About the role
Why Mozilla?
Mozilla Corporation is the non-profit-backed technology company that has shaped the internet for the better over the last 25 years. We make pioneering brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser. Now, with more than 225 million people around the world using our products each month, we’re shaping the next 25 years of technology and helping to reclaim an internet built for people, not companies. Our work focuses on diverse areas including AI, social media, security and more. And we’re doing this while never losing our focus on our core mission – to make the internet better for people.
The Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the non-profit 501(c) Mozilla Foundation. This means we aren’t beholden to any shareholders — only to our mission. Along with thousands of volunteer contributors and collaborators all over the world, Mozillians design, build and distribute open-source software that enables people to enjoy the internet on their terms.
About this team and role:
The Mozilla Trust & Safety team helps Mozilla build and operate products that prioritize people’s safety, privacy, and agency. We partner with product, engineering, legal, and policy teams to understand potential risks across our products and services, and we design policies, processes, and technical capabilities that reduce harm while advancing Mozilla’s mission.

- Collaborate with cross-functional partners (e.g., Product, Engineering, Legal, and others) to proactively identify and mitigate risks to user safety.
- Apply data-driven frameworks to assess program effectiveness and identify areas for improvement, in alignment with broader company goals and business objectives.
- Stay informed about industry best practices and emergent risks associated with new technology products and contexts.
