Volunteer Role: Quantum-Secure Messaging App Developer

Position: Volunteer Developer

Reports To: Lead Software Engineer / Project Manager

Location: Remote

Commitment: Part-time, flexible hours

Duration: Ongoing (with potential for long-term involvement)

Role Overview:

As a volunteer developer for the Quantum-Secure Messaging App, you will work on developing a cutting-edge mobile app that integrates post-quantum cryptography to ensure secure, encrypted messaging. The app will utilize peer-to-peer (P2P) communication through WebRTC, with a focus on end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and decentralized identity (DID), making it resistant to hacking by quantum computers.

This role will involve building features such as secure messaging, quantum-safe encryption algorithms (Kyber, Dilithium), and self-destructing messages, among others. You’ll be working closely with the project’s core team, contributing to research and development to ensure the app meets the highest standards of security and usability.

Key Responsibilities:

1. App Development:

Contribute to the development of the mobile app using Flutter and Dart.

Integrate WebRTC for peer-to-peer encrypted messaging.

Implement Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) libraries such as Kyber (key exchange) and Dilithium (digital signatures).

Develop End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) for secure messaging.

Ensure seamless integration of Decentralized Identity (DID) for user authentication.

2. Research & Development:

Stay up to date with the latest advancements in quantum-safe cryptography and post-quantum encryption.

Research new methods for self-destructing messages and other advanced privacy features.

Test, evaluate, and contribute to the security and scalability of the app.

3. Testing & Quality Assurance:

Conduct extensive testing to ensure the app’s security features work as intended.

Identify and fix bugs or security vulnerabilities.

Collaborate with the team to perform code reviews and improve the app’s security.

4. Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams:

Work closely with other developers, project managers, and designers to bring new features to life.

Participate in regular team meetings to provide progress updates and discuss challenges.

Assist in the development of educational materials for community outreach (e.g., blog posts, presentations, and demos).

5. Documentation:

Write and maintain detailed documentation for the app’s code, features, and security protocols.

Contribute to the FutureTech Foundation’s open-source repository and ensure all code is well-documented for community collaboration.
