<h3><strong>Sr. Software Engineer - Privacy (C++)</strong></h3><p>Remote - USA, Canada, South America, Europe</p><h3><strong>About Brave</strong></h3><p>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 <em>truly</em> 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 100 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.</p><p>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!</p><h3><strong>Summary</strong></h3><p>We are hiring a senior member of the Brave privacy engineering team! You will work on privacy and security features in the browser that bring cutting-edge protections to 100M+ users without breaking the Web.
