To give a little context for this decision, site finances have been good enough for the last year or so (thanks in no small part to the generous support of MetaFilter members and readers) that we can afford to spend a little more than we have been on payroll, which is a welcome change as the current moderator schedule is stretched pretty thin and scheduling time off is always a complicated dance at best. Filling this new position will mean we can do away with long weekend shifts and have more flexibility in scheduling.



So: we're looking for someone interested in and enthusiastic about the site; someone with a passion for MetaFilter but a cool-headed and diplomatic disposition toward conflicts and communication challenges; someone who has the right kind of schedule and availability to join the team and help keep this place kicking along like it has for the last sixteen years.



I'm excited to have this opportunity to bring someone new onto our team, and look forward to hearing from interested folks.

Happy news: we're hiring . Specifically, a part-time, mostly-weekends US daytime moderator to help add a little wiggle room to the current daytime schedule. Take a look at the Jobs post , and drop us an application if it sounds like a good fit.
