+<h1>The Tor Project is looking for a Browser Developer!</h1>
+<h2>(Posted 16 Jun 2017)</h2>
+
+<p>
+June 15, 2017
+</p>
+<p>
+The Tor Project is looking for 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.
+</p>
+<p>
+This is a full-time position.
+</p>
+
+<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>
+ <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.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Preferred qualifications:</h2>
+<ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Familiarity and/or experience with writing add-ons and/or patches for
Mozilla Firefox or other web browsers.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Familiarity with compiling software for the Android platform.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Familiarity with Firefox's internal architecture, including its use of
multiple processes and sandboxing.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Be intensely creative yet also ruthlessly pragmatic in your thinking.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Possess knowledge/familiarity of probability, statistics, and
information theory.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ 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.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Experience working with distributed (remote) teams across different
time-zones with people of differing skill levels over multiple mediums,
including email, instant messaging, and IRC.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Open-source experience: contributed significant chunks of code to
multiple open-source projects in the past.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Familiarity with distributed version control systems, including Git.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Genuinely be excited about Tor and its values!
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+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 <a

+</p>
+<p>
+Other notes:
+</p>
+<p>
+Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have the right experience!
+</p>
+<p>
+The team coordinates via IRC, email, and bug trackers. This position may be
performed remotely, but we would be happy to provide a desk at our office in
Seattle, Washington. We also have informal shared workspace arrangements in NYC
and San Francisco.
+</p>
+<p>
+The Tor Project, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides
the technical infrastructure for privacy protection over the Internet. With

source software, and we don't believe in software patents.
