UX/UI Designer

The Mozilla Foundation is a nonprofit public benefit organization. Our mission is to ensure that the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Join us and become part of our mission to promote openness, innovation, and opportunity online!

Twenty years ago, this meant building a browser and protecting the open web. Today, it also includes making sure AI and data driven technology is more trustworthy. In order to focus on places where Mozilla can impact the next era of our work, we are increasingly working on the topic of trustworthy AI. For us, this means especially two things: human agency is a core part of how AI is built and integrated, and corporate accountability is real and enforced.

The Web Platforms team is an agile team of designers and developers that is tasked with designing, building, maintaining, and optimizing the tools, websites, and brand the organization uses to further its mission. This includes the https://foundation.mozilla.org/ website, various micro-sites such as https://privacynotincluded.org/, https://www.mozillafestival.org/, and https://donate.mozilla.org/, our CMS platforms, and more.
