Senior WebOps Engineer
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!
SummaryAs 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.
