Role overview
Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. The company has built a free web browser that blocks ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with an independent index, a private ad network (opt-in), and a browser-native AI integration focused on keeping private data private. The Browser AI team is building core browser features and exploring how the personal nature of the browser can create the best AI experience for research and creative tasks. Brave allows users to attach tabs, history, bookmarks and files to AI conversations, and lets users experiment with AI joining in with its own web browsing. This role sits at the intersection of web UI, web browser internals, and AI possibilities, with opportunity to influence team choices in a fast-changing startup environment. Many engineers start from frontend or full-stack backgrounds and grow into browser-level C++ feature work over time.
