Open Positions
==========================================

Android Developer
———————————————————————

We are hiring a programmer for ongoing Android development, including
porting the LEAP Client to Android and writing a client-encrypted sync
adapter that integrates with the LEAP data storage. Many of the key
components on which the client will depend have already been ported to
Android, such as openvpn, sqlcipher, and u1db. Like its desktop
counterpart, the goal with the Android client is to have a minimal UI
that auto-configures itself with the service provider. We will only
support Android 4.0 and above (earlier releases don’t have VpnService API).

What we are looking for, via a list of many bullets:

  • Experience with Android application development
  • Familiarity with public key cryptography and (ideally) experience with
    BouncyCastle
  • Enthusiasm for working collaboratively
  • Good testing practices
  • Burning desire to secure communications from prying eyes and snooping
    algorithms
  • Uncontrolled obsession with free and open source software

Compensation rates are high for US non-profits and low for the US tech
industry. This could be a full-time or part-time position, as desired.
