## About Brave

Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. We’ve built a free web browser that blocks creepy ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with a truly independent index and we’re just getting started. Already over 110 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.

Summary Brave is looking for a talented Sr. Ad Sales Director with demonstrated success in selling Advertising campaigns in a Search or Browser environment.  Two years ago we launched Brave Search Ads in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Today search advertising clicks on Brave’s independent and privacy-preserving search engine have grown by 15x in the past year alongside organic search query growth of 80% (656 million in January to 1.19 billion in December).

Today, Brave partners with more than half of the top 25 paid search buyers globally, including, but not limited to Amazon, B&H Photo, Booking.com, Stubhub and Wayfair. In this role, you will help bring existing clients and new advertisers to Brave Search Ads and foster ongoing relationships with new advertisers.

Working at Brave ●    Industry-leader in privacy, with a research and engineering team that’s innovating everyday to keep people safer online and beat Big Tech ●    Highly competitive salaries & benefits, and generous home-office stipends ●    Fully remote team (no office, no commute) ●    Welcoming, humble, ridiculously smart teammates, and a truly flat org structure ●    Opportunity to get in early at a hyper-growth company, and revolutionize the web ●    Oh, and did we mention Brendan, our CEO & co-founder, invented JavaScript?

## About Brave

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Brave develops a privacy-first web browser and independent search engine that blocks ads and trackers by default, while offering a suite of tools including AI, VPN, crypto wallet, and an advertising platform.
- **Entity Type**: Private (funding details not publicly disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA (with an additional office in London, UK)
- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Brendan Eich (creator of JavaScript, co-founder of Mozilla) and Brian Bondy (formerly of Khan Academy and Mozilla)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Internet software – privacy-focused browser, search engine, and advertising.
- **Target customers**: B2C (consumers seeking private browsing) and B2B (advertisers through Brave Ads, developers via the Brave Search API).
- **Mission**: “To build a user-first Web” – countering Big Tech’s data exploitation by giving users privacy, speed, and independence.

## Products & Services
- **Brave Browser**: A Chromium-based desktop and mobile browser that blocks invasive ads, trackers, cross-site cookies, fingerprinting, and more by default. Available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- **Brave Search**: An independent search engine powered by its own web index – one of only three global-scale indexes outside of Big Tech. Includes AI-powered answers (Summarizer) and a conversational interface (Ask Brave).
- **Brave Search API**: A publicly available API that provides real-time, independent search data for AI applications and other search tools. Used by Cohere, Mistral, Perplexity, You.com, and others.
- **Brave Ads**: A private advertising network that offers high ROI for advertisers while respecting user privacy. Users can opt in to view ads and earn Basic Attention Token (BAT).
- **Brave Leo**: An AI assistant built directly into the browser. Can answer questions, summarize pages, generate content, translate, write code, and more. Supports multiple models including Anthropic’s Claude and Meta’s Llama.
- **Brave Wallet**: A browser-native, multi-chain crypto wallet for NFTs, DApps, and DeFi, with low fiat-to-crypto fees.
- **Brave VPN**: A secure, built-in VPN that hides IP address and masks location.
- **Brave Talk**: Browser-based encrypted video calling (peer-to-peer).
- **Brave Rewards / BAT**: Users earn Basic Attention Tokens for viewing privacy-respecting ads, and can use them to support content creators.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Over 100 million monthly active users (MAU) worldwide, 42 million daily active users (DAU), and 1.6+ billion queries per month as of early 2025.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Partnerships include AI companies like Cohere, Mistral, Perplexity, and You.com (via Search API). Other partners are not detailed in public materials; press contacts available for inquiries.
- **Growth Signals**: Surpassed 100M MAU in 2025; Search API usage growing at an exponential rate; continuous expansion of language support (50+ for browser, 40+ for Search); new AI features (Leo, Summarizer) driving adoption.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Independent search index**: Brave Search is the only global-scale search engine not influenced by Google or Microsoft.
- **Privacy-by-default**: Unlike other browsers, Brave blocks ads, trackers, and fingerprinting out of the box – no extensions needed.
- **Integrated AI**: Leo offers a private, account-free AI assistant directly in the browser, with no data retention for model training.
- **Token ecosystem**: BAT and Brave Rewards create a unique economic model that directly compensates users and content creators.
- **Multi-product suite**: Browser, search, VPN, wallet, video calls – all in one app with a consistent privacy focus.

## Strategic Focus
- **Growing the Search API**: Making Brave’s independent index available to AI and search applications at competitive pricing.
- **Advancing AI capabilities**: Expanding Leo’s models and features (e.g., memory, temporary chats, language support) while maintaining privacy.
- **Increasing user base**: Continuing to grow beyond 100M MAU through word-of-mouth, partnerships, and default search settings.
- **Monetizing without compromising privacy**: Scaling Brave Ads and premium offerings (Brave Premium, VPN) while keeping core products free.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & mission**: Employees are driven by the mission to fix the internet’s privacy problems and take on Big Tech.
- **Remote & hybrid options**: Many roles are fully remote (US and global), with hybrid options for London and San Francisco offices. Some positions (e.g., Workplace Operations Coordinator in London) require in-office presence.
- **Engineering excellence**: Described as a “world-class engineering, security, and research team” – notable for working on cutting-edge browser internals, AI, and blockchain/crypto.
- **Diversity & inclusion**: Brave is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and does not discriminate.
- **Global team**: Employees work from around the world; offices in San Francisco and London.
- **Typical perks**: Not explicitly listed, but the company offers a modern tech stack, opportunities to work on open-source (Chromium), and the chance to shape the future of the web.
