About DuckDuckGo
We're raising the standard of trust online, making privacy simple and accessible for everyone. (We're hiring, too!)
Hi, weβre DuckDuckGo, the Internet privacy company for everyone who wants to take back their privacy now. For over a decade, we’ve been building our all-in-one product, developing new privacy technology, and working with policymakers to make online privacy simple and accessible for all.
Our browsers and extensions have been downloaded over 250 million times with our built-in private search engine, which has delivered over 100 billion searches and is the 2nd largest search engine on mobile in the United States and 17 other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, Poland, and Spain. Our private search engine is also 3rd in market share in the U.S. and over 20 major markets. Oh, and we’ve been profitable since 2014, with annual revenue exceeding $100 million!
The DuckDuckGo browserβs uniquely comprehensive privacy protections are used by tens of millions of people to protect their everyday online activities onΒ Mac,Β Windows,Β iOS, andΒ Android, from searching to browsing, emailing, and more. We also offerΒ Privacy Pro, a three-in-one subscription service that includes a VPN, Personal Information Removal, and Identity Theft Restoration.
Weβre looking for aΒ Senior Backend EngineerΒ to help shape our all-in-one privacy solution and join our mission to show the world that protecting your privacy online can be simple.

You’ll collaborate remotely with your peers and take responsibility for solving product issues impacting our all-in-one privacy solution, whether large or small. In time, you’ll formally mentor other engineers, supporting their career growth and the growth of the Backend Team at DuckDuckGo.
Our core values — build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction — underpin how we work day-to-day and the support we give our team members. We strive to empower our team members to be self-directed and self-motivated in their work.

We want to ensure that our hiring process is accessible. If you need reasonable accommodation for any part of the application process because of a medical condition or disability, please send an email toΒ [email protected]Β to let us know the nature of your request.
If you think you might thrive in this environment, we would love to hear from you.
