Browsers Developer (Chromium focus)

About the Position

We are looking for a Browsers Developer (Chromium focus) to join our team. Members of our browsers team are responsible for a variety of tasks ranging from implementing new web-facing features to porting the browser to new platforms. Our work is in use on a wide range of mobile devices, televisions, and other devices. Free software and upstream contributions are important to us, so we are also active participants in the open source community, contributing our work upstream as much as we can.

Chromium is a huge C++ project with many features, so candidates should be organized and flexible enough to adapt to different areas of the codebase. While there are no hard technical requirements, being able to write efficient, maintainable, and portable C++ system code is required for day-to-day work. Additionally, though prior experience contributing to web browsers is not a necessity, it would be useful for this position.
