Full Job Description
About The Role

As a Software Engineer, Chromium on the Product Team, your contributions will be at the core of building Dia. By collaborating with various teams across the company, you'll help unlock the full potential of the Chromium ecosystem and enable the team to build first-of-its-kind features into the browser. We're looking for someone who is product-minded, deeply curious, and excited to define new ways in which we interact with LLMs on a daily basis.

About our app architecture

Our team took a unique approach to building Arc and Dia - we packaged Chromium as an SDK and wrapped our Swift code around it. Our Swift code base is shared across MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android (more on our Swift interoperability work can be found here).
Overall you will...
  • Design and spearhead projects for improving Dia's embedded-Chromium architecture and building new features in partnership with Product Engineers.
  • Advise and direct fellow engineers on the architecture and capabilities of Chromium.
  • Increase the engineering team's iteration speed by building AI-driven tooling and improving our Chromium codebase with security and infrastructure updates - speeding up debugging, upgrades, and day-to-day development for everyone on the rotation.
  • Participate in the Chromium engineering on-call rotation, helping the team stay up to date with upstream changes, responding to incidents, and supporting major Chromium upgrades and releases.
  • Create new APIs and optimize existing ones that allow for a seamless integration with our product code base.
  • Interact with the broader Chromium community, including collaborating with core contributors as needs arise.
Qualifications
  • You have 8+ years of production-level coding experience, with hands-on experience working directly with C++ and with Chromium development.
  • You're flexible and interested in working across our entire tech stack, including learning Swift
  • You have experience independently running critical projects or initiatives with minimal guidance
  • You're pragmatic, motivated by nebulous problems, and excited to work in a startup environment with quick product validation cycles
  • We're primarily focused on hiring in North American time zones and require that folks have 4+ hours of overlap time with team members in Eastern Time Zone
Compensation and Benefits
  • Our total compensation for full-time employees includes base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The annual base salary range for this role is $265,000 - $310,000 USD. The final offer will depend on your experience, expertise, and interview performance. Our goal is simple: if it feels like the right mutual fit, compensation shouldn't be the thing that gets in the way. We've built a small, talent-dense team who cares deeply about their craft, and we pay competitively in line with current market benchmarks.
  • Benefits. We offer best-in-class benefits (https://go.atlassian.com/perksandbenefits) designed to support you, your family, and your life outside of work. Think big-company perks with startup-style impact, ownership, and ways of working - so you have the space and support to do the best work of your career.
  • Location. We're a remote-friendly company and can hire in the US or Canada. If you live in New York (or want to visit), you're welcome to work from our office in Williamsburg.
