+<h1>The Tor Project is looking for another dedicated core developer!</h1>
+
+<p>
+This would be a contractor position for 2012, starting as soon as you're
+ready, with the possibility of 2013 and beyond.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Any candidate must:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Have extensive experience in C, and several other programming
+ languages. At least 5 years experience with C is probably necessary
+ for the level of expertise we want; most people would need more.</li>
+<li>Have a solid understanding of issues surrounding secure C programming.</li>
+<li>Be comfortable working from home (or wherever your preferred
+ Internet connection is).</li>
+<li>Be familiar and experienced with nonblocking, event-driven networking
+ programs.</li>
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with interacting with users online.</li>
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with driving the entire lifecycle
+ of a new feature in an existing piece of software, from design to
+ implementation to testing.</li>
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced getting code and design reviewed,
+ and reviewing the code and design of others.</li>
+<li>Be comfortable with transparency: as a non-profit, everything we do
+ is in public, including your name and pay rate.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+An ideal candidate would also:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Know enough of the basics of cryptography in order to understand
+ how to implement our protocols and discuss changes to them. (Actually
+ implementing block ciphers and stuff like that isn't necessary.)</li>
+<li>Know enough about networking in order to understand how to implement
+ our protocols and discuss changes to them.</li>
+<li>Have experience with high-performance networking code.</li>
+<li>Have experience with open-source software development, including
+ working with distributed teams across different time-zones containing
+ employees and volunteers of differing skill levels over email and IRC.</li>
+<li>Have basic familiarity with distributed version control systems.</li>
+<li>Have contributed significant chunks of code to multiple
+ open-source projects in the past.</li>
+<li>Genuinely be excited about Tor and our values.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Your job would be to work on all aspects of the main Tor network
+daemon and other open-source software. 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. You'll need to be comfortable in this environment! We coordinate
+ via IRC, email, and bug trackers.</li>
+<li>Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have the right
+ experience.</li>
+<li>We only write free (open source) software, and we don't believe in
+ software patents.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+How to apply:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Link to a sample of code you've written in the past that you're
+ allowed to show us.</li>
+<li>Provide a CV explaining your background, experience, skills, and
+ other relevant qualifications.</li>
+<li>List some people who can tell us more about you: these references
+ could be employers or coworkers, open source projects, etc.</li>
+<li>Email the above to jobs at torproject.org.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+About the company:<br>
+ The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to research,
+ development, and education about online anonymity and privacy. The Tor
+ network's 3000 volunteer relays carry 14 Gbps for upwards of half a million
+ daily users, including ordinary citizens who want protection from identity
+ theft and prying corporations, corporations who want to look at a
+ competitor's website in private, people around the world whose Internet
+ connections are censored, and even governments and law enforcement. Tor has
+ a staff of 13 paid developers, researchers, and advocates, plus many dozen
+ volunteers who help out on a daily basis. Tor is funded in part by
+ government research and development grants, and in part by individual and
+ corporate donations.
