       Ask HN: Who is hiring for open-source projects?
        
       Though would be also great to have a thread about open source
       positions available. What do you think?  Same structure as Ask HN:
       Who is hiring https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25632982 thread
       but please post only jobs that directly involve working on open-
       source project.  Please also include project repo link.
       (github/bitbucket/etc.)

       | product:

       | I know that sounds a bit vague but I guess if there is someone
       | out there who knows a thing or 2 about Rails / Vue.js and wants
       | to contribute to an open source project they can have a quick
       | poke around the open issues and make a suggestion to me about
       | what they would like to work on.

       | Sounds great, I'll start:
       | 
       | We're building Klaro (https://github.com/kiprotect/klaro), a tool
       | that helps website owners respect and protect the privacy of
       | their users. Right now you could mostly describe it as a consent
       | management platform but we have much bigger plans and we think
       | there's a way to operate websites with modern tools and services
       | without selling out your visitors / users, and that's the vision
       | we want to fulfill with Klaro.
       | 
       | We already have thousands of open-source users and also launched
       | a commercial service a few months ago, which is already growing
       | nicely. We want to hire our first open-source developer soon,
       | starting with a part-time engagement while we're increasing our
       | revenue.
       | 
       | Anyone interested should be knowledgeable in JS and React.js and
       | know a good deal about browser internals (e.g. how cookies,
       | localStorage etc. work and which security & privacy features and
       | restrictions apply).
       | 
       | The work would be fully remote and fully on open-source software
       | (we also have physical offices in Berlin though that you could
       | work from if you happen to live there). We're quite early in the
       | process of hiring someone and we don't even have a job
       | description, if you're interested to chat please just drop me an
       | e-mail to klaro@kiprotect.com. Thanks!

         | Edit: I guess kinda like a feature-bounty system.
