דרושים Engineering Manager, Product Safety and Security במרכז

The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking an experienced and mission-driven Engineering Manager to lead the security and privacy engineering group in our Product Safety and Security team, and to advise the Foundation on security and privacy issues.

Product Safety and Security is a team made of two tightly connected engineering groups. This role manages a group of security and privacy engineers that strengthen the security and privacy of the applications that make up Wikipedia and our other projects.
