+ Internet Freedom Nonprofit Seeks Software Developer for Anti-Censorship Team
+ </h1>
+ <h2>(Posted September 24, 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 an experienced Software
+ Developer to take our anti-censorship work to the next level.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Tor is for everyone, and we are actively working to build a team that
+ represents people from all over the world — people from diverse ethnic,
+ national, and cultural backgrounds; people from all walks of life. Racial
+ minorities, non-gender-binary people, women, and people from any group that
+ is generally underrepresented in tech are encouraged to apply.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ This developer will improve the user experience process of finding
+ alternate routes to the Tor network when censorship events are blocking
+ access in their host countries. Experience with Internet security and
+ knowledge of obfuscation technologies would be a big help. Personal
+ commitment to open source and using your advanced programming skills for
+ the greater good is essential.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ This developer position will be an integral part of our brand new
+ Anti-Censorship Team. Main responsibilities for this position are:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Devise metrics and load balancing mechanisms for our current and
+ future bridge distribution system.</li>
+ <li>Analyze our current BridgeDB design to determine how it can better
+ leverage other circumvention solutions, such as newer pluggable
+ transports (PTs).</li>
+ <li>Review our current list of PTs and decide which we should continue to
+ maintain.</li>
+ <li>Evaluate new Pluggable Transports against our criteria to determine
+ if they should be supported.</li>
+ <li>Work with other members of the anti-censorship team lead to evaluate,
+ pick and implement censorship-resistant discovery mechanisms for
+ pluggable transport addresses.</li>
+ <li>Evaluate cryptographic solutions to rate limiting bridge
+ distribution, and if any are feasible, implement them.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Required qualifications:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>extensive experience writing and evaluating code in Python and Go</li>
+ <li>experience in designing and documenting software engineering
+ solutions to problems</li>
+ <li>self-directed</li>
+ <li>comfortable and reliable with working remotely</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Preferred qualifications:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>development experience in Rust</li>
+ <li>understanding of the Tor pluggable transport ecosystem and the
+ censorship circumvention research space</li>
+ <li>familiarity with developing and scaling distributed systems</li>
+ <li>previous contributions to other open source projects</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>
+ Experience working with open source communities and/or a dedication to
+ Internet freedom are added pluses.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ This is a full-time position that can be done remotely/internationally or
+ in our office in Seattle, WA. To apply, send a cover letter that includes a
+ statement about why you want to work at the Tor Project, your CV/resume
+ (including three professional references), and a link to a code sample or
+ some non-trivial software project you have significantly contributed to.
+ The email should go to job-anticensor at torproject dot org with
+ “Anti-Censorship Developer” in the subject line. No phone calls please!
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The Tor Project's workforce is smart and committed. The Tor Project
+ currently has a paid and contract staff of around 47 developers and
+ operational support staff, plus many thousands of volunteers who contribute
+ to our work. The Tor Project is funded in part by government research and
+ development grants, and in part by individual, foundation and corporate
+ donations.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Flexible salary, depending on experience. The Tor Project has a competitive
+ benefits package, including a generous PTO policy; 14 paid holidays per
+ year (including the week between Christmas and New Year's, when the office
+ is closed); health, vision, dental, disability, and life insurance paid in
+ full for employee; and flexible work schedule.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The Tor Project, Inc., is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.
