Freedom of the Press Foundation <a href="https://freedom.press" > -- DevOps Engineer
Full-time, Bay Area local preferred but remote possible for exceptional candidates.
We develop SecureDrop, an open source whistleblower submission system. SecureDrop is currently used in over 15 major newsrooms, including those of the Washington Post, the Guardian, the New Yorker, and ProPublica. [0]
One of our big challenges moving forward is scaling. For legal and security reasons, we require every organization to deploy their own SecureDrop instance on dedicated hardware. We do not offer SecureDrop "as a service". As a result, traditional scaling techniques do not apply. However, we believe that by automating the testing, development, deployment, and troubleshooting of SecureDrop systems, we can continue to support a growing base of SecureDrop installs without becoming overwhelmed. That's where you come in :)
