Please note for this role we are only recruiting within the UTC-5 to UTC+7 timezones.
We are looking for a Technical Writer to create in-depth guides about privacy, information security and VPN use. We prefer quality over quantity, and aim for providing real value to our technical audience as opposed to churning out surface level, keyword stuffed content marketing posts.

We offer flexibility, autonomy and just as much guidance as you need to succeed in this position.
This is a remote, part-time (20 hours per week) position with a possibility of switch to full-time depending on the progress of projects and your goals.

Research and write articles and guides for technically proficient audiences on privacy and security topics, including, but not limited to:
-- Threat modelling and advanced privacy threats
-- ISP surveillance capabilities
-- Practical anonymity and low latency networks
-- VPN related technical concepts and issues
-- Self-sovereignty and self-hosting

Ha! Author here - no LLM was used. It was an attempt to summarise the content and the key message, but it took some time to jam pack everything into two sentences.
