About Brave Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. ) that directly rewards you for your attention, and a browser-native AI integration focused on keeping private data private. And we’re just getting started. Already 110 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. 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! The Browser AI team are building core browser features, and exploring new ideas about how the personal nature of the browser can help create the best AI experience for research and creative tasks.

Brave allows the user to attach tabs, history, bookmarks and files to AI conversations. Brave also allows the user to experiment with AI joining in with its own web browsing. We’re looking for a new team member capable of iterating these ideas and creating beautiful user experiences for these features.

UI engineers will often work with other engineers to create the end-to-end features, or develop the skills necessary to implement the entire feature themselves. Brave has an exciting UI engineering culture. We share knowledge and patterns across both teams and disciplines, overlapping closely with designers.

We work with internal design systems, multiple UI frameworks, and make effective decisions on these features as a team. This role is at an exciting intersection between web UI, web browser internals, and AI possibilities. Brave is a start-up, and we have the ability to change plans quickly in response to new information or circumstances.

This means that new needs can emerge on short notice, and projects are often re-mixed and adjusted in response to new input. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to influence those choices and other areas of the team.
