We're hiring a part-time MetaFilter moderator
MetaFilter is hiring a new part-time moderator! We're looking at candidates both within and outside the current MetaFilter community; you can find details about the job listing and application process here. We especially encourage people of color, women, sexual and gender minorities, people with disabilities, and members of other marginalized or underrepresented groups to apply.
Directly related: after nine years working here as a moderator, restless_nomad is headed out for new adventures. Drop by MetaTalk and wish her well!
As we wave goodbye to pb, we also say hello to MetaFilter's new tech person, long-time community member frimble!
In case you missed it: MetaFilter is currently accepting applications for a part-time database and web admin!
We're looking to bring someone on as a member of our team, to help with regular backend maintenance and possible development. Work from anywhere, very flexible scheduling, and you'd be joining a team of moderators in supporting one of the longest-running web communities around. See the job listing for details, and apply or pass it on!
After ten-ish years, our beloved pb is leaving MetaFilter. Come over to MetaTalk to celebrate him!
This also means we are hiring a part-time web and DB admin.
A couple weeks ago, we said we're hiring; now, we've hired! Long-time contributor and community member Eyebrows McGee will be joining the MetaFilter moderation team starting in the new year.
Exciting news: we're looking to hire an additional part-time moderator to join the MetaFilter team. If you're a site member with a cool head and an interest in community management, take a look at the job listing and consider submitting an application.

MetaFilter started as a community weblog in 1999, later added question and answers, then music by members, jobs, projects by members, a podcast, and finally an area dedicated to meetups.
