Tech Lead, Wikidata Platform
Remote Wikimedia Foundation Job
The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for a collaborative technical lead to guide the sustainment, development, and evolution of the query platform for Wikidata, one of the world's largest open linked databases. Wikidata facilitates much of the structure of Wikipedia content and contributor activities, making an impact on billions of users across 300+ languages. It also is a critical resource for libraries, universities, and other technology platforms. Our vision is a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge. This includes access to data for editing workflow support, research, feature development, and advancing artificial intelligence responsibly.
As the Technical Lead for Wikidata Platform, you will shape the future of how users query and access Wikidata at scale. You will guide the short- and long-term technical vision and architecture for Wikidata Platform to maintain stable, reliable and sustainable data access.
The Technical Lead shares responsibility with the Staff Product Manager and Engineering Manager for the delivery, development, and operations of Wikidata platform products and services. This role is an individual contributor role, reporting to the Director of Product, Abstract Wikipedia and Wikidata Platform. Wikidata application product strategy and development is primarily led and resourced by our affiliate organization, Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE), so this role will also work closely with WMDE product management and engineering counterparts.
The Technical Lead will join the Product and Technology organization at Wikimedia, working alongside product teams building and operating features, products, platforms, and services used by hundreds of millions of people around the world. This is an opportunity to do good while improving and increasing the impact of the Wikidata platform for one of the top 15 websites in the world.
In this role, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of Wikidata's query platform architecture. You will collaborate with the Staff Product Manager to ship platform services and features to serve technical contributors and users of Wikidata, deliver on user needs, and guide Wikidata query services to meet growth in data and demand.
Our engineering environment includes open source applications developed in-house and off-the-shelf, with a wide variety of technologies and stack components, hosted primarily in colocated data centers. A highly successful candidate will also serve as a thought partner to the Vice President and Director of Product, and to affiliate partners on strategic and tactical roadmap development.
This is a remote position; open to candidates residing in a range of different locations in the world. Some travel required
.
You are responsible for:
Stability, performance, and scalability of the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) architecture and data pipeline
Articulating a vision for Wikidata Platform's query infrastructure that supports continued growth and future sustainability
Developing new query methods, APIs, algorithms, and indexing strategies to optimize graph search capabilities for priority use cases
Collaborating with the Staff Product Manager, Engineering Manager, and other cross-functional colleagues to design system requirements and ship iterative improvements to meet user needs
Maintaining an understanding of current developments in structured knowledge representation technologies in order to propose innovative solutions
Persevering through setbacks to ensure team goals are met, or communicating when a pivot may be necessary
Developing an understanding of our movement and how it drives our work
Developing best practices for interacting with platform query services
Performing data analysis to uncover insights and patterns
Skills and Experience:
8+ years of experience building and scaling API-driven data platform products with technical userbases
4+ years of experience in data engineering, specifically with production deployments at scale
Deep understanding of database and knowledge graph representation technologies and standards
Proficiency in Java, C++, or other programming languages for database interactions. Ability to set up, scale, and investigate systems is more important than expertise in a particular language.
Experience navigating issues associated with privacy-sensitive data and familiarity with security best practices in implementing database query services
Past success in breaking down ambiguous projects into clear tasks
Ability to work with multiple stakeholder teams to deliver results through lateral influence and collaboration
Knowledge of highly scalable data processing frameworks (Spark, Kafka, Flink, etc.)
Qualities that are important to us:
Commitment to the mission of the organization, our values, and guiding principles
Strong collaborative problem-solving skills and ability to lead a technical team effectively to deliver a project from idea to production
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to clearly and proactively communicate plans and results to stakeholders and collaborators.

Curiosity and commitment to continuous learning
Ability to grow impact through mentoring and development of other engineers
Resilience and patience in a large and complex ecosystem of stakeholders

Experience with open source, open data, or open knowledge communities
Experience as a contributor on Wikipedia, Wikidata, or in Wikimedia project communities
Experience delivering data platform capabilities that you can share with us during interviews

Senior Marketing Manager
Remote Wikimedia Foundation Job
This is a fully remote role; however, the candidate must be based in the Pacific Time Zone. Due to the nature of collaboration with teams and stakeholders primarily working in this time zone, alignment is essential.
The Wikimedia Foundation seeks an innovative, creative and collaborative marketing leader to define and execute strategies for engaging young people (aged 18-25) on short form video platforms with Wikipedia. As part of this work, they will build and lead a fast moving and dynamic team from across departments to create a range of dynamic and experimental content and creative campaigns that can help us unleash our potential in reaching this important audience group on these channels.
Our work on short form video is part of the Foundation's Future Audiences initiative, which explores strategies for creating new audiences for Wikipedia, in an effort to reach everyone in the world with the sum of all human knowledge. We know that young people are spending more time on short form video platforms (TikTok, Instagram Reels, etc) than on traditional search engines or websites to get their information (see our report on global trends). In order to stay front of mind for these audiences, our goal is to build an engaged online community of young people that love, learn from, engage with, trust and share Wikipedia content on short form video platforms. We also wish to create new experiences that increase engagement with these audiences where they are.
Already through various experiments on these channels, we've demonstrated that we can reach younger audiences at scale. Now we're looking to significantly increase our experimentation efforts, through a variety of tactics (for example, influencer marketing, creative campaigns, partnerships), to learn how to effectively increase our brand presence and engagement with these audiences in the longer term.
You are responsible for:
This role will sit in the External Communications team within the Foundation's Communications Department. It will be responsible for:
