Senior Software Engineer

Description:

In this role, you will work on the team responsible for launching our first ever DuckDuckGo Privacy App for Windows. You'll collaborate with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers across Native Apps to craft a world-class browser with embedded privacy features that will revolutionize the way people search, surf, and exist online.

You will be critical to the successful launch of this product and responsible for taking pieces of the puzzle and autonomously building solutions to get us closer to our first release. You will help define the roadmap, take ownership of significant application features and experiment with ways to improve them.

You will lay the foundations of what will become one of DuckDuckGo's flagship products and critical levers for growing privacy online.

• A significant level of experience in building customer facing applications, including crafting user interfaces.
• Deep understanding of software design patterns such as MVVM, MVP, etc.
