Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure

The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for a staff software engineer to join the Product Department and work on various infrastructure projects. Engineers at the Wikimedia Foundation get to work on technology that truly makes a global impact — powering Wikipedia and its sister projects, which serve billions of pageviews every month across hundreds of languages. It's a rare opportunity to contribute to one of the largest knowledge-sharing platforms in the world, and to help protect free access to information for everyone, everywhere. As an infrastructure software engineer, you will work closely with people in various teams to: Build new infrastructure capabilities into MediaWiki. Profile, refactor, and optimize various parts of the infrastructure to enable the development of new tools and to empower more feature development teams. Maintain pieces of infrastructure software. Write resilient, maintainable systems and high-quality code with a focus on long-term sustainability. Implement observability to maintain high levels of quality and system stability.
