About Brave
Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. We’ve built a free web browser that blocks creepy ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with a truly 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 70 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every year.
The internet is a sea of 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!
Summary
As a colleague (in a team of 5) your work will be around building and supporting the infrastructure and processes that enable us to reach 100+ million users and scale 10x and beyond.
We have dozens of web endpoints and applications in over 900 GitHub repositories (many open source) with languages like C++, Rust, Go, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Kotlin, Bash/Shell, HCL and many more.
We have multi-million $ interactions with AWS and are using tens of their services. Infrastructure is 99% coded using Terraform (minimal drift or manual changes), monitoring is well covered and alerting is centralized in Slack.
Our processes are light and we have no mandatory weekly meetings, 0 on-call, no need to be in an office (unless you really want to) and no strict core hours. Work is autonomous (collaborative at times), asynchronous, flexible.
