The Tor Project is looking for a Browser Developer (C++ and Javascript)!
</p>
<p>
-As a browser developer, your job would be to
work closely with other members of the Tor Browser
development team on C++ patches to our Firefox-based
browser, writing new APIs, altering functionality for
privacy and security, and making improvements to our
collection of Firefox add-ons (JavaScript code). Being a
Tor Browser developer includes triaging, diagnosing,
and fixing bugs; looking for and resolving web privacy
issues; responding on short notice to urgent security
issues; and working collaboratively with coworkers and
volunteers to implement new features and web
behavior changes. We also need help making our
code more maintainable, testable, and mergeable by
upstream. The person in this position will also
review other people's code, designs, and academic
research papers to make suggestions for improvement.

<h2>Required Qualifications:</h2>
<ul>
- <li>
- Experience in C++ (and ideally, JavaScript). Five years of C++
experience is probably necessary for the level of expertise we want, though
some of these years can be replaced with other Object Oriented Programming
and/or C experience. If you meet this level of experience with C++/OOP,
JavaScript can be learned on the job.
- </li>
- <li>
- Possess a solid understanding of issues surrounding secure C++
programming and reference counted memory (at least to the level of avoiding
issues).

- <li>
- Be comfortable diving into new, unfamiliar codebases, looking for ways
to alter and augment their functionality in specific, goal-oriented ways.
- </li>
- <li>
- Be familiar with web technologies and how the web works, especially
the same-origin model and web tracking.
- </li>
- <li>
- Willingness and ability to justify and document technical decisions
for a public, world-wide technical audience.
- </li>
- <li>
- Be comfortable working remotely with a geographically distributed team.
- </li>
- <li>
- Experience interacting with users and other developers online,
including experience being confronted with differing ideas and opinions (not
always in a nice manner), while maintaining a high level of professionalism.
- </li>
- <li>
- Comfort with transparency: as a non-profit organization who develops
open source software, almost everything we do is public, including your name
(or at least your business name) and possibly salary information.
