<h1>The Tor Project is looking for another dedicated core developer!</h1>
|
|
<h1>Note: we've filled this position for now, but we hope to be looking
|
|
for another core developer in the future.</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 starting in 2013 (with plenty of
|
|
work to keep you busy), with the possibility of 2014 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 remotely.</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

|
ChangeLog file from the Tor source distribution</a>.

|
|
Other notes:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>You'll need to be comfortable in this environment! We
|
|
coordinate via IRC, instant messaging, 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 and 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>

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 16 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.
