Open Source Lead (Anticipated)

The Open Source Lead will establish policies for licensing, dependency, and disclosure to satisfy federal directives. They will build and moderate public forums, host virtual meet-ups, and partner with universities and OSPOs to expand the contributor base. Responsibilities include building or configuring tools to support open-source adoption, planning and facilitating hackathons and conference workshops, and publishing contributor guides and processes to lower barriers to entry. The role also involves running feature-voting cycles, responding to community inquiries and issues, reporting on engagement KPIs, coaching internal teams on reusable component patterns, and representing the organization at civic-tech events. The lead will also contribute to hiring, outreach, and communities of practice as needed.
