Hello everyone,
We are looking for a senior full-stack developer to work with us as a contractor on Scribe.
Scribe is a Wikimedia Foundation funded software and research project. We are building a tool to support newcomer Wikipedia editors in creating new articles in under-resourced languages (e.g. Arabic, Hindi). The project is open-source and will be integrated on low-resource Wikipedias so you will be working on a great cause of making knowledge accessible to everyone. Plus your work will have great visibility and impact on the community.
You:
We are looking for a senior software engineer contractor to realize the Scribe project in a part-time position for 9 months starting on the 14th of October.
You will work remotely with us. We are looking for someone with 3+ years of experience in Full-stack development and community-focused applications.
Your future team:
The project leads are Lucie and Hady, researchers in Computer Science. So you will be part of our three-person team and able to influence the project itself.
Lucie is a PhD researcher at the University of Southampton and TIB Hannover. She previously worked at Wikimedia Germany. Hady holds a PhD in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning and currently works as a researcher in Naver Labs Europe. We live in France and Germany/UK respectively, so we are used to working remotely and effective communication.
How to apply:
We also appreciate any other kind of information in any format that shows your relevant experience, creativity and problem-solving skills.
Note: Interviews will be scheduled on a first come first served basis until the position gets filled, so please consider to submit your profile as soon as possible.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Lucie-Aimée Kaffee and Hady Elsahar
