The Brave New Software Project seeks an experienced backend engineer to help fight censorship around the world through the Lantern censorship circumvention tool.
Lantern uses a variety of networking and protocol tricks to access the open internet in the most repressive censoring countries in the world. On the Lantern team, you will be a part of consistently deploying protocols and strategies that have never been used on the internet before. We make heavy use of Go, and experience with networking, security, and protocols are strongly encouraged. We also use Python and Rust as well as Prometheus, Redis, Docker, and SaltStack.
If you’re excited to tackle thorny social problems with software, or if you’re just an experienced engineer who thinks they might be ready to tackle a new kind of challenge, we want to hear from you.
