Fossjobs: A job board for Free and Open Source jobs

There's definitely a lot more I think but they just don't all get posted there. I know I've seen various FOSS jobs but they get posted or talked about in IRC, mailing lists for a specific project, etc.

But you're right to say there aren't a ton relative to non-FOSS jobs.

That got into 2024 postings fairly quickly. I don't get the sense that the data is very fresh or expansive.

It is ridiculous to post a jobs listing side without salaries or salary ranges listed.

As people who want to work we should just reject using pages like this, as this favours only employers.

"Senior Software Engineer (all genders) - Wikibase Suite"

wtf do they mean by "all genders"? Just write Senior Software Engineer, that is genderless by default?

The term is a gendered one in German. See also, e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14462318
