[Jenny Ryan]

Greetings community!

eQualitie is seeking an experienced Android mobile developer, motivated

digital domain, to work within a tight-knit team on Ceno Browser. Ceno 
(short for Censorship.no!) is a tool designed to circumvent the most 
repressive forms of Internet censorship. Built on Mozilla’s Android 
Components, Ceno Browser <https://censorship.no> utilizes the Ouinet 
<https://ouinet.work> library (also built by the eQualitie team) to 
share web content peer-to-peer over BitTorrent’s DHT.
