Education/CommunityManager
Community Manager, Education
While Mozilla has a sizable paid engineering staff, the success of the project depends in large part on unpaid code contributors. Some of those contributors are students or groups of students, however there's little support provided by Mozilla for curriculum development, mentor pairing, nor alignment of students' work with Mozilla's priorities. We want to work with technical colleges, computer science departments and independent educational groups to provide their students an opportunity for real world experience in open source development. Mozilla benefits by receiving code contributions, introducing and educating tomorrow's programmers about our technologies and mission, and by advancing our recruiting efforts directly into the classroom.
