The Tor Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, is seeking a User Research Coordinator with 4-7 years of related work experience to be a part of the User Experience & Design (UX) Team.

Are you passionate about making software usable and fun for all types of people? Do you want to coordinate user research for software that helps people protect their privacy and freedom online? If so, this may be the job for you.

This position will be an integral part of a small, "full stack" design team, encompassing the disciplines of UX, brand design, and ethical user research.

The team coordinates via IRC, email, GitLab, on audio/video calls, and in-person meetings once per year. In addition, this position will also require international travel at multiple points throughout the year.

A personal commitment to free and open source software, good communication and documentation skills, and passion for contributing to the greater good are all essential. At the Tor Project, we reject invasive data gathering practices and adhere to the principles of consent, respect, and empathy.

This is a full-time, remote position, which could be performed from most places in the world – please see below for the US sanctions & embargo disclaimer. The organization is also currently experimenting with a four day workweek.

The salary for this position ranges from $70,000 - $80,000 USD (based on candidate experience), and there is voluntary opt-in salary transparency for employees and contractors.
