This would include triaging, +diagnosing, and fixing bugs; looking for and resolving security +issues; and working collaboratively with coworkers and volunteers +on implementing new features and protocol changes at every stage from +design to maintenance. We'd also need help making our code more scalable, +testable, and maintainable. Sometimes, we need to drop everything and +scramble to implement last-minute anticensorship schemes, or to deploy +urgent security updates. You'd also be reviewing other people's code and +designs, and looking for ways to improve it. For an idea of the +breadth and depth of the work you'd be doing, have a look at <a +href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/HEAD:/ChangeLog">the +ChangeLog file from the Tor source distribution</a>. +</p> + +<p> +Other notes: +</p> + +<ul> +<li>Tor developers don't have an office; you can work from wherever you + want.

Tor is funded in part by + government research and development grants, and in part by individual and + corporate donations. +</p> + + </div> + <!-- END MAINCOL --> + <div id = "sidecol"> +#include "side.wmi" +#include "info.wmi" + </div> + <!-- END SIDECOL --> +</div> +<!-- END CONTENT --> +#include <foot.wmi> + Property changes on: website/trunk/about/en/jobs.wml ___________________________________________________________________ Added: svn:keywords + Author Date Id Revision Added: svn:eol-style + native Modified: website/trunk/about/en/sidenav.wmi =================================================================== --- website/trunk/about/en/sidenav.wmi 2012-04-19 23:16:29 UTC (rev 25614) +++ website/trunk/about/en/sidenav.wmi 2012-04-20 02:21:18 UTC (rev 25615) @@ -38,6 +38,9 @@ }, {'url' => 'about/contributors', 'txt' => 'Past Contributors', + }, + {'url' => 'about/jobs', + 'txt' => 'Jobs', }] }, {'url' => 'about/sponsors',
