Opportunity Expired
MZLA Technologies Corporation (MZLA) is a new, wholly-owned subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation which runs the Thunderbird project. Thunderbird is a global, free, and open-source email client that has grown significantly since its launch 10+ years ago! The project is governed by its community, which means that strategic and other high-level decisions are publicly discussed and decided upon by the elected Thunderbird Council. Thunderbird has grown in donations, staff, and aspirations over the last few years. It is looking to mature and expand its business practices to ensure future operational success. This new role is an opportunity for an experienced engineer who is excited to design and implement automation to support Thunderbird’s ongoing growth.
The Thunderbird team is growing, and we are looking to hire a dedicated and hardworking engineer to work with us on our ongoing maintenance work as well as feature development. We’re committed to moving our codebase over to using primarily web technologies, and you’ll be an important part of this effort. Contrary to many learning opportunities elsewhere, you’ll have the opportunity to utilize the most groundbreaking developments in the browser engine. As an engineer at Thunderbird, you will work with our existing staff and community members from all over the globe. We are key contributors to open source, allowing you to show your skills to the world both on the code level and as a concrete result in improvements on the product. This is a remote, full-time position. We expect excellent written communication skills so as to foster strong work coordination over email, video conferencing, Matrix, and Bugzilla.
