<p>Greetings!<br>
</p>
<p>eQualitie is seeking an experienced software developer to play a
key role on technology projects empowering freedom of expression
and association online. Our new colleague shares the company’s <a
href="https://equalit.ie/values/"><u>values</u></a> and is ready
to lead software development on a <a href="https://deflect.ca">DDoS
mitigation infrastructure</a> and contribute to tooling
underpinning a <a href="https://censorship.no">censorship
circumvention web browser</a>. In turn, you will get exposure to
and a say in the design of current and future <a
href="https://github.com/deflect-ca"><u>defensive web
technologies</u></a> and <a
href="https://github.com/censorship-no/"><u>decentralized
solutions</u></a> for avoiding Internet censorship, as well as
personal satisfaction that your contributions create real change
for people around the world. This is a relatively fast-paced
environment with a strong sense of individual contribution and
close-knit project teams.</p>
<p><strong>Job Description</strong></p>
<p>You will work on existing software code across project teams and
lead the development and release of new software systems, working
with other developers, devops and systems operation staff. Your
primary responsibilities will include building and upgrading tools
to improve attack mitigation and network service availability,
performance, and Internet censorship resilience. You will
introduce and adhere to common development processes for a variety
of in-house technologies, spanning DDoS mitigation, a
clearinghouse for anomalous network behaviour and a decentralized
peer-to-peer web caching network. You will take a “document
everything” approach and publish your work as FLOSS.</p>
<p><strong>About you</strong></p>
<p>You understand the building blocks of the Internet and are
familiar with its core protocols. You value infrastructure-as-code
systems and believe in test-driven development, prototyping,
fine-tuning software configurations and performance monitoring as
the primary ways to improve an Internet- reliant product or
service. You have a depth of knowledge, experience and a passion
for Internet technologies that allow you to learn new systems
relatively quickly. Also, you should have:</p>
<ul>
<li>5+ years experience in Python development;</li>
<li>Experience in network programming (HTTP/S, UDP, DNS) and web
caching;</li>
<li>Experience with multi-platform package and release management;</li>
<li>Demonstrable experience deploying and managing technology
using Docker and/or Kubernetes;</li>
<li>Go development experience a strong asset;</li>
<li>C++ development experience an asset;</li>
<li>An active appreciation for reading and writing documentation!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Now, a little bit about us…</strong></p>
