The Readers department of Wikimedia Product builds exceptional learning and reading experiences for the sum of all knowledge, from desktop and mobile web to apps and APIs. The team's work focuses on understanding user needs, how readers interact with Wikimedia content, and finding ways to improve and speed up experiences. We build beautiful, functional, and fast user interfaces for all locations, devices and languages.
