Original posting
San Francisco, CA. Full time. H1B okay. Remote is a potential too.
We're the experimental features team at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that supports Wikipedia and other free knowledge projects.
We're looking for full stack engineers, ideally with a bent towards frontend work, that can help us fix the experience of editing Wikipedia. Wikipedia has ~450 million monthly unique visitors, but only about 80,000 monthly contributors, and that enormous disparity is what we're working to correct.
Rather than describe all aspects of what we're doing, here's a blog post describing one of the projects on our plate, and how it relates to our general approach:

The post also includes links to apply, and some examples of what we've done in the past.
