Software Engineer III, Core Experiences
The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for two Software Engineer III’s to join the App Growth and Editing Engineering teams within the Core Experiences engineering group.
App Growth
The App Growth team has a clear and ambitious goal: make the apps the destination for knowledge lovers and grow our active readership. As a web full stack mid-career Software Engineer III supporting the Mobile Apps teams you will build features that create natural handoffs from the web to the app and landing users in exactly the right place — for example, prompting a reader to try a personalized reading list in the app, creating a game that is integrated within the apps as a webview; or when someone tries to edit there is a smooth hand off to the web editing experience.
This is not a native iOS or Android role. The role is focused on web-first product experiences, APIs, and platform integrations that can be reused across mobile web and native app surfaces; to help us scale features across platforms and create compelling features that deepen reader engagement and increase user retention.
To ensure there are enough opportunities to communicate, this role with the App Growth team needs at least four hours of your workday to occur between 14:00 UTC and 21:00 UTC.
Editing
On the Editing Team, we support new and experienced volunteers working in 300+ languages with the tools they need to keep Wikipedia accurate and up to date. The team's main area of focus is the flagship VisualEditor, our industry-leading rich-text editing platform which we have been extending to serve new use cases (e.g. DiscussionTools to support on-wiki communication) and unlock new capabilities that lower the barriers people encounter when contributing to Wikipedia. The latest capability being Edit Check, an open-ended system designed to surface actionable pieces of feedback and suggestions that help volunteers improve the quality and integrity of the information Wikipedia offers.
To ensure there are enough opportunities to communicate, this role with the Editing Team needs at least four hours of your workday to occur between 15:00 to 18:00 UTC.
