Contract Staff Software Engineer – WebCompat & Bug Triage
Mozilla · Remote (Canada, Europe, UK)
You’ll apply on Mozilla’s official site. Real employers never ask you to pay to apply. Why?
About the role
You will help reduce Firefox’s WebCompat bug backlog by finishing or verifying the diagnosis of the long tail of site-breakage bugs, and by writing interventions or simple fixes (often with AI assistance). You turn a large queue of reported breakages into diagnosed, actionable, or fixed bugs.
Responsibilities
Finish diagnosing, or verify the diagnosis of, long-tail WebCompat bugs.
Write WebCompat interventions where appropriate.
Write simple fixes (AI-assisted) and land them.
Reproduce and triage incoming site-breakage reports.
Required qualifications
Solid web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and comfort debugging real-world site breakage.
Fluent with browser devtools and cross-browser diagnosis.
Comfortable using AI tooling to speed up diagnosis and fixes.
Preferred
Gecko knowledge is a strong plus (but can be taught).
Prior WebCompat or web-standards experience.
