Do you love Python, JavaScript, and localization? My team at Mozilla is #hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help us build and maintain the libraries and tools that power our localization infrastructure.

We’re open to candidates based in Europe (Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Poland) and the East Coast (Canada, US), even if the job post currently lists only a few locations.

@flod that's to fill the holes left after entire teams quit because botched AI was forced on them with out warning...

Why would I join such a toxic environment?

@falken Toxic environment? I wish you could experience what it means to work "on the ground" at Mozilla, and be surrounded by a lot of smart people still passionate about the mission.

Is it perfect? No. Is it better than most large tech companies? Yes.

My team is small and we would all love to have more folks, but then you need to account for reality.

P.S. "entire teams left because of botched AI"?

@falken A volunteer is upset about the decision to use machine translation for support articles. I know him, I understand his point of view and sympathize, but also understand why we got there — and tried to provide feedback. On the other hand, I despise people that are using that conversation to make a point about Mozilla and AI, having no clue about our community or volunteering in general.

With that said, literally different team. He remains an amazing contributor, active in other areas.

@flod maybe should be making this side of their story more widely in the press ?

@falken I'm afraid that attempt will be seen as Mozilla trying to bury the incident, while that's been already blown out of proportion.
