+    Internet Freedom Nonprofit Seeks Software Developer for Anti-Censorship Team
+    </h1>
+    <h2>(Posted September 24, 2018)</h2>
+
+    <p>
+    The Tor Project, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing human
+    rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source
+    anonymity and privacy technologies, is seeking an experienced Software
+    Developer to take our anti-censorship work to the next level.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    Tor is for everyone, and we are actively working to build a team that
+    represents people from all over the world — people from diverse ethnic,
+    national, and cultural backgrounds; people from all walks of life. Racial
+    minorities, non-gender-binary people, women, and people from any group that
+    is generally underrepresented in tech are encouraged to apply.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    This developer will improve the user experience process of finding
+    alternate routes to the Tor network when censorship events are blocking
+    access in their host countries. Experience with Internet security and
+    knowledge of obfuscation technologies would be a big help. Personal
+    commitment to open source and using your advanced programming skills for
+    the greater good is essential.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    This developer position will be an integral part of our brand new
+    Anti-Censorship Team. Main responsibilities for this position are:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>Devise metrics and load balancing mechanisms for our current and
+          future bridge distribution system.</li>
+      <li>Analyze our current BridgeDB design to determine how it can better
+          leverage other circumvention solutions, such as newer pluggable
+          transports (PTs).</li>
+      <li>Review our current list of PTs and decide which we should continue to
+          maintain.</li>
+      <li>Evaluate new Pluggable Transports against our criteria to determine
+          if they should be supported.</li>
+      <li>Work with other members of the anti-censorship team lead to evaluate,
+          pick and implement censorship-resistant discovery mechanisms for
+          pluggable transport addresses.</li>
+      <li>Evaluate cryptographic solutions to rate limiting bridge
+          distribution, and if any are feasible, implement them.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>Required qualifications:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>extensive experience writing and evaluating code in Python and Go</li>
+      <li>experience in designing and documenting software engineering
+          solutions to problems</li>
+      <li>self-directed</li>
+      <li>comfortable and reliable with working remotely</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>Preferred qualifications:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>development experience in Rust</li>
+      <li>understanding of the Tor pluggable transport ecosystem and the
+          censorship circumvention research space</li>
+      <li>familiarity with developing and scaling distributed systems</li>
+      <li>previous contributions to other open source projects</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>
+    Experience working with open source communities and/or a dedication to
+    Internet freedom are added pluses.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    This is a full-time position that can be done remotely/internationally or
+    in our office in Seattle, WA. To apply, send a cover letter that includes a
+    statement about why you want to work at the Tor Project, your CV/resume
+    (including three professional references), and a link to a code sample or
+    some non-trivial software project you have significantly contributed to.
+    The email should go to job-anticensor at torproject dot org with
+    “Anti-Censorship Developer” in the subject line. No phone calls please!
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    The Tor Project's workforce is smart and committed. The Tor Project
+    currently has a paid and contract staff of around 47 developers and
+    operational support staff, plus many thousands of volunteers who contribute

+    development grants, and in part by individual, foundation and corporate
+    donations.
+    </p>

+    Flexible salary, depending on experience. The Tor Project has a competitive
+    benefits package, including a generous PTO policy; 14 paid holidays per
