Your job would be to work on all aspects of the main Tor network daemon

and other open-source software.

This would be a contractor position starting in 2013 (with plenty of

work to keep you busy), with the possibility of 2014 and beyond.

Being a core Tor developer includes triaging,

issues; and working collaboratively with coworkers and volunteers

on implementing new features and protocol changes at every stage from

design to maintenance. We'd also need help making our code more scalable,

testable, and maintainable. Sometimes, we need to drop everything and

scramble to implement last-minute anticensorship schemes, or to deploy

urgent security updates. You'd also be reviewing other people's code and

About the company:<br>
|
||||
The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to research,
|
||||
development, and education about online anonymity and privacy. The Tor
|
||||
network's 3000 volunteer relays carry 14 Gbps for upwards of half a million
|
||||
daily users, including ordinary citizens who want protection from identity
|
||||
theft and prying corporations, corporations who want to look at a
|
||||
competitor's website in private, people around the world whose Internet
|
||||
connections are censored, and even governments and law enforcement. Tor has
|
||||
a staff of 14 paid developers, researchers, and advocates, plus many dozen
|
||||
volunteers who help out on a daily basis. Tor is funded in part by
|
||||
government research and development grants, and in part by individual and
|
||||
corporate donations.
