Our jobs page doesn't work on mobile web.
I was trying to send someone this page for the mobile web job and it
wasn't good experience. This is the first thing a potential job candidate
sees, we should fix this quick.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, it's not just the jobs page; it's tons of pages on the WMF
wiki :-/ Our solution for that wiki so far has been to add pages that
aren't formatted for mobile to a hidden category that sends the user to the
desktop site, which is marginally more useable.
The issue lies in the markup (specifically, custom-made templates and
tables that don't play well with MFE) being used to generate content on
those pages. I know that folks in Communications and Legal were interested
in hiring a developer/designer to make this and other important WMF content
(really crucial stuff like Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, basically all
the chapters stuff, fundraising, etc.) mobile-friendly, but I don't know
what the status of that hiring process is. I'll poke them on this :)
