TL;DR · Browser Ecosystem Enablement

The Browser Ecosystem Enablement role involves joining a core team of specialists to improve the performance of key applications and benchmarks using advanced hardware and software technology. As a Software Optimization Engineer, you will identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across the Chromium stack, focusing on areas like page load, rendering, JavaScript execution, and graphics. You will work closely with browser, OS, and silicon teams to deliver measurable user-visible gains. The role requires proficiency in C++ and deep knowledge of Blink, V8, Skia, GPU/ANGLE, and multi-process architecture. You will utilize tools such as Perfetto, ETW, Chrome Tracing, VTune, PIX, and GPUView to analyze CPU, memory, and power usage. Key responsibilities include contributing upstream patches to Chromium, analyzing microarchitectural behavior like cache and SIMD, and optimizing performance across Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.

What you'll do

  • Profile and optimize performance across Chromium subsystems including Blink, V8, Skia, and GPU/ANGLE.
  • Identify CPU, memory, GPU, and power bottlenecks using real workloads, benchmarks, and field telemetry.
  • Implement improvements in page load, rendering, JavaScript execution, graphics, and browser responsiveness.
  • Drive optimizations across platforms by managing interactions with OS schedulers, graphics stacks, and drivers.
  • Analyze performance data using industry-standard tools like Perfetto, ETW, VTune, and PIX.
  • Contribute well-reviewed patches to Chromium or downstream forks as appropriate.
  • Translate microarchitectural findings into practical, scalable browser improvements.
  • Document performance investigations and communicate results clearly to technical stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Experience in software engineering with a focus on performance optimization.
  • Hands-on experience working with Chromium or Chromium-based browsers.
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and modern C++ performance best practices.
  • Deep understanding of browser internals including rendering pipelines, JavaScript engines, graphics/compositing, or multiprocess models.
  • Proven experience using low-level profiling and tracing tools like Perfetto, ETW, VTune, or PIX.
  • Ability to reason from microarchitectural behavior up to user-perceived performance.
  • Experience optimizing browser performance on Windows including ETW-based analysis and graphics stack interactions.
