Software Engineer, Chromium (Contractor, EU)

About the position

As a Chromium Engineer 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. 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.

Responsibilities

• Design and spearhead projects for improving Chromium architecture and building new features in partnership with Product Engineers.
• 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.
• Increase the engineering team’s iteration speed by improving our Chromium codebase with security and infrastructure updates.
• Advise and direct fellow engineers on the architecture and capabilities of Chromium.
• 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.

Requirements

• 8+ years of production-level coding experience, including at least 5 years working directly with C++ and hands-on experience with Chromium development.
• Flexible and interested in working across our entire tech stack, including learning Swift.
• Experience independently running critical projects or initiatives with minimal guidance.
• Pragmatic, motivated by nebulous problems, and excited to work in a startup environment with quick product validation cycles.
• Availability for 4+ hours of overlap time with team members in Eastern Time Zone.

Benefits

• Remote-first work environment with the option to work from the office in Brooklyn, New York.
• Support for diversity and encouragement for people from all backgrounds to apply.
