We’re going to make sending money as easy as sending an email — and we’re doing it all in the open. We know the best innovations on the web were born in public. They’ve been built with a diverse community of innovators – people willing to question how the internet can better connect us. This time, we want a more equitable economy.

As our Open Source Contributor Experience Lead, it’ll be your job to establish, grow, and advocate for one of the most important young communities in the world. We’re gaining momentum with our developing projects, and it’s critical that they are cared for. Our contributors deserve world-class programs, infrastructure, and tools to keep them connected and moving forward. Every single member of our community deserves an excellent experience, to feel valued and welcomed at every stage of their journey.

This is a multidisciplinary role in which you’ll be able to pull from your experience in strategy, community building, technical problem-solving, marketing, and program management. We don’t expect you’ll have dedicated history in each of these backgrounds, but you have likely shown impressive technical leadership developing public initiatives that put people first. You:

• You’ve built community development efforts and have a toolbox of techniques to get results

• You enjoy getting hands on keyboards by applying technical solutions to policies and strategies you devise.

• You have earned opinions on inclusive community development and are willing to fight for how they’re upheld in practice.
