+    <h2>(Posted July 25, 2018)</h2>
+
+    <p>The Tor Project, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, is seeking a Senior Systems Administrator to maintain, upgrade and manage our organization’s software, hardware, and networks. The goal of the Tor Project’s sysadmin will be to ensure that our technology infrastructure runs securely, smoothly, and efficiently and that Tor Project employees, contractors, and volunteers have the knowledge and resources to do their work.</p>
+
+    <p>The ideal candidate is resourceful, creative, and able to diagnose and resolve problems quickly. Our sysadmin must have the patience to communicate with a variety of interdisciplinary teams and users, including some who are not technical and others who are extremely technical. The sysadmin will set and guide the strategy for all of our internal technology infrastructure with the participation and assistance of our open source community. This job requires a jack-of-all-trades, and every day is likely to present new and different challenges.</p>
+
+    <p>The ideal candidate will have at least five years of experience running open source systems. This is a senior level position that reports directly to the Executive Director and is part of the organization’s leadership team. This person will manage one direct report, our Junior Services Administrator. This will be the organization’s first paid sysadmin, and a willingness to work with our highly effective, long-term volunteer sysadmins is essential.</p>

+      <li>Experience with automation tools that scale (e.g., puppet)</li>
+      <li>Knowledge of system security (e.g., intrusion detection systems) and data backup/recovery</li>
+      <li>Ability to create scripts in Python, Perl or other language</li>
+      <li>Familiarity with various operating systems and platforms</li>
+      <li>Experience helping users think through how best to achieve their tasks (ie, the right combination of sustainable, safe, easy to deploy and use, does what they want)</li>
+      <li>Great intuition about what service and config choices will keep things from going out of control</li>
+      <li>Must be or become strongly trusted by our community</li>
+      <li>Resourcefulness and problem-solving aptitude</li>
+      <li>Excellent communication skills </li>
