Internet Freedom Nonprofit Seeks Software Developer for Anti-Censorship
Team
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.
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.
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.
This developer position will be an integral part of our brand new Anti-
Censorship Team. Main responsibilities for this position are:
• Devise metrics and load balancing mechanisms for our
current and future bridge distribution system.
• Analyze our current BridgeDB design to determine how it
can better leverage other circumvention solutions, such as newer pluggable
transports (PTs).
• Review our current list of PTs and decide which we should
continue to maintain.
• Evaluate new Pluggable Transports against our criteria to
determine if they should be supported.
• Work with other members of the anti-censorship team lead
to evaluate, pick and implement censorship-resistant discovery mechanisms
for pluggable transport addresses.
• Evaluate cryptographic solutions to rate limiting bridge
distribution, and if any are feasible, implement them.
Required qualifications:
• extensive experience writing and evaluating code in Python
and Go
• experience in designing and documenting software
engineering solutions to problems;
• self-directed
• comfortable and reliable with working remotely
Preferred qualifications:
• development experience in Rust
• understanding of the Tor pluggable transport ecosystem and
the censorship circumvention research space
• familiarity with developing and scaling distributed
systems
• previous contributions to other open source projects
Experience working with open source communities and/or a dedication to
Internet freedom are added pluses.
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!
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.
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.
The Tor Project, Inc., is an equal opportunity, affirmative action
employer.
