What You Bring
We are seeking a Senior Engineer with more than ten years of experience to lead and drive development on a Chromium-based browser platform across desktop environments such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as other form factors. The role demands deep expertise in modern C++ and a strong understanding of Chromium architecture, along with hands‑on experience with large, complex codebases. The successful candidate will own critical browser components, drive upstream Chromium migrations, improve performance, stability, and security, and mentor senior engineers. Mandatory skills include expert-level proficiency in modern C++ (C++11/14/17), extensive hands‑on experience with Chromium source code—such as Blink, Content, Browser, Networking, Extensions, or build systems—and a deep understanding of browser internals, including multi‑process architecture, IPC, rendering, and networking. Candidates must be comfortable debugging large‑scale systems on Linux, Windows, and macOS and managing Chromium upgrades. Preferred qualifications comprise experience with browser security, sandboxing, performance optimization, and upstreaming patches to Chromium, as well as familiarity with web standards and Android Chromium. Knowledge of build systems like GN/Ninja and a proven track record of leading or mentoring teams in large consumer-scale products are also valuable. • Utilize deep knowledge of Chromium architecture, including Blink, Content, Browser, Networking, and Extensions.
