Open Whisper Systems • San Francisco • Full Time • ONSITE

Open Whisper Systems is making private communication simple. Our technology is used by hundreds of millions of people, and everything we produce is open source. What it's like to work with us: https://whispersystems.org/workworkwork/

• iOS Developer -- Someone intimately familiar with iOS development and internals, who has an appreciation for the craft of software development and experience with making decisions that result in great products. No experience with cryptography necessary, just solid experience developing for iOS and an eye for good design.

• Android Developer -- Is the pleasure center of your brain directly wired to the experience of a slick UX or a nice animation? Do you hunt down memory leaks and StrictMode violations for fun? We're looking for someone with deep knowledge of the Android framework and an equally strong intuition for pairing beautiful app experiences with beautiful code. You'll be the architect of major features, making your code available to the world. You don't need to be a security expert; it's knowing how to make complicated systems simple to use that's at the heart of what we do.

I'm not affiliated with this company at all, but I think it's worth pointing out that Open Whisper Systems is the nonprofit responsible for Signal, the "Snowden-approved crypto app."[1] No idea what it'd be like to work there, but they're solving important modern problems regarding privacy online and it's only kind of alluded to in the listing itself. Could be really cool.

I'm an Android developer and I'd love to work here, but I'm not an American citizen and I feel like sponsorship would be difficult, considering it's not a business. But I love what you guys are doing :).
