  h1. Open Positions

  h2. Lead Python Developer
  
  We are hiring a lead python developer to spearhead the creation of the LEAP desktop application. The desktop application is the client-side component of a larger system to provide end-to-end client-side encryption over many different protocols (like email and chat). We are looking for someone who can take a leading role in overall design and architecture of the client, provide direction for development, work collaboratively with a small team of hackers, assure clean code, and shepherd timely development.

  This position presents some unique challenges! The team is globally distributed and comprised of independent people who generally prefer collective and non-hierarchical systems. Ideally we would find someone who is excited about thinking creatively and non-traditionally about a lead role.

  The bullet points:

  * burning desire to secure communications from prying eyes and algorithms
  * many years of experience with python
  * experience with architecture of large applications
  * love of clean code
  * ability to take on a leadership role
  * enthusiasm for working collaboratively
  * good testing practices
  * experience with cross-platform development
  * ability to understand and work with complex distributed systems
  * self-motivated and able to effectively work remotely
  * clear understanding of public key cryptography and experience using cryptographic libraries

  Compensation rates are high for US non-profits and low for the US tech industry.
