Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit organization that operates Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, along with other free-knowledge projects like Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, and Wiktionary. It is a global movement supported by donations and a large community of volunteer editors, with a staff of several hundred employees working across engineering, product, fundraising, and communications. The Foundation's mission is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license.

In Spain, the Wikimedia Foundation does not have a dedicated office, but the country has a strong community of Wikimedia chapters and volunteer editors who organize events like Iberoconf and other local outreach activities. For international professionals, the Foundation offers a remote-friendly, open-source culture with a focus on transparency and collaboration, and it is known for its global, multilingual community. While most roles are based in the US, the Foundation's work is inherently international, and it hires talent from around the world, including Spain, for remote and project-based positions.
