+
+# Senior Software Engineer, Tooling, The ASF
+
+$100,000 to $130,000 - Contract
+
+This is your chance to work on security-focused tooling, mostly written in
+Python, at a public benefit open source software foundation.
+
+- For this position applicants residing in the EU, EFTA, & UK are preferred.
+- There is no expectation of travel outside of the EU, EFTA, & UK.
+- You will work with the ASF as an independent contractor.
+
+## Why this role?
+
+You will be paid to contribute to the ASF, a foundation dedicated to open
source
+software (OSS). The software you write will enhance practices at the ASF,
+especially those related to security. You will be helping the ASF's hundreds of
+members and thousands of contributors to release some of the world's most
+recognisable software. For further details about the ASF see below, or explore
+our website.
+
+In addition to this core proposition, you will be able to:
+
+- Set your own schedule and work almost exclusively from home.
+- Use Python, a widely loved programming language.
+- Work in a small team, collaborating with dedicated colleagues.
+- See much of your code released under the Apache License 2.0.
+
+## Is this you?
+
+You must have documented experience as a Senior or Principal Software Engineer
+with full-stack async Python including type annotations. You must have strong
+experience with CI/CD, Git, OCI containers and runtimes, SQLite, and
+supply-chain security. You must have your own OSS track record, and fluent
+written and spoken English.
+
+Although this is a senior role, we recognise that recruiting only from existing
+senior positions is not a sustainable industry practice. We will therefore
+consider experienced engineers from other positions with an exceptional record
+who are ready for the next step. If this applies to you, please include a
+statement explaining why you should be considered for a senior role.
+
+## Bonus experience
+
+In addition to the mandatory experience criteria above, we prioritise
applicants
+who have experience in several of the following domains:
+
+- Authentication (OAuth, OIDC, SAML, FIDO2, WebAuthn)
+- Code signing (OpenPGP, Sigstore, in-toto, DSSE, JWKS)
+- Declarative infrastructure (Puppet, NixOS, Terraform)
+- Lightweight reactive UX (Alpine.js, htmx, Datastar, Svelte, Lit)
+- Modern Python development (Hypothesis, Pyright, pytest, uv)
+- Release processes (GitHub Actions, Zizmor, PEP 740)
+- Supply chain security (CycloneDX, SPDX)
+
+Overall, we are looking for engineers who specifically want to work with the
+ASF, who share our passion for OSS, and who understand our policies, mission,
+and goals for the near future.
+
+## Location, hours, and eligibility
+
+This role is open to permanent residents of the EU, EFTA, and UK. (The EFTA
+nations are Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.) There is no visa
+sponsorship, and you must already have the legal right to work where you live.
+There will be no expectation of travel outside of the EU, EFTA, and UK. To
+facilitate collaboration with colleagues across the Atlantic, your core working
+hours must overlap with 15:00 to 23:00 CET/CEST, Monday to Friday.
+
+Permanent residents of other nations may be considered.
+
+This position is for an independent contractor. You will not be employed by the
+ASF. Contracts will be set at a fixed agreed USD amount, and paid in USD
+monthly. You will be responsible for your own taxes and benefits, and will need
+to provide your own equipment, internet access, workspace, etc.
+
+The ASF performs background checks on all new hires. Acceptance of this
position
+requires consenting to this check, which is initiated when you are offered a
+contract, not before or during interviewing.
+
+## Your day-to-day
+
+Your team will consist of one other Senior Software Engineer, and reports to
the
+ASF Vice President, Tooling - an experienced contributor who will be your
+manager and mentor. You will communicate through Slack, including voice
+meetings, and email. Outside of your team your closest colleagues will be those
+in ASF Infrastructure, with whom you will build a good working rapport and
+collaborate often. The majority of your time will be spent listening to the
+needs of your many users, writing code, managing server processes through
Puppet
+and Docker, and upstreaming fixes.
+
+Your specific projects will vary, but will serve the needs of three primary
user
+groups: the Foundation Board, Secretary, Treasurer, and their assistants; the
+Infrastructure team; and the Top Level Projects of the foundation. Current
focus
+for these groups includes a secure trusted software release publishing
platform;
+securing MFA for the whole foundation; a workbench for the Foundation
Secretary;
+assessment of compliance to the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA); and security
+hardening of existing infrastructure.
+
+## About the ASF
+
+The ASF exists to provide software for the public good. We believe in the power
+of community over code, known as The Apache Way. Thousands of people around the
+world contribute to ASF open source projects every day.
+
+The ASF manages a network of open source software which includes more than 2200
+software code repositories, a global software distribution and mirroring
system,
+change management, issue tracking, and software support for 300+ open source
+initiatives and more than 10,000 contributors around the world.
+
+The ASF is a U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organization funded by individual
+donations and corporate sponsors, and is run almost exclusively by volunteers
+who provide support for hundreds of projects. Since 1999, we have provided a
+framework for intellectual property and financial contributions that enables
+people around the world to collaborate and deliver freely available software,
+and millions of end-users to benefit from that software.

+competencies match our stated criteria. Please take special care not to omit
