	13	+<h1>The Tor Project is looking for a Browser Hacker!</h1>
	14	+
	15	+<p>
	16	+
	17	+Your job would be to work on Torbutton and patches to our Firefox-based
	18	+browser, as well as a potential Android port. This would be a contractor
	19	+position for the remainder of 2012 (starting as soon as you're ready and with
	20	+plenty of work to keep you busy), with the possibility of 2013 and beyond.
	21	+
	22	+</p>
	23	+
	24	+<p>
	25	+Any candidate must:
	26	+</p>
	27	+
	28	+<ul>
	29	+
	30	+<li>Have experience in C++ and ideally Javascript. At least 5 years experience
	31	+is probably necessary for the level of expertise we want, though some of these
	32	+years can be replaced with other Object Oriented Programming and/or C
	33	+experience. If you meet this level of experience with C++/OOP, Javascript can
	34	+be learned on the job.</li>
	35	+
	36	+<li>Have a solid understanding of issues surrounding secure C++ programming
	37	+(at least to the level of avoiding them).</li>
	38	+
	39	+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with repeatedly diving into new, unfamiliar
	40	+codebases, looking for ways to alter and augment their functionality in
	41	+specific, goal-oriented ways.</li>
	42	+
	43	+<li>Be at least passingly familiar with web technologies and how the web
	44	+works, especially the same origin model and web tracking.</li>
	45	+
	46	+<li>Be comfortable and experienced justifying and documenting technical
	47	+decisions for a public, world-wide technical audience.</li>
	48	+
	49	+<li>Be comfortable working from home (or wherever your preferred
	50	+ Internet connection is).</li>
	51	+
	52	+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with interacting with users and other
	53	+developers online. Have thick enough skin to survive occasional trolling
	54	+from either group.</li>
	55	+
	56	+<li>Be comfortable with transparency: as a non-profit, everything we do is in
	57	+public, including your name and pay rate (though the latter is a little
	58	+malleable with proper application of bureaucratic ninja skills).</li>
	59	+
	60	+</ul>
	61	+
	62	+<p>
	63	+An ideal candidate would also:
	64	+</p>
	65	+
	66	+<ul>
	67	+
	68	+<li>Already be familiar with writing addons for Mozilla Firefox or other web
	69	+browsers.</li>
	70	+
	71	+<li>Already be familiar with writing patches for Mozilla Firefox or other web
	72	+browsers.</li>
	73	+
	74	+<li>Already be familiar with compiling software for the Android platform.</li>
	75	+
	76	+<li>Be capable of insanely creative yet also ruthlessly pragmatic thinking.</li>
	77	+
	78	+<li>Be familiar with probability, statistics, and information theory.</li>
	79	+
	80	+<li>Know enough about networking in to be able to visualize what HTTP 1.1
	81	+looks like on the wire while encapsulated within Tor's network protocol.</li>
	82	+
	83	+<li>Have experience with open-source software development, including
	84	+ working with distributed teams across different time-zones containing
	85	+ employees and volunteers of differing skill levels over email and IRC.</li>
	86	+<li>Have basic familiarity with distributed version control systems.</li>
	87	+<li>Have contributed significant chunks of code to multiple
	88	+ open-source projects in the past.</li>
	89	+<li>Genuinely be excited about Tor and our values.</li>
	90	+</ul>
	91	+

	93	+Detailed job description:

	95	+
	96	+<blockquote>
	97	+
	98	+<p>
	99	+
	100	+Being a Tor Browser Hacker includes triaging, diagnosing, and fixing bugs;
	101	+looking for and resolving web privacy issues; responding on short notice to
	102	+security issues; and working collaboratively with coworkers and volunteers on
	103	+implementing new features and web behavior changes.
	104	+
	105	+</p>
	106	+
	107	+<p>
	108	+
	109	+We'd also need help making our code more maintainable, testable, and mergeable
	110	+by upstream. Sometimes, we need to drop everything and scramble to implement
	111	+last-minute fixes, or to deploy urgent security updates. You'd also be
	112	+reviewing other people's code, designs, and academic research papers, and
	113	+looking for ways to improve upon them.
	114	+
	115	+</p>
	116	+
	117	+<p>
	118	+
	119	+For an even more detailed overview of the full breadth and depth of the work
	120	+you'd be doing, have a look at <a
	121	+href="https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/">The Design and
	122	+Implementation of the Tor Browser</a>, especially <a
	123	+href="https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#DesignRequirements">The
	124	+Design Requirements</a> section.

	130	+<p>
	131	+Other notes:
	132	+</p>
	133	+
	134	+<ul>
	135	+<li>Tor developers don't have an office; you can work from wherever you
	136	+ want, in basically any country. You'll need to be comfortable in
	137	+ this environment! We coordinate via IRC, email, and bug trackers.</li>
	138	+<li>Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have the right
	139	+ experience.</li>
	140	+<li>We only write free (open source) software, and we don't believe in
	141	+ software patents.</li>
	142	+</ul>
	143	+
	144	+<p>
	145	+How to apply:
	146	+</p>
	147	+
	148	+<ul>
	149	+<li>Link to a sample of code you've written in the past that you're
	150	+ allowed to show us.</li>
	151	+<li>Provide a CV explaining your background, experience, skills, and
	152	+ other relevant qualifications.</li>
	153	+<li>List some people who can tell us more about you: these references
	154	+ could be employers or coworkers, open source projects, etc.</li>
	155	+<li>Email the above to jobs at torproject.org.</li>
	156	+</ul>

	159	+About the company:<br>
	160	+ The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to research,
	161	+ development, and education about online anonymity and privacy. The Tor
	162	+ network's 3000 volunteer relays carry 14 Gbps for upwards of half a million
	163	+ daily users, including ordinary citizens who want protection from identity
	164	+ theft and prying corporations, corporations who want to look at a
	165	+ competitor's website in private, people around the world whose Internet
	166	+ connections are censored, and even governments and law enforcement. Tor has
	167	+ a staff of 13 paid developers, researchers, and advocates, plus many dozen
	168	+ volunteers who help out on a daily basis. Tor is funded in part by
	169	+ government research and development grants, and in part by individual and
	170	+ corporate donations.
