If you're into working with humans, free software & cryptography, and you love the idea of helping news organizations break their biggest stories based on submissions by whistleblowers, you may want to come work with me! New opening at Freedom of the Press Foundation just went up - boosts appreciated:

@e_jim We would consider very strong European candidates for this role. Because of the QA piece and site visits with clients, being in one of our locations is a big advantage, but not being there is not an absolute deal breaker.
No other positions are planned right now, I would guess at least another quarter before we have a different opening. That said, we are less picky about the location for non support engineering hires if/when we do have another opening there.
@eloquence Do you know if by "SF Bay Area" there a preference for SF itself, or is anywhere in the Bay Area fine?
@legoktm As long as they're comfortable making the commute to the downtown SF office 2-3 days a week, anywhere should be fine. :) Sometimes we have to do server-testing in the office, or we do site visits with orgs in the area, and some QA benefits from being there in person - that kind of thing is the reason for the preference.
@eloquence Would you accept as "complex technical project" working on the oldest mainframe computer system in the US federal government (the Individual Master File) plus its peripherals that have developed?
@eloquence I’m not going to support “news organizations” until you get your acts together on 9/11. Would be a waste of talent and money.
@eloquence "break their biggest stories based on submissions by whistleblowers" <- who have no reason to trust you
@eloquence
Any chance that you will hire someone in Europe for a similar position any time soon? Just asking for a friend...
