Greetings community!

eQualitie is seeking an experienced Android mobile developer, motivated to develop open source security tools for defending human rights in the digital domain, to work within a tight-knit team on Ceno Browser. Ceno (short for Censorship.no!) is a tool designed to circumvent the most repressive forms of Internet censorship. Built on Mozilla’s Android Components, Ceno Browser utilizes the Ouinet library (also built by the eQualitie team) to share web content peer-to-peer over BitTorrent’s DHT.

• Maintaining the highest level of professional security and code development practices
• Listening critically and giving viable feedback to team members, managers, and outside groups
• Documenting work toward long-term maintenance and reproducibility
• Being on time with product timelines and deliverables

You should:

• Have experience with frontend Android app development (experience with mobile web browser development a strong plus)
• Have experience in a test-driven approach to software development & version control with git
• Be reachable for at least 2 hours on working days between 9am – 5pm EST
• Have experience in network programming (HTTP, TCP/IP, UDP) and familiarity with peer-to-peer (BitTorrent) technologies

Nice to have:

• Java/Kotlin project experience
