Lead Python Developer + + !>/img/pages/python-logo.png! + + We are hiring a lead Python programmer to shepherd the development of the LEAP Client. The LEAP Client is a desktop application that connects to a larger cloud-based system to provide end-to-end client-side encryption over many different protocols (like email and chat). The app is mostly headless, speaking to the servers via a client-encrypted sync to distributed databases and to local clients via traditional protocols like IMAP, SMTP, and XMPP. We are looking for someone who can take a leading role in overall design of the client (and related protocols), provide direction for development, work collaboratively with a small team of hackers, and assure clean code. + + <!-- This position presents some unique challenges!

Android Developer + + !>/img/pages/android-logo.jpg! + + We are hiring a programmer for ongoing Android development, including porting the LEAP Client to Android and writing a client-encrypted sync provider that integrates with the LEAP data storage. Many of the key components on which the client will depend have already been ported to Android, such as openvpn, sqlcipher, and u1db. Like its desktop counterpart, the goal with the Android client is to have a minimal UI that auto-configures itself with the service provider. We will only support Android 4.0 and above (earlier releases don't have "VpnService":http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/VpnService.html API). + + What we are looking for, via a list of many bullets: + + * Experience with Android application development + * Familiarity with public key cryptography and (ideally) experience with BouncyCastle + * Enthusiasm for working collaboratively + * Good testing practices + * Burning desire to secure communications from prying eyes and snooping algorithms + * Uncontrolled obsession with free and open source software + + Compensation rates are high for US non-profits and low for the US tech industry.
