The JavaScript team at Mozilla cares
deeply about bringing bare metal hardware performance to Firefox’s
industry-leading JavaScript engine, SpiderMonkey. We strive for
intelligent hardware utilization and Web compatibility while we push the
boundaries of what the web is capable of. Are you are a C++ programmer
who is passionate about working collaboratively with a worldwide
community? If so, we are looking for someone like you to come join us in
advancing the Web!
