+Internet Freedom Nonprofit Seeks Browser Developer
+
+The Tor Project, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing human
rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity
and privacy technologies, is seeking an experienced developer to work on Tor
Browser.
+
+Tor is for everyone, and we are actively working to build a team that
represents people from all over the world - people from diverse ethnic,
national, and cultural backgrounds; people from all walks of life. Racial
minorities, non-gender-binary people, women, and people from any group that is
generally underrepresented in tech are encouraged to apply.
+
+This Browser Developer will be an integral part of a small team that maintains
the Tor Browser as well as other Tor applications inside the organization. The
team coordinates both synchronously and asynchronously via IRC, email, bug
trackers, and some voice meetings. A personal commitment to free and open
source software, good communication and documentation skills, and passion for
contributing to the greater good are all essential.
+
+This is a full-time, remote position.

+description:
+
+## Browser Developer
+*April 19, 2021*
+
+## The Job:
+
+- Provide code review for new browser modifications, and accept code review
from other team members
+- Evaluate and audit recent changes in Firefox, and understand how that
affects Tor Browser users
+- Support maintaining Tor Browser on top of recent versions of Firefox
+- Improve Tor Browser's security, privacy, and anonymity properties
+- Collaborate with Mozilla and directly improve Firefox
+- Simplify and improve Tor Browser's current protections
+- Support the continuous integration testing framework and tests
+- Collaborate with other teams at the Tor Project, external software projects
(e.g. OONI), and research groups.
+- Improve Tor Browser's web compatibility
+
+Our main codebases: Tor Browser is the combination of [multiple
codebases](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/wikis/Codebases).
+
+## Requirements -- Technical Abilities/Experience:
+
+- Advanced skills in writing C/C++, Rust and JavaScript.
+- Possess a solid understanding of issues surrounding secure C++ programming
and reference counted memory (at least to the level of avoiding issues).
+- Be comfortable diving into new, unfamiliar codebases, looking for ways to
alter and augment their functionality in specific, goal-oriented ways.
+- Be familiar with web technologies and how the web works, especially the
same-origin model and web tracking.
+- Willingness and ability to justify and document technical decisions for a
public, world-wide technical audience.
+- Be comfortable working remotely with a geographically distributed team.
+- 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.
+- Comfort with transparency: as a non-profit organization that develops open
source software, almost everything we do is public, including your name (or at
least your business name) and possibly salary information.
+
+## Preferred qualifications:
+
+- Familiarity and/or experience with writing add-ons and/or patches for
Mozilla Firefox or other web browsers.
+- Familiarity with compiling software for the Android platform.
+- Familiarity with browser fingerprinting defenses
+- Familiarity with Firefox's internal architecture, including its use of
multiple processes and sandboxing.
+- Be intensely creative yet also ruthlessly pragmatic in your thinking.
+- Know enough about networking to be able to visualize what HTTP 1.1 looks
like on the wire while encapsulated within Tor's network protocol.
+- Open-source experience: contributed significant chunks of code to multiple
open-source projects in the past.
+- Familiarity with distributed version control systems, including Git.
+- Genuinely be excited about Tor and its values!
+
+
+For a more detailed understanding of the full breadth and depth of the work
you'd be doing, have a look at The Design and Implementation of the Tor
Browser, especially The Design Requirements section at
[https://spec.torproject.org/torbrowser-design#DesignRequirements](https://spec.torproject.org/torbrowser-design#DesignRequirements).
+
+Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have the right experience!
+
+## How to Apply
+
+To apply, submit a cover letter, your CV/resume (including three professional
references), and a link to a code sample or some non-trivial software project
you have significantly contributed to. In your cover letter, please include the
reason you want to work at the Tor Project.
+
+IMPORTANT: Please email application materials in PDF format to job-browser at
torproject dot org with "Browser Developer" in the subject line.
+
+The Tor Project's workforce is smart, committed, and hard working. We
currently have a paid and contract staff of around 24 developers and
operational support people, plus many thousands of volunteers who contribute to
our work. The Tor Project is funded in part by government research and
development grants, and in part by individual, foundation, and corporate
donations.
+
+Salary for this position depends on experience and there is voluntary opt-in
salary transparency for employees and contractors.
+
+The Tor Project has a competitive benefits package, including a generous PTO
policy, 16 paid holidays per year (including the week between Christmas and New
Year's, when the office is closed), and flexible work schedule. Insurance
benefits vary by employment status and country of residence.
+
+The Tor Project, Inc. is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.
