TL;DR · Browser Ecosystem Enablement

JOB TITLE: Browser Ecosystem Enablement As a Software Optimization Engineer, you will join a core team of industry specialists to improve the performance of key applications and benchmarks. You will identify, analyze, and resolve performance bottlenecks across the Chromium stack, working closely with the browser engine, operating systems, and hardware. Your daily responsibilities include profiling and optimizing Chromium subsystems like Blink, V8, Skia, and GPU/ANGLE to improve page load, JavaScript execution, and rendering. You will use tools such as Perfetto, ETW, VTune, and PIX to analyze CPU, memory, and power usage. The role requires proficiency in C++, Clang/LLVM, and deep knowledge of rendering pipelines or JavaScript engines. You will collaborate with hardware partners and OS teams to translate microarchitectural findings into scalable browser improvements 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 and field telemetry.
  • Implement performance improvements for page load, rendering, JavaScript execution, 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 clean, well-reviewed patches upstream to Chromium or relevant downstream forks.
  • Translate microarchitectural findings into practical, scalable browser improvements.
  • Document performance investigations and communicate technical findings to stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Software engineering experience with a strong 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 to drive optimizations.
  • Experience as an active Chromium contributor or committer with a track record of upstream contributions (preferred).
  • Experience optimizing browser performance on Windows, including ETW-based analysis and graphics stack interactions (preferred).
