Do you want to help build social P2P software?

Peers become friends that you can trust and your reputation influences your download speed. Furthermore Tribler is currently one of the few systems that can do P2P streaming of video content. But we want to do more...
Right now we have a lot of new technology that we would like to include in our product: the Tribler Client. We would like to expand our development team with at least two developers.
About our project:
Tribler started as a research project into p2p technology but it quickly grew to be the largest non-profit P2P initiative in the world. Our vision is to make all P2P technology completely free, secure and decentralized. Tribler is all about distributed systems, security, video streaming, trust relationships, content discovery and peer discovery.

The Tribler project however is run by a team of about 20 people from the Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science faculty. Most of us are in the 25-35 age group.
The benefits of working for Tribler include: a great deal of academic freedom on our project. A non-profit organization that works to change the world instead of for shareholder value. All the facilities of a big research institute and all the benefits of being a university employee.
What are we looking for:
A good programmer with a bachelors or masters degree in computer science. Tribler is 99% written in python, so experience in python is a bonus. We appreciate a candidate that has experience across multiple languages and technologies.
Contract
Initially, for administrative reasons, the contracts have a duration of a single year. However, the Tribler project has secured funding for a few more years so an extention of the contract might be available at the end of the term.
