+<h2>Tor: Open Positions</h2>
+<hr />
+
+<p>Tor is hiring! We're looking for self-motivated individuals who are
+able to work independently and want to help make Tor better.
+</p>
+
+<p>In particular, we're looking for three categories of people:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="#developer">Software Developer</a></li>
+<li><a href="#activist">Activist/Outreach</a></li>
+<li><a href="#nonprofit">Nonprofit Development</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Working on Tor is rewarding because:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>You can work your own hours in your own locations. As long as you
+get the job done, we don't care about the process.</li>
+<li>We only write free (open source) software. The tools you make won't
+be locked down or rot on a shelf.</li>
+<li>You will work with a world-class team of anonymity experts and
+developers on what is already the largest and most active strong anonymity
+network ever.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+We want you to have good communication and writing skills (in particular,
+you should know how to keep other project members informed of your
+progress), and we want you to know how to figure out what needs doing and
+then take the initiative to do it. Most project members play more than
+one role, so combination developer/activist/grantwriters are very welcome.
+</p>
+
+<a id="developer"></a>
+<h3><a class="anchor" href="#developer">Developer</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The best way to get noticed as a good developer is to join the community
+and start helping out. We have a great core group of developers working
+on the Tor software itself as well as supporting software like Vidalia,
+Torbutton, etc.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Periodically we get new funding to work on more development
+projects.  Your goal should be to get into the list of <a href="<page
+people>#Core">core project members</a> so we think of you when new
+funding arrives.
+</p>
+
+<a id="activist"></a>
+<h3><a class="anchor" href="#activist">Activist and Outreach</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+There are a lot of excited people about there who want to help Tor
+&mdash; by running relays, helping users, writing documentation,
+working on add-on tools, and so on. We need to keep in touch with
+all of them, help them work with each other, and help them understand
+where they can be most useful.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Tor activists should understand Tor's role in the world, and they should
+be good at explaining to the world why privacy/security/anonymity are
+important. They should also be well-connected with other groups around
+the world who care about these issues.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Like the developer positions above, the best way to get noticed
+for this position is to start helping out: join the <a href="<page
+documentation>#MailingLists">mailing lists</a> and the <a href="<page
+documentation>#Support">IRC channel</a>, help clean up our FAQ, and
+generally be useful. Once we notice you're competent and reliable,
+we'll add you to the <a href="<page contact>">"tor-assistants"</a> list,
+and we can see where it goes from there.
+</p>
+
+<a id="nonprofit"></a>
+<h3><a class="anchor" href="#nonprofit">Nonprofit development</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+We need an executive director and/or development director: somebody who
+can manage relationships with all the other civil liberties and human
+rights groups out there, work with our current funders, and help us turn
+potential funders into actual funders. This director would talk to
+the media as well as manage public relations for Tor.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The ideal candidate will have a range of experience in both nonprofit
+management and software development, including:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>strong and demonstrated commitment to civil liberties</li>
+<li>a clear understanding of the open source software development model
+and experience with open source development communities</li>
+<li>experience as a manager of a decentralized team, ideally in the
+nonprofit context</li>
+<li>ability to develop and implement press and messaging strategies</li>
+<li>proven nonprofit fund-raising ability</li>
+</ul>
+
+</p>
+In addition, we are looking to hire experienced grant-writers.
+</p>
