Develop integrations with Spark, Hive Metastore, Presto, Trino, Ray, and other data infrastructure systems. Improve internal data processing infrastructure, contribute to open-source communities, and promote Lance through technical conferences. The role requires deep distributed systems expertise and extensive experience with high-performance databases, big data, or AI training systems.

Lead the Methods and Insights engineering teams, overseeing hiring, coaching, performance management, delivery, operational health, architecture, and developer experience. Partner with product leaders and founders to sequence work, manage risk, improve engineering processes, and ship reliable systems. Build AI-agent development practices, shared components, CI gates, conventions, and harnesses that help engineers move quickly while maintaining quality.

Teaches undergraduate and graduate software development courses online, develops syllabi and course materials, facilitates discussions, evaluates student work, provides feedback, and integrates responsible AI use into instruction. The role requires software development expertise, course preparation, assessment design, and ongoing faculty development. Candidates need a doctorate and substantial applied experience in software development or related computing disciplines.

Four-month, fully remote software engineering internship embedded within Wikimedia Foundation engineering teams. Interns complete a primary project with defined deliverables while learning through mentorship and hands-on work across mobile applications, editing tools, data platforms, release engineering, cloud infrastructure, observability, and contributor connection systems. The program requires 40 hours per week, independent problem-solving, collaborative communication, and foundational programming, database, scripting, and potentially SQL, Linux, networking, operating systems, or distributed-systems knowledge.

Lead the PayIn engineering organization responsible for payment acceptance, recurring billing, funding, transfers, reconciliation, processor integrations, and payment intelligence. Build and retain a high-performing team, scale reliable backend systems, establish SLOs and observability, improve release safety, and partner with Product, AI, and Risk Engineering. The role requires deep payments expertise, strong backend and distributed-systems experience, and the judgment to make technical and people decisions for business-critical services.

Leads data engineering teams while designing and optimizing scalable batch and real-time data pipelines on cloud platforms. Responsibilities include developing PySpark and Spark workflows, orchestrating Airflow DAGs, managing cloud infrastructure, implementing CI/CD, improving data quality and performance, and mentoring engineers. The role collaborates with clients, product, architecture, and program management teams, while applying generative AI and DevOps practices to improve engineering productivity and operational efficiency.

Leads people management, workforce planning, capability development, hiring, and delivery sustainability for a software engineering team building Revit add-ins, Blazor applications, integrations, installers, deployment services, and licensing tools. The role bridges software engineering with AEC and Revit workflows, supports productization and user readiness, develops technical leadership, and improves management systems for distributed teams.

Leads technical direction for large-scale accessibility systems that detect, remediate, and prevent web accessibility issues. Designs, builds, and operates secure, scalable distributed systems; drives technical roadmaps; mentors engineers; partners with Product and Design; and promotes responsible AI-assisted development. The role requires hands-on software engineering across JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, databases, storage, real-time data, and AI-enabled tooling.
