The Wikimedia Cloud Services team operates an OpenStack cluster hosting Wikimedia (Wikipedia) technical community projects such as our pre-production testing environment, the worker pool for our CI system, and a large number of "semi-production" services which make editing and viewing the wikis nicer. We also own a Kubernetes cluster, a Grid Engine distributed job scheduler, a pool of MariaDB database servers, and other ancillary services that technical volunteers use to gather and process data for use on the wiki projects.
The team is full distributed and spans from California to Spain. Remote work is our norm with communication via irc, email, bug tracker (Phabricator), and video calls. Wikimedia's office is in SF and would be home for anyone looking for visa work.
Day to day work is a mix of long term projects, incident response, and tier 2-3 tech support for end-users. Ideal candidates will have a mix of operations and software development experience and some history of supporting end-users.
I use vim. Other MediaWiki developers use emacs, PHPStorm, TextMate, Notepad++ or whatever editor or IDE the individual developer is most comfortable with.
