- **Work type:** remote

## Job description

The Gecko platform is the core engine of our product experience. To maintain competitiveness and user satisfaction, we must move beyond surface-level metrics to understand the deep correlations between engine performance and real-world user behavior. We currently face challenges with data quality, such as bot contamination in nightly telemetry, which obscures our understanding of true performance trends. A dedicated analyst is required to bridge the gap between engineering telemetry and actionable product strategy, ensuring that leadership has high-fidelity data to prioritize performance guardrails and technical budgets.

Engineering Deliverables

- Automated Dashboards: Create and maintain high-level overview dashboards that translate complex performance data into consumable formats for Product Managers and leadership.
- Telemetry Gap Analysis: Audit the Gecko codebase to identify missing collection points or "probes" necessary for a complete understanding of the product experience.
- Data Sanitization Frameworks: Develop methodologies and tools to identify and filter data inconsistencies, specifically focusing on isolating bot traffic and hardware-specific noise from telemetry streams.
- Behavioral Inference Reports: Deliver deep-dive analyses correlating technical performance shifts (e.g., LCP, eTLD+1) with user-facing pain points and engagement trends.

Scope, Skills, and Effort Estimate

Scope

The analyst will focus exclusively on Gecko engine telemetry across multiple platforms (Desktop and Android), collaborating with the Performance Team, Data Team, and Product Leadership.

Required Skills

- Technical: Advanced SQL (BigQuery/Redash), proficiency in data visualization using AI tooling, and experience with statistical analysis (e.g., Pearson’s correlation, multivariate analysis). Knowledge of Rust/C++ is a strong plus. Strong proficiency with AI tools like Claude Code, Codex, or similar is highly desirable.
- Domain Knowledge: Ability to understand browser component interactions and their impact on user experience.
- Soft Skills: Proven ability to work independently, translating technical requirements into business insights.
- Independent problem solving: Comfortable working in unfamiliar technical problem spaces and figuring out a path forward with minimal guidance, using documentation, experimentation, source code, data, and other available resources.

Hiring Ranges:

Remote Germany $62,100—$82,800 USD

- **[Mozilla Pocket](https://getpocket.com/)**: Content discovery and read-later service.
- **[Mozilla Monitor](https://monitor.mozilla.org/)**: Data breach alert and personal data removal service.
- **[Mozilla.ai](https://mozilla.ai/)**: Open-source AI developer tools and trustworthy AI initiatives.
- **[Anonym](https://anonym.co/)**: Privacy-preserving digital advertising measurement platform (acquired by Mozilla in 2022).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private, nonprofit-backed organization)
- **Key Revenue**: Approximately $593 million in total revenue (2022, latest publicly available — Mozilla Foundation annual report). The majority comes from search partnerships (primarily Google).
- **Notable Partners**: Google (search partnership, revenue driver), Meta (via Anonym), Amazon, eBay, and major ad-tech platforms.
- **Growth Signals**: Mozilla has aggressively expanded through acquisitions (Anonym, Fakespot, Pulse, Active Replica); launched Mozilla.ai to bet on open-source AI; growing headcount across engineering, AI, and privacy product teams. As of 2024, the organization employs roughly 800–900+ people globally.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Brand trust and mission**: Uniquely positioned as a "not-for-profit" tech company — no shareholder pressure to maximize profit at user expense. Consistently ranked among most trusted tech brands.
- **Privacy-first product DNA**: All products are built with privacy and security as core features, not afterthoughts — a strong differentiator vs. Big Tech competitors.
- **Open-source foundation**: Transparent codebase, community-driven development, and strong developer credibility (MDN Web Docs is the gold standard for web dev learning).
- **Diverse revenue streams**: Beyond browser search deals, Mozilla is building a portfolio of subscription products (VPN, Relay, Monitor Plus) and ad-tech (Anonym) to reduce single-partner dependency.
- **Talent and culture**: Decades of experience in remote-first, asynchronous, globally distributed work. Strong engineering culture with deep expertise in privacy, security, and web standards.

## Strategic Focus
- **AI with trust**: Building open-source AI tools and models through Mozilla.ai, emphasizing transparency, privacy, and user agency — contrasting with closed, extractive AI from Big Tech.
- **Product diversification**: Reducing reliance on search revenue by scaling subscription products (VPN, Monitor, Relay) and ad-tech platform (Anonym).
- **Internet health advocacy**: Continuing policy work on data privacy, antitrust, and digital rights through the Mozilla Foundation.
- **Firefox revitalization**: Modernizing the browser with new features (vertical tabs, AI-powered tools, improved performance) to regain market share.
- **Acquisition integration**: Absorbing and scaling recent acquisitions (Fakespot for e-commerce trust, Anonym for privacy-first advertising).
