+Internet Freedom Nonprofit Seeks Software Engineers for Applications Team
(Browser and VPN)
+
+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 two experienced developers to work on the
Applications team.
+
+Our Applications Teamâs main project is the Tor Browser but we have plans to
develop other apps in the near future. We are looking for two (2) full-time
developers to join our team to help us with both Tor Browser development and
mobile app development. These two positions share a core set of skills, but
each has its own set of specific skills as well. However, regardless of whether
you have all of one set of skills or a combination of the two sets, please
apply! Further, if you feel that you meet several of the requirements, or
could meet them with a little support, we would love to hear from you.
+
+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.
+
+These are full-time, remote positions.
