Wikimedia Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to the growth, development, and distribution of free, multilingual content. It provides the essential infrastructure for free knowledge, including hosting Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that is created, edited, and verified by a global community of volunteers. Supported primarily through donations, Wikimedia Foundation promotes collaborative projects that aim to share knowledge reflecting human diversity and strives to protect everyone's right to access free and open knowledge.

📋 Description

• Improving the Wikipedia product experience by fixing bugs and implementing new functionality. • Iterating on new features through collaboration with fellow engineers, product managers, designers, other teams, and community members. • Writing multilingual, accessible, and performant code using Javascript and PHP. • Building on top of the MediaWiki API ecosystem. • Instrumenting components to monitor feature behavior and quality characteristics.

🎯 Requirements

• 2–5 years related professional or open-source software engineering experience. • Experience with object-oriented development using a scripting language (such as JavaScript, PHP, Python or Ruby). • Strong written communication skills as our collaboration largely happens online, on chats, wikis, documents and tickets. • Focused software engineering: you have experience of writing unit tests, and of structuring your work with version control. • A desire to make meaningful contributions to knowledge equity, free culture, and open access. • An emphasis on communicating clearly in both synchronous and asynchronous channels. • A strong aptitude in algorithms and data structures is essential!
