Web3 Core Engineer - 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 that directly rewards you for your attention. Already 125 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web, and 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!
