The Opportunity
The Firefox team is a community of engineers who care deeply about delivering the fastest, friendliest, and most usable browser possible. We are responsible for making the things you see in the browser work securely, quickly, and well!
Our team is geographically distributed and responsible for validating all critical browser areas, both core and new, through dedicated processes for build validation, new feature testing, regression testing, end-to-end testing, and bug work. Our focus is on being the voice of our users and helping to fix things in Firefox as well as assisting other teams in making it the most user-friendly browser on the market. We are currently working on building a system to automate the majority of our smoke tests and implementing a monitoring system.
