Product Manager
Machinify- Full Time
- Junior (1 to 2 years)
The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking a collaborative Lead Product Manager to support the Abstract Wikipedia project. This visionary initiative aims to increase access to encyclopedic knowledge by enabling more people to share more knowledge in more languages. Abstract Wikipedia envisions a future where Wikipedia articles are written once in an abstract form and then translated into any language through a community-edited natural language system. The technical foundation for this is Wikifunctions, a multilingual, open-source catalog of code functions.
This is a unique opportunity to build the future of the internet and expand access to free knowledge. The role involves working with an international team distributed across time zones UTC-4 to UTC+1.
The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit organization that operates Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia free knowledge projects. Our vision is a world in which every single human can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. We believe that everyone has the potential to contribute something to our shared knowledge, and that everyone should be able to access that knowledge freely. We host Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects.
