Great news: [the Python Software Foundation is **hiring a full-time
project manager/community manager for Python's packaging
toolchain**](https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-psf-is-hiring-python-packaging.html).
Thanks to
[Bloomberg](https://www.techatbloomberg.com/blog/supporting-the-python-community-by-shifting-left/)
for the funding! Please [read the
announcement](https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-psf-is-hiring-python-packaging.html),
check out [the job description](https://www.python.org/jobs/5317/), and
spread the news. Please apply by May 18th, 2021.
The job is remote and you can apply from anywhere in the world. As the
description says: "Total compensation will range from $100k-$125k USD
based on qualifications and experience." And you'd report to @EWDurbin
Ee W. Durbin III, a colleague I strongly recommend and love working with.
I [blogged about why this role is
critical](https://www.harihareswara.net/sumana/2021/04/13/1). This new
position does build on activities I've led, so I figured I'd explicitly
say: I won't be applying for it. I'm going to be, instead, excited to
collaborate with this person and help them learn all the stuff I know,
so that in the long run, we'll have more people, with that set of skills
and domain knowledge, working on Python packaging. I'll concentrate on
the Python supply chain security piece specifically (via [the NSF-funded
work at
NYU](https://discuss.python.org/t/new-packaging-security-funding-nyu/7792)).
