+<h1>The Tor Project is looking for another dedicated core developer!</h1>
|

14
|

|
|
15
|
+<p>
|
|
16
|
+This would be a contractor position for 2012, starting as soon as you're
|
|
17
|
+ready, with the possibility of 2013 and beyond.

18
|

|
+<p>
|
|
21
|
+Any candidate must:
|
|
22
|
+</p>
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+<ul>
|
|
25
|
+<li>Have extensive experience in C, and several other programming
|
|
26
|
+ languages. At least 5 years experience with C is probably necessary
|
|
27
|
+ for the level of expertise we want; most people would need more.</li>
|
|
28
|
+<li>Have a solid understanding of issues surrounding secure C programming.</li>
|
|
29
|
+<li>Be comfortable working from home (or wherever your preferred
|
|
30
|
+ Internet connection is).</li>
|
|
31
|
+<li>Be familiar and experienced with nonblocking, event-driven networking
|
|
32
|
+ programs.</li>
|
|
33
|
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with interacting with users online.</li>
|
|
34
|
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with driving the entire lifecycle
|
|
35
|
+ of a new feature in an existing piece of software, from design to
|
|
36
|
+ implementation to testing.</li>
|
|
37
|
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced getting code and design reviewed,
|
|
38
|
+ and reviewing the code and design of others.</li>
|
|
39
|
+<li>Be comfortable with transparency: as a non-profit, everything we do
|
|
40
|
+ is in public, including your name and pay rate.</li>
|
|
41
|
+</ul>
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+<p>
|
|
44
|
+An ideal candidate would also:
|
|
45
|
+</p>
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+<ul>
|
|
48
|
+<li>Know enough of the basics of cryptography in order to understand
|
|
49
|
+ how to implement our protocols and discuss changes to them. (Actually
|
|
50
|
+ implementing block ciphers and stuff like that isn't necessary.)</li>
|
|
51
|
+<li>Know enough about networking in order to understand how to implement
|
|
52
|
+ our protocols and discuss changes to them.</li>
|
|
53
|
+<li>Have experience with high-performance networking code.</li>
|
|
54
|
+<li>Have experience with open-source software development, including
|
|
55
|
+ working with distributed teams across different time-zones containing
|
|
56
|
+ employees and volunteers of differing skill levels over email and IRC.</li>
|
|
57
|
+<li>Have basic familiarity with distributed version control systems.</li>
|
|
58
|
+<li>Have contributed significant chunks of code to multiple
|
|
59
|
+ open-source projects in the past.</li>
|
|
60
|
+<li>Genuinely be excited about Tor and our values.</li>

|
+</ul>
|
|
62
|

|
|
63
|
+<p>
|
|
64
|
+Your job would be to work on all aspects of the main Tor network
|
|
65
|
+daemon and other open-source software. This would include triaging,
|
|
66
|
+diagnosing, and fixing bugs; looking for and resolving security
|
|
67
|
+issues; and working collaboratively with coworkers and volunteers
|
|
68
|
+on implementing new features and protocol changes at every stage from
|
|
69
|
+design to maintenance. We'd also need help making our code more scalable,
|
|
70
|
+testable, and maintainable. Sometimes, we need to drop everything and
|
|
71
|
+scramble to implement last-minute anticensorship schemes, or to deploy
|
|
72
|
+urgent security updates. You'd also be reviewing other people's code and
|
|
73
|
+designs, and looking for ways to improve it. For an idea of the
|
|
74
|
+breadth and depth of the work you'd be doing, have a look at <a

|
+<ul>
|
|
84
|
+<li>Tor developers don't have an office; you can work from wherever you

85
|
+ want. You'll need to be comfortable in this environment! We coordinate

|
86
|
+ via IRC, email, and bug trackers.</li>
|
|
87
|
+<li>Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have the right
|
|
88
|
+ experience.</li>
|
|
89
|
+<li>We only write free (open source) software, and we don't believe in

+About the company:<br>
|
|
109
|
+ The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to research,
|
|
110
|
+ development, and education about online anonymity and privacy. The Tor
|
|
111
|
+ network's 3000 volunteer relays carry 14 Gbps for upwards of half a million
|
|
112
|
+ daily users, including ordinary citizens who want protection from identity
|
|
113
|
+ theft and prying corporations, corporations who want to look at a
|
|
114
|
+ competitor's website in private, people around the world whose Internet
|
|
115
|
+ connections are censored, and even governments and law enforcement. Tor has
|
|
116
|
+ a staff of 13 paid developers, researchers, and advocates, plus many dozen
|
|
117
|
+ volunteers who help out on a daily basis. Tor is funded in part by
|
|
118
|
+ government research and development grants, and in part by individual and
|
|
119
|
+ corporate donations.
