<h1>The Tor Project is looking for a Project Coordinator!</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A project coordinator is the person who brings order to chaos. You will coordinate and help track
|
|
deliverables, progress, and metrics of current projects. You will also
|
|
help plan future projects through proposals.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Your impact will involve:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Deriving deliverables, deadlines, and milestones for each active
|
|
contract.</li>
|
|
<li>Developing timelines and schedules for completion of milestones and
|
|
deliverables for each active, and occasionally proposed, contract.</li>
|
|
<li>Collecting ideas and potential deliverables for the future.</li>
|
|
<li>Raising concerns, timeline slips, and probability of missed deadlines
|
|
to management.</li>
|
|
<li>Helping with managing people's schedules, work load, and keeping various
|
|
people or teams in communication with one another.</li>
|
|
<li>Tracking deliverable completion.</li>
|
|
<li>Developing and maintaining metrics about project completion rate
|
|
and other measures as based on <a
|
|
href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/10/26.html">evidence-based
|
|
project management</a> or something similar.</li>
|
|
<li>Helping contractors develop their contract deliverables for six month
|
|
periods based on expected workload.</li>
|
|
<li>Maintaining project status pages on trac (or whatever system we have)
|
|
with deliverables, tickets, and monthly summaries of progress.</li>
|
|
<li>Helping to write the monthly progress reports required for contracts.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>In general, you should:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Be comfortable and experienced with interacting with users and other
|
|
developers online.</li>
|
|
<li>Be comfortable working remotely.</li>
|
|
<li>Be comfortable with transparency: as a non-profit, everything we do is in
|
|
public, including your name (or at least your business name) and pay
|
|
rate.</li>
|
|
<li>Be comfortable and experienced justifying and documenting technical
|
|
decisions for a public, world-wide technical audience.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>An ideal candidate would also:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<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 multiple mediums,
|
|
including email, instant messaging, and IRC.</li>
|
|
<li>Have experience maintaining long-term software projects.
|
|
<li>Have basic familiarity with distributed version control systems.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Other notes:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Tor has an office in Walpole, MA. However, you can work from
|
|
wherever you want, in basically any country. You'll need to be
|
|
comfortable in this environment! We coordinate via IRC, Instant
|
|
Messaging, email, phone and video chats, 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 projects you've coordinated 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
|

|
|
etc.</li>

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 15 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.
