About Dashlane

Dashlane’s mission is to make security simple for millions of organizations and their people. We empower businesses of every size to protect company and employee data while helping everyone easily log in to the accounts they need—anytime, anywhere.

Our global team with offices in Paris, New York, and Lisbon is united by a strong sense of community and passion for improving the digital experience. Over 15 million users and 20,000 businesses in 180 countries use Dashlane for a faster, simpler, and more secure internet.

About the role

Are you looking to lead and grow a 50+ team responsible for a Web Application used by millions of users and businesses to secure their identity online? Join Dashlane as a Director of Engineering, Web, to lead the team in charge of the development of our Browser Extension and Web Applications. Your mission will be to offer the best Dashlane experience on the web for our users and support the growth of our business , by unlocking the team delivery.

Our Browser Extension is the central piece of the Dashlane user experience on desktop environments. It’s right here when you need it, showing up whenever you need to autofill or save data while you are browsing, and providing advanced tools to manage your vault through its embedded web application. It’s built upon Open Web Platform and the WebExtensions API, using technologies like Typescript, React, Redux, Webpack, Jest, Cypress, Gitlab CI, … among others. It’s a full-fledged application: to respect our zero-knowledge architecture, a lot of the business logic is happening in the extension background processes and not server-side.
