people use to protect their privacy.
What they're looking for
- Ability to lead and collaborate on high-impact, complex projects from proposal through post-mortem.

- Advanced modern C++ expertise (C++23 or newer), including memory management, concurrency, and performance profiling.
- Experience driving technical work end-to-end on large-scale C++ codebases.
- Comfort with large build systems, debuggers, and profilers.
- Experience shipping software to a large consumer audience.
- Solid computer science foundation (algorithms and data structures).
- Attend meetings on camera via video conferencing.
- Expect to travel at least two times a year for an all-hands meetup and a team retreat, each around 4–5 days. While extenuating circumstances may impact attendance, everyone is strongly encouraged to attend.
