Description

Hi, we’re DuckDuckGo, the Internet privacy company for everyone who wants to take back their privacy now. For over a decade, we've been building our all-in-one product, developing new privacy technology, and working with policymakers to make online privacy simple and accessible for all.

 

Our browsers and extensions have been downloaded over 250 million times with our built-in private search engine, which has seen over 100 billion searches and is the 2nd largest search engine on mobile in the United States and 20 other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Poland, Italy, and Spain. Our private search engine is also 3rd in market share in the U.S. and over 15 major markets. Oh, and we've been profitable since 2014, with annual revenue exceeding $100 million!

 

The DuckDuckGo browser’s uniquely comprehensive privacy protections are used by tens of millions of people to protect their everyday online activities on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, from searching to browsing, emailing, and more. We also offer Privacy Pro, a three-in-one subscription service that includes a VPN, Personal Information Removal, and Identity Theft Restoration.

 

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help shape our all-in-one privacy solution and join our mission to show the world that protecting your privacy online can be simple.

 

The Opportunity

In this role, you will lead and contribute to developing new and existing products and features, demonstrating ownership over major components of our codebase while taking responsibility for their maintenance and improvement over time. By writing pragmatic, performant, and testable code that works consistently across settings, devices, and browsers, you'll play a key role in improving the frontend software architecture, all while prioritizing privacy and user experience throughout the engineering process.

 

As a senior engineer, you will mentor peers and work closely with cross-functional team members through remote collaboration opportunities, including product brainstorms, technical design discussions, code reviews, and more.

 

What You Will Bring to DuckDuckGo

  • 7+ years experience in positions where your primary responsibility was writing code.
  • Advanced level of JavaScript/HTML/CSS expertise.
  • Advanced level of React and Typescript.
  • Advanced level of web application architecture expertise.
  • Ability to lead engineering projects with little to no oversight.
  • Experience building large-scale web applications.
  • Experience identifying success criteria and metrics and validating decisions against them.
  • Experience collaborating with engineers on the backend and other platforms, such as Android and iOS.
  • Experience collaborating with product and design to build polished consumer-facing products.
  • Ability to contribute to technical architecture decisions for complex products.
  • Willingness to learn new technologies and ideas.

 

How We Will Support You

Our core values -- build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction -- underpin how we work day-to-day and the support we give our team members. We strive to empower our team members to be self-directed and self-motivated in their work.

 

  • Remote First, Always: We've always been a fully distributed company with team members all over the world. We trust you to get your work done wherever, and whenever.
  • Commitment to Personal Growth: Every team member has an annual budget of $1,250 USD to invest in their professional development. Every team member also has a dedicated Career Advisor, who serves as a guide to help you develop your strengths, identify your motivations, and understand your opportunities for growth.
  • Leadership: We have many different types of leaders and possible combinations of leadership roles, so you can grow your career in a way that aligns best with your personal goals. You can seek additional leadership roles by being directly responsible for projects, taking ownership of areas of the company, developing and maintaining internal processes, or pursuing advisory roles.
  • Work/Life Balance: Team members have the freedom and flexibility to organize their own work schedules. We want you to thrive both in and out of the office. We trust you to use good judgment and take the time off that you need to bring your best self to work.

 

We also offer paid parental leave, a co-working stipend, office setup reimbursement, and a wellness stipend. More support resources can be found in our Team Member Support Guide, which explains how we make your well-being a priority.
