Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit organization that hosts Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata, and supports communities worldwide that create and curate freely accessible content. The organization serves a global audience, providing free knowledge read by over a billion people a month in over 300 languages and operated collaboratively by users worldwide using MediaWiki software. The foundation engages with artificial intelligence and machine learning through its product development and safety initiatives, utilizing AI and machine learning techniques to address difficult problems in online safety and security, such as evaluating AI models to detect malicious user-authored code and identifying potentially abusive activity.

The open roles indicate that the Wikimedia Foundation is building teams focused on product analytics, product safety, and security. The current hiring efforts include senior-level individual contributor roles, specifically a Senior Data Scientist for Safety and Security within the Product Analytics team. This role operates on a remote basis while requiring specific availability for critical meetings and synchronous collaboration between 13:00 and 19:00 UTC. Through these data and engineering functions, the organization partners product managers, engineers, and research scientists to guide anti-abuse strategies and measure the impact of interventions on the platform.
