We are looking for: Staff Engineer Wikidata (all genders), Full or Part Time, Berlin
@mike @nightrose @wikidata it's normal practice in Germany (where Wikimedia Deutschland are based).
See: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAGerman/comments/15yvg7f/why_do_some_job_advertisements_in_germany_have/
Research shows that mentioning it is actually making a difference. We should not question the practice to write 'all genders' but question the social norms that make it necessary.
some elements in my comment here:

@mike @nightrose @wikidata
It does actually also make sense in English because de facto, even if the language is gender-neutral, the social norms and history tells us that if nothing is specified, "neutral" is read as masculine.
When you write "all genders" it (should) means you will take care of a fair decision process (even more if you do not have to do so legally) or that you are at least aware of the issues.
Reddit seems not to be a very good source of information about developing inclusive processes in hiring...
@jcolomb @nightrose @wikidata I would hope we'd got beyond that by now.
But maybe we haven't.
@nightrose I'd love it!
