+<h1>The Tor Project is looking for support assistants and translators!</h1>
+

+Your job is to handle support requests via our ticketing system and our
+new Q&A website, as well as make sure translations for software and
+documentation are up to date. This is a part-time contractor position
+starting in Q4 2012 and renewing quarterly.
+</p>
+
+<p>We are looking for candidates who are fluent in one of Arabic,
+French, Mandarin, Burmese, Vietnamese, Spanish, and English. All must be
+fluent in English.</p>

+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with interacting with users and
+developers online.</li>
+
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with translating technical
+documentation or explaining technical issues to users.</li>
+
+<li>Be comfortable working remotely.</li>
+
+<li>Be comfortable with transparency: as a non-profit, everything we do
+is in public, including your name (or at least your business name) and
+pay rate.</li>
+

+<p>
+An ideal candidate would also:

+mediums, including email, instant messaging, and IRC.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Other notes:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li>Tor developers don't have an office; you can work from
+	wherever you want, in basically any country. 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>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+How to apply:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+    <li>Tell us about 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, specifying the
+	"Support assistants/translators" position.</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 16 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 14 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.
