The Electronic Frontier Foundation - San Francisco - Full time - Multiple positions Come and help us fight for an Internet free of surveillance and censorship. The EFF's tech team is expanding, and we're looking to hire strong frontend and backend engineers and sysadmins. You'll be join a community of passionate people who are excited to be working on issues that we think are of paramount importance to the future of technology. EFF's technology team implements EFF's activism campaigns, builds exciting new activism tools and creates new technologies to protect the Internet as a whole. Here's a small sample of projects we've worked on in the last year: - Worked with over 100 volunteer developers to crowdsource and populate contact-congress, an open dataset describing the contact forms of members of congress. - Created and open-sourced congress-forms: a delivery mechanism for sending emails to congress based on the contact-congress dataset. - Created a new (and soon-to-be open source) activism platform that’s currently live at act.eff.org. - Built the sites Surveillance Self-Defense, DearFCC.org, The Day We Fight Back, Trolling Effects, Tor Challenge and countless others, which were visited by over 2 million people in 2014. - Launched a preview version of our OpenWireless open source router firmware. We're currently hiring a frontend designer/developer, a backend developer, and a technology generalist. The latter two jobs are listed on this page: https://www.eff.org/about/opportunities/jobs But we’re also always open to hire exceptional candidates too.
