\opening{Dear Hiring Manager for the Research Engineer Position:} 
 
\noindent I found your open Research Engineer position through the
Mozilla career site and am applying because this role aligns with my
future goals as a software engineer. As a loyal user of Mozilla
products I deeply resonate with Mozilla's goal of building a better
Internet and am excited about the possibility to work for a company
that has changed the Internet so profoundly.
 
\noindent For the past 3 years I have been expanding and maintaining
a large Java Spring web application for Cargill Inc. Risk Management.
This has made me sensitive to the difficulties in providing a unified
experience on the web. I would like to use my skills and ambitions
to make the web a better place for everyone; developers, designers and users
alike. I have hobbyist experience with Rust and love the work I
have done in the language so far, I think it has a very bright future
ahead of it.
 
\noindent I would love to have an opportunity to share my experience,
discuss the position, and explore the unique background I can bring
to the team.
 
\closing{Thanks for your time,}
