Description

Developer role:

This is a remote, contract position.

We are looking for a talented and autonomous developer to join our open-source initiative. You should be driven by a desire to improve the privacy and security of mobile technology. The perfect fit for this role will have a background in Android-based operating systems, Linux kernel development and security hardening, memory allocators, or a deep track record in creating Android applications. In this capacity, you will be central to the evolution and upkeep of our current projects, with a requirement for a minimum of 80 hours of work each month. This position demands a great deal of self-management and the capability to handle your own responsibilities independently.

Duties

You will be tasked with overseeing a particular domain of the project, which could include the kernel, memory allocator, bespoke OS functionalities, or applications such as Vanadium, Auditor, Camera, or PDF Viewer. Your efforts will be dedicated to their enhancement, adapting them for new Android releases, vetting submitted code, and more. You are expected to follow our established development protocols, which you can find here. You will also work alongside the rest of the team to resolve defects, security flaws, and performance bottlenecks.

Requirements

You must have previous experience with at least one of the following: Android/AOSP-based operating systems, the Linux kernel and its security hardening, memory allocators, or Android app development. You need strong command of relevant programming languages (most common to least common: Java, Kotlin, C++, C, Rust, JavaScript, TypeScript, arm64 assembly, Bash, Python). Your expertise must be sufficient for you to confidently direct your own work and submit completed features and bug fixes that are ready for peer review. A dedication to privacy and security is essential, and prior involvement with free and open-source software is highly valued.

Time Obligation

You must be able to dedicate a minimum of 80 hours per month, though we offer complete flexibility in how you schedule your time. Be aware that a substantial amount of work is required to port GrapheneOS to each new Android version as it is released. The ability to concentrate and/or increase your work hours during these critical periods is a significant asset.

Compensation

Your pay will be determined by your level of experience and will be competitive with industry norms. This is an independent contractor engagement.
