The GeckoView Team

We are a distributed software development team of 7 mobile platform engineers. Our focus is on bringing the powerful Firefox web browser engine *gecko* onto the Android mobile platform.

Our team is distributed across various time zones in Europe and the US with everyone working remotely from their homes. We use chat, video conferencing, shared documents, and email to communicate.

Work-life balance is important to us, and we respect family time and weekends. Sometimes we work longer hours to respond to high priority needs such as security incidents, but we work hard to make that an exception and not the rule.
