We're hiring a new product security lead for Wikipedia! It's a new lead PM role that would steer our security engineering team and how we go about this work here at the Wikimedia Foundation. AND: it's fully remote, and open in a good number of countries. job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jo...
We are hiring a Lead Product Manager to bring their experience dealing with modern threats to bear on Wikipedia’s security strategy in the AI era, and to drive a strong security culture throughout the Wikimedia Foundation and movement.

Though this is a senior role, prior experience in a product manager role is not required. This position is intended to bring strong technical and security experience, including some familiarity with AI in a security context, into a role focused on product and platform strategy. 

This position could be a good fit for a candidate with both strong technical skills and strong communication skills, who is interested in transitioning from engineering work to a strategic role.

This role is an opportunity to be at the center of a pivotal time for Wikipedia, as AI is not only changing security, but also how people access knowledge online. Responding to these changes requires us to plan ambitiously and act decisively, while working closely with the communities whom the project serves.

If you love Wikipedia, take a look at this product job we've just opened to lead some of our most interesting work on keeping the place safe and authentic for humans: job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jo... This role will work directly with dedicated Wikipedians around the world. Think it over!
Wikimedia’s Product Safety and Integrity team is charged with keeping Wikipedia a stable and trustworthy place while  protecting its many readers and contributors. Our strategy is built around putting usable security principles into practice, bringing cutting-edge AI and machine learning techniques to bear on difficult problems, and close day-to-day working partnerships with some of the most dedicated and brilliant Wikipedians in the world.

We are hiring a lead product manager to join this team and help drive this strategy by overseeing a cross-functional product team of engineers, designers, data scientists, and others. Wikipedia’s unique community model, and our team’s focus on working with some of its most trusted members, means that this role will also work directly with key community groups and individuals to understand and respond to the reality on the ground.

This role is an opportunity to be at the center of a pivotal time for Wikipedia, as AI changes how people access knowledge, and presents new risks and opportunities in online safety and security.

Europe is the world’s fastest-warming continent. We’ve seen record heatwaves from the Mediterranean to the Arctic, while glaciers have been shrinking and snow cover melting. The evidence is unequivocal: climate change is not a ‘future’ threat. It is our present reality. ⬇️
A circular map of Europe and the Arctic region showing the rate of warming from 1996 to 2025, measured in degrees Celsius per decade. Most of Europe is shaded in orange to deep red, indicating significant warming, especially in Eastern Europe and parts of Scandinavia. The Arctic region north of Scandinavia and Russia is the darkest red, showing the fastest warming. Greenland shows mixed colors, with some areas in light tones and patches of blue, indicating little warming or slight cooling. The North Atlantic west of Europe appears in pale colors and light blue, suggesting slower warming or localized cooling. A color bar at the bottom ranges from dark blue (cooling, about -1.5°C per decade) to dark red (warming, about +1.5°C per decade).

I don't think tech at large understands how hard it is to be an open source maintainer right now. So many great folks are on the brink of burnout. Funding is drying out. We live in a security minefield. Companies think humans are disposable. If you're a maintainer, we care. You deserve the world.

Happy World Book Day! Enjoy your journeys!

Claude. Claude. I thought we were past this.
What have I told you about committing and pushing without asking???
• You're right, I'm sorry - I committed and pushed without asking. I'll always wait for explicit struction before running git commit or push, no matter how natural it seems to wrap up a task that way.
Let me save that so I don't forget:
• Read feedback_no_auto_commit.md
• The rule was already there — I ignored it anyway. I'II do better.

Meaning that infrastructure like AWS is not something that Signal, or almost anyone else, could afford to just “spin up.” Which is why nearly everyone that manages a real-time service–from Signal, to X, to Palantir, to Mastodon–rely at least in part on services provisioned by these companies. 8/
