Job Description


About Brave

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 50 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!


Summary

Brave is looking for an experienced security/privacy Researcher to join Brave’s research team to develop new ambitious security and privacy research products and work alongside our engineering teams to implement the results of research into our products. This job involves working side-by-side with researchers, research engineers, engineers, and product managers across multiple departments so Brave’s research findings can benefit millions of daily active users around the world. The Researcher will be responsible for a wide range of privacy and security research areas, including privacy-preserving analytics, trusted computing, and detecting and fighting fraud. They should have a passion for helping protect users’ privacy and security.
