Growth/Growth 2014

The purpose of the Growth team is to find ways to attract and retain new Wikipedia editors. The team launched on April 16, 2012 as the "Editor Engagement Experiments" team, and in 2013 changed its name to more clearly reflect its goal (rather than our methodology). We are hiring several new full-time engineering positions.

Team

 * Matt Flaschen (Engineer)
 * Pau Giner (Interaction designer)
 * Aaron Halfaker (Research Analyst)
