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 over 90 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.

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!

Brave browser for iOS is on a strong growth trajectory. We are looking to hire an experienced iOS developer to design, build, and maintain the iOS version of the Brave web browser. Brave is receiving great reviews in the App Store and we’re just getting started. Work together with our developers and privacy/security experts to help us take our browser to the next level.

Responsibilities will include:

• Develop and maintain the iOS version of the Brave web browser
• Write maintainable code, applying testing responsibly. Collaborate with others on(iOS) team to formulate best practices.
• Work alongside privacy and security experts to help provide a secure and private experience for our users
• Work with the open source community on GitHub – help guide contributors by being transparent about our work items and helping review externally submitted work. Contribute back to the community when possible (improving an open source library we use, etc)

• Expert-level familiarity with Xcode and Instrumentation
• Ability to create interfaces programmatically

The tech stack is composed of a mixture of Swift, C++, Objective-C++ and JavaScript using many core technologies such as SwiftUI, UIKit, WebKit and CoreData, as well as interfacing with Chromium core services.

The project is open-source on GitHub: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser 

We follow open-source peer-review practices.
