We're hiring!

Wikimedia is a global community of editors, readers, and developers, all working together to make the sum of human knowledge available to the world, for free. In only ten years, Wikimedia has become the most important collaboration of knowledge sharing in human history.

The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that supports the Wikimedia projects, is helping transform the way the world learns. We are looking for creative and motivated people who want to work in a highly-collaborative environment, people who are mission-driven and committed to making knowledge free. With a relatively small employee base, there is a huge impact per hire, and with a vast and unique community, each employee has the opportunity to interact with the passionate thought leaders helping to shape the movement.

We are committed to building talented and highly motivated teams, with individuals who work well in a fast-paced environment. If you'd like to be part of a growing and successful non-profit organization that’s making a difference everywhere around the world, this may be the place for you. If you believe in making education and knowledge free, and you love what you do and want to bring your skills and experience to our organization, check out the current openings below. If you don't see a good fit now, send us an e-mail anyway, include your work experience, and explain your interest in the Wikimedia Foundation. If you'd like to keep up to date as new positions are posted, you can subscribe to our foundation-l discussion mailing list (high e-mail traffic), follow our micro-blogging feed (on Twitter or on Identi.ca), or add this page to an RSS reader of your choice using its page history feed.

If you are an editor on any of the Wikimedia projects, or you help Wikimedia in some other way, please explicitly say that in your cover letter, and please include your username. Wikimedia experience is a definite plus when you're applying for a job with us.

Wikimedia Community Fellowships

Wikimedia Fellows spearhead community projects, undertake research, and focus on other time-limited activities that require financial and logistical support to help scale and increase sustainability of the work of volunteers in the Wikimedia movement. Submissions for Spring 2012 fellowships are encouraged to focus on the theme of improving editor retention and increasing participation in Wikimedia Projects.
