Dear community,
Greetings and happy 2023! Sharing a few open positions at eQualitie, a
wonderful org that works for digital freedom via a combination of
technical services, infrastructure, educational trainings and hackathons
in censorship-prone countries around the world:
*1. **Regional Ambassadors for Deflect + CENO Browser
<https://equalit.ie/job-post/regional-ambassadors-for-ceno-deflect/>**:*
We are looking for informed and motivated individuals to promote our
tools and services to local media, civil society, democratic movements
and activist organizations. You will help us define and lead outreach
strategies in your country/ies of focus, offer onboarding support and
help users coordinate with our helpdesks. In turn, you will receive
training on the given tools and services. We are looking for regional
ambassadors from the 2023 priority list (see bottom of this email).
*2. **CENO Chrome Extension Developer
<https://equalit.ie/job-post/chrome-extension-developer-for-the-dweb/>**: *
eQualit.ie is seeking an experienced developer for the decentralized web
who is motivated by FOSS solutions for defending freedom of expression
and association online. The short contract is to create a Chrome
extension that will replicate the functionality of *CENO Browser*
<https://censorship.no> on desktop environments. CENO (short for
Censorship.no!) is a tool designed to circumvent the most repressive
forms of Internet censorship and provide content distribution continuity
during network shutdowns. Built on Mozilla for Android, CENO Browser
utilizes the *Ouinet library <https://ouinet.work>* (also built by the
eQualitie team) to retrieve and then share web content peer-to-peer over
BitTorrent’s DHT.
Your responsibilities would include:
* Research and development of a prototype Chrome extension for Ouinet,
the peer-to-peer library powering CENO Browser;
* Technical feasibility analysis and project roadmapping for future
stable release;
* Documenting work toward long-term maintenance and reproducibility.
*3. **iOS Developer for OuiSync + Briar:
<https://equalit.ie/job-post/ios-developer-for-the-decentralized-web/>***
Working within a tight-knit team on OuiSync <https://ouisync.net/>,
Briar <https://briarproject.org/> and [potentially] CENO Browser
<https://censorship.no/>, your responsibilities would include
identifying, prototyping and documenting methods for an iOS app to
achieve the following goals:
* Discover and connect to nearby peers (iOS and Android) without
needing internet access (e.g. Bluetooth, local multicast);
* Investigate use of mDNS and DNS-SD on iOS and its interoperability
with Android;
* Investigate options for the app to run in the background under
various networking conditions;
* Sharing application data as files with other iOS applications.
Please share with your networks and feel free to email me privately if
you have any questions. eQ is a remote-first organization. Please apply
via the links above.
Warmly,
Jenny Ryan
CENO / OuiSync Project Manager, eQualitie
