Senior DevOps Engineer (browser CI/CD + AWS) - Brave

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. Already over 121 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web.

Summary

As a colleague in a team of 8 seniors (each with 15-20+ years of experience), your work will focus on reducing toil and building and supporting the automation and processes that enable us to reach 200 million users.

We have hundreds of builds running every day for over 1,000 GitHub repositories (many open source) with languages like C++, Rust, Go, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Kotlin, Bash/Shell, HCL, and many more.

Our processes are light: we have no mandatory weekly meetings, 0 on-call, no need to be in an office, and no strict core hours. Work is autonomous, asynchronous, and flexible.
