Your role will involve writing clean, maintainable code and participating in code reviews to uphold high standards of software quality.

You will have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers, sharing your knowledge and expertise to help them grow in their careers. Your contributions will directly impact the user experience of Firefox, making it a more powerful tool for navigating the web.
