As a key member of the Citizen Lab Development team, the Software  
Engineer will be programming and testing the software for a new  
Citizen Lab project, called the CiviSec Project. The aim of the  
CiviSec Project is to help individuals at risk (e.g., human rights  
activists) or those who live in countries where electronic  
communications are censored and monitored, to communicate securely,  
privately, and anonymously. The position requires a person with prior  
experience in software development projects, including the management  
of a programming team, as well as a strong commitment to human  
rights, such as access to information and freedom of speech. As the

confidentiality is very important.

The Software Engineer will be responsible for the day-to-day  
management and ultimate delivery of varied software development  
projects at the Citizen Lab. As the successful candidate, you'll work  
with the Citizen Lab Management Team to determine requirements, keep  
the development effort organized and on track, and manage developers  
under your control. This position requires both organizational  
capabilities and programming skill.

The Citizen Lab is an interdisciplinary research and development lab  
based at the Munk Centre for International Studies at the University  
of Toronto. The Citizen Lab’s present research focuses on Internet  
censorship and surveillance worldwide, and entails partnerships with  
human rights activists and organizations around the world.
