Opportunities and open positions

• UI Designer (contract)

  We're seeking a talented UI designer to enhance and shape the visual experience of open source tools that help volunteers and professionals contribute to Wikimedia projects. This is a contracting opportunity expected to run from Q1 2026.

  You will be responsible for establishing a visual and aesthetic identity for a series of new tools (upload, metrics, and beyond). Your work will aid the implementation of user-friendly interfaces as well as narrative stories about open data and its impact.

  Beyond working on a new series of tools, you will help identify valuable and incremental design improvements in existing tools, such as OpenRefine and Pattypan.

  What You'll Do

  • Create a comprehensive visual and aesthetic identity for a series of new Wikimedia tools
  • Design elements and components for interfaces that make complex data workflows accessible
  • Develop elements and resources that can be used to create visual narratives that communicate the impact and value of open data
  • Design incremental improvements for existing tools like OpenRefine and Pattypan

  If you are interested, please send your portfolio to [email protected]. If possible, highlight projects related to UI design of data-heavy interfaces.
