Software Engineer, Compiler
Hi, we're The Browser Company 👋 and we're building a better way to use the internet.
Browsers are unique in that they are one of the only pieces of software that you share with your parents as well as your kids. Which makes sense, they're our doorway to the most important things — through them we socialize with loved ones, work on our passion projects, and explore our curiosities. But on their own, they don’t actually do a whole lot, they’re kind of just there. They don’t help us organize our messy lives or make it easier to compose our ideas. We believe that the browser could do so much more — it can empower and support the amazing things we do on the internet. That’s why we’re building one: a browser that can help us grow, create, and stay curious.
To accomplish this lofty task, we’re building a diverse team of people from different backgrounds and experiences. This isn’t optional, it’s crucial to our mission, as we need a wide range of perspectives to challenge our assumptions and shape our browser through a bold, creative lens. With that in mind, we especially encourage women, people of color, and others from historically marginalized groups to apply.
At The Browser Company, we've taken a unique approach to building our Swift/Chromium web browsers for multiple platforms. While most major browsers are written in C++, we decided to avoid challenges around slow iteration speed and memory safety by building Arc and Dia using Swift. A small team of language compiler and systems engineers have implemented the protocol that allows us to run our Swift code across MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android. We’re part of the Swift core team and work closely with Apple, supporting Windows and Android. You can read more about our open source work on our company Github and our Speaking in Swift blog.
As a Compiler Engineer at The Browser Company, you'll advance Windows support for Swift and build features that benefit both our internal projects and the broader Swift community. Your work will shape how we build browsers and cross-platform applications, with Swift at the core of our stack. You'll collaborate with the open-source community, Apple, and other companies using Swift while tackling deep technical challenges in language and compiler design.
Open Source by Default: Nearly all of your work lands upstream in LLVM, Swift, and related projects. Your contributions are visible, impactful, and benefit the wider developer community.

Be involved in infrastructure discussions like how we add better observability to debug issues in production, how we better monitor performance regressions, and how we make our updater less finicky.
The Browser Company is an ambitious team of close to 100 people (and growing!) who are passionate about building great products. We are a remote-first, distributed team, with the option to work from office in Brooklyn, New York. We strongly support diversity and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
