We are excited to engage the community in development!

DuckDuckGo is growing fast and we continue to expand our fully distributed team. We embrace diverse perspectives, and seek out passionate, self-motivated people, committed to our shared vision of raising the standard of trust online. If you are a senior software engineer, visit our careers page to find out more about our openings!

We use submodules, so you will need to bring them into the project in order to build and run it:

Run git submodule update --init --recursive

If you're not part of the DuckDuckGo team, go to Signing & Capabilities to select your team and custom bundle identifier.

We use Swift Package Manager for dependency management, which shouldn't require any additional set up.

We use SwifLint for enforcing Swift style and conventions, so you'll need to install it.

We have taken steps to update our terminology and remove words with problematic racial connotations, most notably the change to main branches, allow lists, and blocklists. Closed issues or PRs may contain deprecated terminology that should not be used going forward.

Please refer to contributing.
