<h1>The Tor Project is looking for another dedicated core developer!</h1>
<p>
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 for 2012 (starting as soon as you're
ready and with plenty of work to keep you busy), with the possibility of
2013 and beyond.
</p>
<p>
Any candidate must:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Have extensive experience in C, and several other programming
languages. At least 5 years experience with C is probably necessary
for the level of expertise we want; most people would need more.</li>
<li>Have a solid understanding of issues surrounding secure C programming.</li>
<li>Be comfortable working from home (or wherever your preferred
Internet connection is).</li>
<li>Be familiar and experienced with nonblocking, event-driven networking
programs.</li>
<li>Be comfortable and experienced with interacting with users online.</li>
<li>Be comfortable and experienced with driving the entire lifecycle
of a new feature in an existing piece of software, from design to
implementation to testing.</li>
<li>Be comfortable and experienced getting code and design reviewed,
and reviewing the code and design of others.</li>
<li>Be comfortable with transparency: as a non-profit, everything we do
is in public, including your name and pay rate.</li>
</ul>
<p>
An ideal candidate would also:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Know enough of the basics of cryptography in order to understand
how to implement our protocols and discuss changes to them. (Actually
implementing block ciphers and stuff like that isn't necessary.)</li>
<li>Know enough about networking in order to understand how to implement
our protocols and discuss changes to them.</li>
<li>Have experience with high-performance networking code.</li>
<li>Have experience with open-source software development, including
working with distributed teams across different time-zones containing
employees and volunteers of differing skill levels over email and IRC.</li>
<li>Have basic familiarity with distributed version control systems.</li>
<li>Have contributed significant chunks of code to multiple
open-source projects in the past.</li>
<li>Genuinely be excited about Tor and our values.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Being a core Tor developer includes triaging,
diagnosing, and fixing bugs; looking for and resolving security
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
designs, and looking for ways to improve it. For an idea of the
breadth and depth of the work you'd be doing, have a look at <a
href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/HEAD:/ChangeLog">the
ChangeLog file from the Tor source distribution</a>.
</p>
<p>
Other notes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Tor developers don't have an office; you can work from wherever you
want, in basically any country. You'll need to be comfortable in
this environment! We coordinate via IRC, email, and bug trackers.</li>
<li>Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have the right
experience.</li>
<li>We only write free (open source) software, and we don't believe in
software patents.</li>
</ul>
<p>
How to apply:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Link to a sample of code you've written in the past that you're
allowed to show us.</li>
<li>Provide a CV explaining your background, experience, skills, and
other relevant qualifications.</li>
<li>List some people who can tell us more about you: these references
could be employers or coworkers, open source projects, etc.</li>
<li>Email the above to jobs at torproject.org.</li>
</ul>
<p>
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 13 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.
