Berkman seeks leadership in the planning, design, and implementation of 
a novel approach that aims to increase the robustness of Internet 
communication and reduce the vulnerability of websites to deliberate 
attack.  This project is a key component of a future, new, robust 
Internet and is an enabler for free and open online expression, disaster 
recovery, and load balancing in any online arena.  For this project, the 
Berkman Center is considering two possible candidate profiles: either a 
very hands-on technologist to work as a Senior Systems Architect or a 
skilled project manager to work as a Lead Platform Manager. Both 
iterations of this role are listed and we ask interested candidates to 
please apply to the one that best suits you.

is a very hands-on technical position. The candidate must have 
demonstrated expertise in complex, multi-tiered application development 
and displayed experience developing large-scale applications.  The 
Senior Systems Architect will own the roadmap for this project and must 
collaborate with project managers and technical team on features, 
requirements, and critical technical decisions. She or he will produce 
and review high-level, detailed technical designs for architecture 
enhancements and additions; review code with developers and ensure 
adherence to coding standards; write and execute test cases at various 
phases of the project. As well, she or he will be responsible for the 
progress of the project during research, pilot and implementation 
phases.  For a full description of the responsibilities, qualifications, 
and application instructions, please visit the Harvard Human Resources 
Senior Systems Architect listing

will own the roadmap for the Internet Robustness project and must 
collaborate with technical leads on features, requirements, and critical 
technical decisions. She or he will be engaged in strategic discussions 
with 3rd party software projects working in the same arena, and will be 
responsible for the progress of the project during research, pilot and 
implementation phases. This position will work closely with the entire 
project team, including Berkman Center staff and Principal Investigator, 
and will oversee the contributions of junior staff and Research 
Assistants.  A passion for Internet freedom and history of delivering 
great products are instrumental for this role. A specific focus on tools 
for network health, network proxies, routing robustness and/or network 
circumvention is helpful, but any background in managing a complex 
development project may be considered.   For a full description of the
