[sudo-discuss] [Hiring] Python+ Software Developer for defending human rights online

[Jenny Ryan]

Hey community! Anyone looking for an ethical, fulfilling programming 
job? Reach out!

eQualitie is seeking an experienced software developer to play a key 
role on technology projects empowering freedom of expression and 
association online.  Our new colleague shares the company’s _values_ 
<https://equalit.ie/values/> and is ready to lead software development 
on a DDoS mitigation infrastructure <https://deflect.ca> and contribute 
to tooling underpinning a censorship circumvention web browser 
<https://censorship.no>. In turn, you will get exposure to and a say in 
the design of current and future _defensive web technologies_ 
<https://github.com/deflect-ca> and _decentralized solutions_ 
<https://github.com/censorship-no/> for avoiding Internet censorship, as 
well as personal satisfaction that your contributions create real change 
for people around the world. This is a relatively fast-paced environment 
with a strong sense of individual contribution and close-knit project teams.

*Job Description*

You will work on existing software code across project teams and lead 
the development and release of new software systems, working with other 
developers, devops and systems operation staff. Your primary 
responsibilities will include building and upgrading tools to improve 
attack mitigation and network service availability, performance, and 
Internet censorship resilience. You will introduce and adhere to common 
development processes for a variety of in-house technologies, spanning 
DDoS mitigation, a clearinghouse for anomalous network behaviour and a 
decentralized peer-to-peer web caching network. You will take an 
“document everything” approach and publish your work as FLOSS.

*About you*

You understand the building blocks of the Internet and are familiar with 
its core protocols. You value infrastructure-as-code systems and believe 
in test-driven development, prototyping, fine-tuning software 
configurations and performance monitoring as the primary ways to improve 
an Internet- reliant product or service. You have a depth of knowledge, 
experience and a passion for Internet technologies that allow you to 
learn new systems relatively quickly. Also, you should have:

  * 5+ years experience in Python development;
  * Experience in network programming (HTTP/S, UDP, DNS) and web caching;
  * Experience with multi-platform package and release management;
  * Demonstrable experience deploying and managing technology using
    Docker and/or Kubernetes;
  * Go development experience a strong asset;
  * C++ development experience an asset;
  * An active appreciation for reading and writing documentation!
