tor-webwml.git

add the text for dcf's flashproxy position (but call it pluggable transports, since flash isn't the skillset we want and since i hope to make the position something broader once flashproxy rules the earth).

+<h1>The Tor Project is looking for a pluggable transport developer!</h1>
10 
+
11 
+<p>
12 
+This job is for the development and maintenance of the
13 
+<a href="https://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy/">flash proxy</a>
14 
+circumvention system, with a focus on deployment and getting tools in
15 
+the hands of users. If it goes well, we might have you branch out into
16 
+improving usability and deployability of other Tor pluggable transports.
17 
+</p>
18 
+
19 
+<p>
20 
+Applicants must be familiar with Python, JavaScript, and web
21 
+technologies, particularly WebSocket. You will do usability testing and
22 
+be in charge of producing binary packages of client software for
23 
+GNU/Linux, Windows, and OS X. The system's supporting infrastructure is
24 
+already in place, but may require changes depending on the future
25 
+development of the client programs. There also is the potential for the
26 
+development and implementation of new covert rendezvous methods that may
27 
+have broader use outside the flash proxy system.
28 
+</p>
29 
+
30 
+<p>
31 
+You will be assisted and mentored by David Fifield, the primary
32 
+developer of the flash proxy software and co-author of its
33 
+<a href="https://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy/flashproxy.pdf">research
34 
+paper</a>, and all-around good guy.
35 
+</p>
36 
+
37 
+<p>
38 
+This link will display open flash proxy tickets, giving an idea of the
39 
+tasks we want done.

44

45

46 
+<p>
47 
+All candidates must:
48 
+</p>
49 
+
50 
+<ul>
51 
+
52 
+<li>
53 
+Know Python and JavaScript. At least two years of experience, or less if
54 
+you have a few years' experience with other programming languages.
55 
+</li>
56 
+
57 
+<li>
58 
+Have experience in packaging software. In particular, it is likely that
59 
+you will need to use py2exe to make Windows packages, and you should
60 
+know how to use makefiles.
61 
+</li>
62 
+
63 
+<li>
64 
+Be self-directed: The best candidates can solve problems on their own
65 
+but also know when to ask for help. Communication with other developers
66 
+will happen over email, instant messaging, and IRC.
67 
+</li>
68 
+
69 
+</ul>
70 
+
71 
+<p>
72 
+An ideal candidate would also:
73 
+</p>
74 
+
75 
+<ul>
76 
+
77 
+<li>
78 
+Know about Tor
79 
+<a href="https://www.torproject.org/docs/pluggable-transports.html.en">pluggable
80 
+transports</a> and their
81 
+<a href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/proposals/180-pluggable-transport.txt">specification</a>.
82 
+</li>
83 
+
84 
+<li>
85 
+Have run the
86 
+<a href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/flashproxy.git/blob/HEAD:/README">sample
87 
+commands in the README</a>, and made notes about the process. One of
88 
+your early tasks will be to do such testing so that the packages you
89 
+make will be effectively usable.
90 
+</li>
91 
+
92 
+<li>
93 
+Have an idea of real-world censorship regimes and the threat model faced
94 
+by circumvention tools.
95 
+</li>
96 
+
97 
+<li>
98 
+Have basic familiarity with distributed version control systems.
99 
+</li>
100 
+
101 
+</ul>
102 
+
103 
+<p>
104 
+Other notes:
105 
+</p>
106 
+
107 
+<ul>
108 
+	<li>Tor developers don't have an office; you can work from
109 
+	wherever you want, in basically any country. You'll need to be
110 
+	comfortable in this environment! We coordinate via IRC, email,
111 
+	and bug trackers.</li>
112 
+	<li>Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have
113 
+	the right experience.</li>
114 
+	<li>We only write free and open source software, and we don't
115 
+	believe in software patents.</li>
116 
+</ul>
117 
+
118 
+<p>
119 
+How to apply:
120 
+</p>
121 
+
122 
+<ul>
123 
+	<li>Link to a sample of code you've written in the past that
124 
+	you're allowed to show us.</li>
125 
+	<li>Provide a CV explaining your background, experience, skills,
126 
+	and other relevant qualifications.</li>
127 
+	<li>List some people who can tell us more about you: these
128 
+	references could be employers or coworkers, open source projects,
129 
+	etc.</li>
130 
+	<li>Email the above to jobs at torproject.org, specifying the
131 
+	"flash proxy" position.</li>
132 
+</ul>

+About the company:<br>
136 
+ The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to research,
137 
+ development, and education about online anonymity and privacy. The Tor
138 
+ network's 3000 volunteer relays carry 14 Gbps for upwards of half a
139 
+ million daily users, including ordinary citizens who want protection
140 
+ from identity theft and prying corporations, corporations who want
141 
+ to look at a competitor's website in private, people around the world
142 
+ whose Internet connections are censored, and even governments and law
143 
+ enforcement. Tor has a staff of 14 paid developers, researchers, and
144 
+ advocates, plus many dozen volunteers who help out on a daily basis. Tor
145 
+ is funded in part by government research and development grants, and
146 
+ in part by individual and corporate donations.
