Hello everyone, I’m pleased to announce Rob Moen is moving from the VisualEditor team to the Growth team.
In Growth, Rob will fill the team's third full-time engineer position, joining Matthew Flaschen, Sam Smith, and Andrew Russell Green (who's collaborating with Growth on the Campaigns extension). With Rob's help, the team will be able to move faster on projects like its experiments acquiring anonymous editors and building features for new article creators. Rob has done amazing work on VisualEditor. Starting with when the team specifically requested him from Editor Engagement two years ago to work on the user interface features such as toolbars and inspectors and finishing up with mobile integration and major UploadWizard media integration changes. He’ll bring that deep knowledge of VisualEditor, OOJS, and OOUI to projects focused on experimentation and growth in the editor community. Besides being a rare combination of front-end and full-stack engineer with extensive MediaWiki experience, he’s also the only engineer in Growth in the same timezone as Steven Walling and the design team members. VisualEditor team is now looking for two candidates for open engineering positions, one of which will fill Rob's spot on the team. Check out the job description[0] especially if you can help refer someone.
