mention that -- today -- we have more than 35k courses, reaching 55M+
learners, hosted on the Open edX software?)

*You Will*

- Support the growth of the Open edX platform by fostering collaboration
between members of the international Open edX community
- Build plugin frameworks, APIs, documentation, and processes in order
to build a generative ecosystem

community
- Work with engineering, product, UX, and the community to deliver value
- Proactively communicate status and roadblocks
- Diagnose and fix bugs

And much more to support you in your personal journey! That said, if this

“check every box.” We’d love to hear from you!
