Mozilla’s staff are driven by our vision to be the trusted guide through a joyful internet. We design, build and distribute software that enables people to enjoy the internet on their terms.

Help make the internet a better place!

Work with our legal and policy teams to help Mozilla make practical decisions about legal and privacy risk.

You will also have the opportunity to work with Mozilla’s public policy team to help craft our advocacy concerning emerging policy issues, regulatory developments, and global trends affecting Mozilla's products and services.

Mozilla isn’t just a great place to work. It’s an experience you’ll carry with you throughout your career. As part of our internship program, you’ll have the opportunity to be mentored one-on-one by somebody brilliant, to impact the projects you’ll collaborate on, and to never be bored. Ever. From the passionate people you’ll learn from, to the chances you’ll have to make the Web a better place, your time with Mozilla will be unlike any other.
