+<h1>User Advocate (Mozilla Fellowship)</h1>

+<h2>March 29, 2018</h2>

18
+<p>
19
+As an organization dedicated to safeguarding the
20
+open internet, the Tor Project is participating in the <a
21
+href="https://advocacy.mozilla.org/en-US/open-web-fellows/overview">Mozilla
22
+Open Web fellow</a> program as a host.  Through this fellowship,
23
+we're seeking to host a User Advocate to bridge the gap between Tor
24
+users and Tor developers. If you're passionate about internet freedom
25
+and improving software to make it more user-friendly, this might be the
26
+perfect job for you.
27
+</p>
28
+
29
+<p>
30
+Tor is widely considered the strongest internet privacy software,
31
+and we want to make it the most user-friendly. Millions of people use
32
+Tor every day to protect their privacy, safety, and freedom of expression
33
+on the internet. Because Tor's users are distributed across the globe
34
+and have varying levels of technical skill, we are looking for someone
35
+who can gather data from this diverse group of people to help us make
36
+usability improvements.
37
+</p>
38
+
39
+<p>
40
+Your job will be to identify common user problems: where people
41
+get stuck setting up or using Tor, and what we can do to address those
42
+issues. After identifying and documenting the common problems, you will
43
+coordinate with our teams to ensure the problems are addressed.
44
+</p>
45
+
46
+<p>
47
+The ideal candidate will be someone skilled at working with developers
48
+to understand the root causes of user issues while still maintaining
49
+a broad, user-centric view of the problems and areas where Tor can
50
+improve. Previous experience working in a supportive role is a huge
51
+plus.
52
+</p>
53
+
54
+<h2>The ideal candidate will have the following:</h2>
55
+
56
+<ul>
57
+<li>Experience with public interest technology and commitment to
58
+addressing issues like privacy, security, and inclusion online</li>
59
+<li>Familiarity with the ins and outs of Tor Browser, the Tor network,
60
+and the various applications that integrate Tor's privacy and security
61
+protections</li>
62
+<li>Exceptional patience and willingness to talk through issues and
63
+problems with people across many cultures - the more detail you can get
64
+from affected users, the better!</li>
65
+<li>Be detail-oriented in filing comprehensive bug reports (Trac is
66
+the primary tool Tor developers use to discuss and deploy new features
67
+and bug-fixes)</li>
68
+<li>Capability of keeping the big picture in mind without becoming overly
69
+distracted by any single area</li>
70
+<li>Excitement for being a user advocate and for getting common user
71
+issues prioritized in the development roadmaps for each team</li>
72
+<li>Willingness and ability to travel internationally during the term
73
+of this fellowship</li>
74
+<li>Fluency in languages other than English is also a major plus.</li>
75
+</ul>
76
+
77
+<p>
78
+The fellow will receive a $60,000 stipend, paid in monthly installments,
79
+as well as supplements for childcare and health insurance. This is a
80
+full-time fellowship, either working from our Seattle office or remotely.
