Do you eat P2P routing algorithms for lunch? Do you believe privacy and access to information and knowledge is a basic right? Are ridiculously hard problems your idea of fun? Are you the kind of person who could figure out to generate a string to be included in traffic, serving a dual role of allowing a way for providers to authorize service (without a database), as well as a representation of value to be later exchanged for compensation if proven valid for the service provided, whereas said string is cryptographically and independently generated client side specifically for each provider, utilizing a full chain-of-trust model? Did you smile reading that last part? Good, it's more fun when you have a sense of humor. We're working on changing the game with the backing of the world's largest VPN service. An unstoppable multi-protocol decentralized onion routing system that is going to weave privacy and access into the very fabric of the Internet. Like TOR, if TOR was embedded into everything, had a sensible economic incentive mechanism, and participants did not suffer from potential liability issues. # Scale of initial deployment Relays : 100K+ Traffic : Exabytes Users : Millions # You'll be a good fit for our team if - You're the best at whatever you do and have a low tolerance for mediocrity. - Interested in limiting the power of repressive regimes to restrict Internet access. - Proud of your significant contributions to open source software. - Passionate about freedom, online rights & decentralized systems. - Have an eye for beautiful design & code that gets more done with less. - Ability to zoom into details, or zoom out to the big picture. - Once you sink your teeth into a meaty problem you don't let go. # Things you probably already know inside out IP networking, onion routing, VPNs, API design, applied cryptography & blockchains at the protocol level.
