TL;DR · Senior Chromium Developer

As a Sr. Chromium Developer, you will join a core team of specialists focused on improving the performance of key applications and benchmarks. You will identify, analyze, and resolve performance bottlenecks across the Chromium stack, working closely with browser engine, OS, and hardware components to deliver measurable user-visible gains. Your daily work involves profiling and optimizing subsystems like Blink, V8, Skia, GPU/ANGLE, and multi-process architectures while addressing CPU, memory, GPU, and power issues using tools such as Perfetto, ETW, VTune, and PIX. You will utilize C++ to implement improvements in page loading, rendering, and JavaScript execution across Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms. The role requires deep knowledge of browser internals, including the rendering pipeline, JIT behavior, and graphics compositing, to translate microarchitectural findings into scalable performance optimizations for Chromium-based browsers.

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 multi-process models.
  • Proven experience using low-level profiling and tracing tools like Perfetto, ETW, VTune, or PIX.
  • Ability to analyze performance from microarchitectural behavior up to user-perceived results.
  • Experience optimizing browser performance on Windows including graphics stack interactions.
