About the role

About the team and role

Mozilla's Web Conferencing team owns the media capture and sharing features that make Firefox work for video calls: screen, window, and tab capture, and the interface users interact with when they share content in Google Meet, Zoom, or Jitsi.

We're bringing a set of screensharing improvements to Firefox. The backend work is complete and the UX has been designed and approved. We're looking for a front-end engineer on a fixed-term contract to implement it and ship it.

What you'll do

Implement approved UX designs for Firefox's screen, window, and tab sharing experience, and see them through to release

Build browser UI that holds up in a large, widely used codebase: tested, accessible, and localizable

Work with UX on the cases a design didn't anticipate, and with QA on validating the result

Support partner testing against major web conferencing services

Land your work in mozilla-central through public code review on Phabricator

What you'll bring

4+ years building production user interfaces with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

Experience implementing an approved design faithfully, plus the judgment to flag it when the design meets a case it didn't anticipate

Ability to get productive quickly in a large, mature codebase you didn't write

Experience writing automated tests for user interfaces

Strong asynchronous written communication, since the team is distributed across timezones

Comfort working in public, since Bugzilla and Phabricator are open

Bonus qualifications

Prior contributions to Firefox or another open-source browser

Familiarity with Firefox front-end architecture: browser/ , custom elements, XUL, Fluent localization

Experience with WebRTC or getDisplayMedia

Accessibility experience with modal dialogs and list navigation

Experience with Mozilla's test frameworks (browser-chrome, mochitest)

Experience using AI tooling effectively in front-end development

Open source environment experience
