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. 

About this team and role

Mozilla’s mission is to champion the internet as a global public resource, measured through a double bottom line: advancing that mission while succeeding in the market. At Mozilla Corporation, this means building and scaling trusted, user-first products, like Firefox, that give people meaningful control over their online experience, while supporting a more open, competitive, and sustainable tech ecosystem. The global public policy team enables this by shaping laws and regulatory frameworks that support our open source technologies, strengthen user choice and privacy, and ensure fair competition to create the conditions for responsible innovation and long-term growth.Do you like working on big-picture problems?
