[liberationtech] [Job] Newsroom Support Engineer for SecureDrop

[Erik Moeller]

Hi folks,

Freedom of the Press Foundation is hiring again! We're looking for a person ideally based in North America to work with us full-time as a Newsroom Support Engineer. The job is to help news orgs who want to set up SecureDrop, to assist with troubleshooting, and to improve docs/code during times of low support activity.

SecureDrop is an open source whistleblower submission platform used by ~70 news orgs now. It has been independently audited several times. Most of the day-to-day software development work happens in Python.

This gig is open to folks from unconventional backgrounds who are looking to start in a full-time engineering role -- e.g.,  if you're already passionate about digital security & have contributed to open source, but don't have years of experience on your resume. Comp for US folks is in the $80-$100K range plus benefits (including a 401k match & health/dental/vision).

Feel free to also email me directly if you have any questions about the role or the org!

Warmly,
Erik
