My name is Ethan Paul and I am writing to apply for the Newsroom Support Engineer position
at the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF). In my nine years of professional experience I
have worked in a wide variety of positions including as a Tier I support technician for a
legacy institution that supported thousands of clients, and a systems architect and
administrator for a small startup company. Through my entire career what I have enjoyed most
from my work are the opportunities to meet people, understand their technical challenges,
and work to build and deliver solutions that help them to be more successful in their jobs.
While I enjoy solving technical problems, it is the relationship between technology and
people that has always been of greatest interest to me.
\\\\
Developing this relationship is the work that the FPF provides through the maintenance and
support of projects like SecureDrop, which demonstrates an ideal model of a distributed open
source software platform. The relationship between people and technology is so
often a complicated one that grows more so as systems become ever more sophisticated and
stratified. As a result of this sophistication, taking advantage of technological
benefits becomes increasingly difficult as the level of expertise required to work within a
system also increases. This makes the work of specialist groups all the more important:
organizations like the FPF provide the essential service of helping people better participate
in our rapidly digitizing world. The FPF and similar organizations also stand in stark
contrast to companies that ostensibly provide the same service, but only for their own
benefit rather than that of their clients, customers, and community. The commitment to
providing enhanced access to technological resources for the principle benefit of its clients
and community is what appeals most to me about applying to join the team at FPF.
\\\\
One of the most interesting and fulfilling projects I have had the opportunity to work on
during my time in the technology sector was the implementation and support of a network
monitoring system for my company's wireless network infrastructure. This project allowed me
to work with and learn from experts in different fields as I coordinated the system's design
across several engineering departments while continually working with the Network
Operations teams to understand how they needed the system to function in daily use. While the
technical work for the project was interesting, by far the most engaging part of the process
was understanding the needs and limitations of the people using the system so that I could
work to improve its utility. This exposure to other teams and specialties helped me to develop
a better understanding of the business, a plethora of diverse relationships, and gave me more
opportunities to expand my technical knowledge.
\\\\
At this point in my career I am interested in the impact my work has on my community and
environment which is why I have chosen to branch out of the traditional technology sector.
I value contributing positively to my organization's culture and clients, but doing so
while also working to fight inequity and improve free access to information is a dream
opportunity for me. I have admired the FPF's work from a far for long enough that the
prospect of applying to work here seems almost surreal. And yet the Newsroom Support
Engineer role combines two elements that are very important to me: developing people's
relationship with their technology, and promoting digital freedom for people everywhere. For
all these reasons I hope you will consider me for the position and I look forward to hearing
from you soon.

\letterbody{
My name is Ethan Paul and I am interested in working in a position on the Infrastructure
Team at the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF). In my eleven years of professional
experience I have worked in a wide variety of positions including as a Tier I support
technician for a legacy institution that supported thousands of clients, a systems
architect and administrator for an internet service provider, and a single-member IT team
for a small startup company. Throughout my career what I have enjoyed most from my work

build and deliver solutions that help them to be more successful in their jobs. While I
enjoy solving technical problems, it is the relationship between technology and people
that has always been of greatest interest to me.
\\\\
Projects like SecureDrop and the Press Freedom Tracker exist at this intersection where
technology and people collide. This intersection- ideally beneficial but too often
confounding or exploitative- is already quite difficult to navigate for many people and, as
technology continues to evolve, will only demand ever higher amounts of technical knowledge
to properly manage. This makes the work of specialist groups all the more important:
organizations like the FPF provide the essential service of helping people better
participate in our continually digitizing world by making technology and technical resources
more accessible and navigable. The FPF and similar organizations also stand in stark
contrast to companies that ostensibly provide the same service, but only for their own
benefit rather than that of their clients, customers, and community. The commitment to
providing enhanced access to technological resources for the principal benefit of its
clients and community is what appeals most to me about joining the team at FPF.

better understanding of the business, build a plethora of diverse relationships, and gave me
more opportunities to expand my technical knowledge than I ever would have found working
alone.
\\\\
After eight years in the technology sector I am fortunate enough to have the flexibility to
shift my career path away from technology for technology's sake and towards technology for
the sake of people. Working in an environment where I can make contributions to complex
technical systems, learn from experts in a diverse set of fields, and have the
confidence that my work helps to fight inequality and improve free access to information is
a dream opportunity. I have admired the FPF's work from afar for long enough that the
prospect of working with the FPF feels almost surreal. And yet the Infrastructure Team
combines two elements that are very important to me: improving people's relationship with
their technology and promoting digital freedom for people everywhere. For all these reasons
I hope you will consider me for a position and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
