February 15th, 2024</p>
<p>The Tor Project, Inc., a 501©(3) nonprofit organization advancing human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, is seeking experienced Rust developers to be a part of the Network Team.</p>
<p>As a developer on the Network Team, you will be part of a small team that develops and maintains the networking software at the core of the Tor network, keeping it secure and improving it for the future. Over the past decade, we’ve been developing the Tor implementation in C, but the team is now migrating to Rust as part of our Arti project.</p>
<p>We are currently in the phase of preparing the release of Arti for client usage in 2024 — this means our wider product portfolio, including the Tor Browser, will be moving to Arti as its Tor client implementation. Once client support has stabilized, the team will move towards implementing relay support in Arti such that we can begin the upgrade of the Tor network.</p>
<p>The team coordinates both synchronously and asynchronously via <span class="caps">IRC</span>, email, bug trackers, and some weekly audio/video meetings. A personal commitment to free and open source software, good communication and documentation skills, and passion for contributing to the greater good are all essential.</p>
<p>This is a full-time, remote position. Salary for this position will range from $100k to $110k <span class="caps">USD</span> (based on candidate experience) and there is voluntary opt-in salary transparency for employees and contractors. The organization is currently experimenting with a four day workweek.</p>
<p>Summary<br />
In this role, you will:</p>
<p>Help design, develop, and improve Arti, our Rust implementation of the Tor protocol.<br />
Collaborate with other Tor teams to integrate Arti in their workflows.<br />
Contribute to other free, open-source Rust projects as needed, especially to ones that Arti depends on.<br />
Required Technical Skills and Experience<br />
Familiarity with the Rust programming language, and with system design in Rust.<br />
Strong remote work and time management skills.<br />
Good communication and documentation skills.<br />
Enthusiasm for teaching and learning within a distributed team.<br />
Preferred Qualifications<br />
These are good to have, but not necessarily required.</p>
<p>Familiarity with <span class="caps">FOSS</span> engineering practices.<br />
Experience doing code review of your coworkers’ incoming code changes.<br />
Experience with async/await programming in Rust.<br />
Experience with portable, cross-platform coding. We work on Unix, macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android, and we’re hoping to eventually expand to <span class="caps">WASM</span>.<br />
Experience with developing large software projects, keeping them maintainable and flexible over time.<br />
Experience with <span class="caps">API</span> design and documentation.<br />
Familiarity with privacy, network programming, distributed systems, security, and cryptography.<br />
Familiarity with C for reading reference C implementation of Tor’s source code.<br />
Experience with reading and writing technical specifications.<br />
Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have the right experience!</p>
<p>If you feel that you meet most of these requirements or could meet them with a little support, we would love to hear from you.</p>

<p>The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for a software engineer to join the Trust and Safety Product team. As a software engineer, you will be responsible for building features to keep our communities safe from abuse, harassment, vandalism, and harmful or illicit content. In this role, you will work in a fully-remote, geographically-distributed environment, where we value teamwork and a consensus-oriented approach. You will be writing open source code for collaborative experiences supporting over a billion users at a place that believes we’re all more successful when everyone has a good work-life balance.</p>
<p>The Trust and Safety Product team is an interdisciplinary product team developing technology that helps counteract efforts to harm civil discourse on our platforms, the integrity of the content, or other users of our projects. We are seeking a software engineer to join us in this effort to protect our users and our projects.</p>
<p>Currently, we are working on a broad set of tools related to user privacy and protection. You can see more details in our backlog. Your daily work will include contributing new patches or pull requests for existing features, estimating new work, participating in code reviews, collaborating with a designer, or helping a volunteer engineer get their code shaped up. Because of the sensitive nature of the tools we build, we interact with database administrators, security engineers, and our legal team on a regular basis. Our work goes beyond regular product development into topics such as privacy, security, abuse mitigation, content moderation and legal compliance.</p>
<p>The team is fully staffed with a Product Manager, Engineering Manager, Product Designer, Research Analyst, Data Analyst, Community Liaison, Test Engineers, and several Software Engineers, of course.</p>
<p>You will be working on, and improving, a codebase that has evolved over two decades. Much of our framework code was developed in-house, so you’ll need to be comfortable learning through research, reviewing patches, and reading documentation. <span class="caps">PHP</span> and JavaScript make up most of our code. Developers at the Foundation have autonomy and responsibility, and can have a large and immediate impact on the future of the site and the movement. </p>
<p>Our world is vast and can be complicated, so we consider communication, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn as important as certificates or degrees.</p>
<p>You are responsible for:</p>
<p>Developing, testing, and deploying new features, improvements and upgrades to various systems and tools used by administrators and staff.<br />
Writing multilingual, accessible, and performant user interfaces using <span class="caps">PHP</span>, JavaScript, VueJS, and <span class="caps">CSS</span>.<br />
Documenting your contributions to our codebase in our technical documentation and our features’ documentation.<br />
Contributing to projects that require handling sensitive data and private information, complying with privacy and security regulations.<br />
Providing support in abuse investigations on our platform, helping identify sources and causes of incidents, and proposing ideas to mitigate their impact.<br />
Developing expertise in the Trust and Safety area, which includes, security, privacy, abuse mitigation, content moderation and legal compliance.<br />
Extending the capabilities of the MediaWiki stack to serve diverse community needs by incorporating possibilities that are offered by new tooling or technical advances.<br />
Working across teams to proactively reduce technical debt by refactoring code, updating testing frameworks, and reviewing code from other engineers.<br />
Skills and Experience:</p>
<p>3+ years of related professional or volunteering experience in software engineering roles, including frontend and backend development, with an emphasis on backend.<br />
Experience with Object-Oriented development using a scripting language (such as <span class="caps">PHP</span>, Python, Ruby, or JavaScript). Most of our work is in <span class="caps">PHP</span> and JavaScript.<br />
Experience converting design mockups into functional components, incorporating performance and accessibility into the features using well-documented and readable code.<br />
Focused software engineering: writing unit and integration tests, proactively addressing security and code review feedback, and thoughtfully balancing tradeoffs.<br />
Strong written communication skills as our collaboration largely happens online, on chats, wikis, documents and tickets.<br />
Qualities that are important to us:</p>
<p>The desire to make meaningful contributions to knowledge equity, free culture, and open access.<br />
An emphasis on communicating clearly in both synchronous and asynchronous channels.<br />
The willingness to participate in technical discussions, proposing solutions to technical challenges, participating in code reviews and receiving feedback.<br />
An eagerness and curiosity to solve technical problems, trying things out and investigating issues, and supporting the work of others.<br />
The skill to effectively work with documentation, writing clearly and concisely, and navigating existing documentation in search for answers.<br />
A sensitivity for the problems we are solving, empathy for our users, and the tact to handle the content and information we process.<br />
Additionally, we’d love it if you have:</p>
<p>Experience with MediaWiki development or as a contributor to Wikimedia projects.<br />
Experience with legacy codebases and/or experience in free/open source software development experience.<br />
Experience with online community moderation, vandalism prevention and other Trust and Safety concepts and practices<br />
