Through this fellowship, +we're seeking to host a User Advocate to bridge the gap between Tor +users and Tor developers. If you're passionate about internet freedom +and improving software to make it more user-friendly, this might be the +perfect job for you. +</p> + +<p> +Tor is widely considered the strongest internet privacy software, +and we want to make it the most user-friendly. Millions of people use +Tor every day to protect their privacy, safety, and freedom of expression +on the internet. Because Tor's users are distributed across the globe +and have varying levels of technical skill, we are looking for someone +who can gather data from this diverse group of people to help us make +usability improvements. +</p> + +<p> +Your job will be to identify common user problems: where people +get stuck setting up or using Tor, and what we can do to address those +issues. After identifying and documenting the common problems, you will +coordinate with our teams to ensure the problems are addressed. +</p> + +<p> +The ideal candidate will be someone skilled at working with developers +to understand the root causes of user issues while still maintaining +a broad, user-centric view of the problems and areas where Tor can +improve. Previous experience working in a supportive role is a huge +plus. +</p> + +<h2>The ideal candidate will have the following:</h2> + +<ul> +<li>Experience with public interest technology and commitment to +addressing issues like privacy, security, and inclusion online</li> +<li>Familiarity with the ins and outs of Tor Browser, the Tor network, +and the various applications that integrate Tor's privacy and security +protections</li> +<li>Exceptional patience and willingness to talk through issues and +problems with people across many cultures - the more detail you can get +from affected users, the better!</li> +<li>Be detail-oriented in filing comprehensive bug reports (Trac is +the primary tool Tor developers use to discuss and deploy new features +and bug-fixes)</li> +<li>Capability of keeping the big picture in mind without becoming overly +distracted by any single area</li> +<li>Excitement for being a user advocate and for getting common user +issues prioritized in the development roadmaps for each team</li> +<li>Willingness and ability to travel internationally during the term +of this fellowship</li> +<li>Fluency in languages other than English is also a major plus.</li> +</ul> + +<p> +The fellow will receive a $60,000 stipend, paid in monthly installments, +as well as supplements for childcare and health insurance. This is a +full-time fellowship, either working from our Seattle office or remotely. +</p> + +<h2>How to apply:</h2> + +<p> +To apply, visit <a +href="https://foundation.mozilla.org/fellowships/apply/%22%3EMozilla%27s +application page</a>, create an account, and select “Open Web.” The +deadline for applications is April 20, 2018 at 5pm EDT. +</p> + +<h2>About Tor:</h2> + +<p> +The Tor Project, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) organization headquartered +in Seattle that provides the technical infrastructure for privacy +protection over the Internet, helping millions of activists, journalists +and others around the world communicate securely.
