Learn about the various opportunities for your engagement for Free Software. </p> </div> <p> We are looking for smart, motivated people who want to dedicate their work time for the advancement of Free Software on numerous levels. The FSFE is open for most employment forms: full-time or part-time, internships, traineeships or working student jobs, based at our main office or remotely – we are looking forward to get to know you! </p> <h2 id="id-about-the-fsfe">About the FSFE</h2> <p> Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives and it is important that technology empowers rather than restricts us. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support other fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, press, and privacy. </p> <p> The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and self-determination. It enhances users' rights by abolishing barriers to Free Software adoption, encourages people to use and develop Free Software, and provides resources to enable everyone to further promote Free Software in Europe. </p> <p> The FSFE operates in a lively environment of numerous volunteers from many countries and several full-time employees. We are involved in <a href="/activities/index.en.html">many activities</a> in <a href="/about/ourwork.en.html">social, political, legal, and technical areas</a> that are driven by staff and volunteers. </p> <div class="grid-50-50"> <div class="box first"> <figure> <video crossorigin="crossorigin" poster="https://pics.fsfe.org/uploads/medium/a140bb548f4c4d936c592721cd7250de.png" controls="controls"> <source type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' src="https://download.fsfe.org/videos/20years/matthias_kirschner/matthias_kirschner_en_desktop.mp4"></source> <source type='video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"' src="https://download.fsfe.org/videos/20years/matthias_kirschner/matthias_kirschner_en_desktop.webm"></source> </video> <figcaption> Matthias Kirschner, President of the FSFE </figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="box"> <figure> <video class="interview-video" crossorigin="crossorigin" poster="https://download.fsfe.org/videos/supporter/posters/alexandra.jpg" controls="controls"> <source media="screen and (min-device-width:1000px)" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' src="https://download.fsfe.org/videos/supporter/alexandra_desktop.mp4"></source> <source media="screen and (min-device-width:1000px)" type='video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"' src="https://download.fsfe.org/videos/supporter/alexandra_desktop.webm"></source> <source media="screen and (max-device-width:999px)" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' src="https://download.fsfe.org/videos/supporter/alexandra_mobile.mp4"></source> <source media="screen and (max-device-width:999px)" type='video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"' src="https://download.fsfe.org/videos/supporter/alexandra_mobile.webm"></source> <track default="default" label="English" srclang="en" kind="subtitles" src="https://download.fsfe.org/videos/supporter/subtitles/alexandra.vtt"></track> </video> <figcaption> Alexandra Busch, former FSFE intern </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> <h2 id="id-our-offer-to-you">Our offer to you</h2> <p> As part of the FSFE's staff, you will work for important issues that shape our today's and future society.

There was never a boring day. I was involved in high-level legal and policy work as well as community building and awareness-raising activities. I was in the core preparation team of short and long-term campaigns. </p> <cite>Olga Gkotsopoulou, Intern 2017</cite> </div> </div> </blockquote> <p> To stay up-to-date with new job opportunities, we recommend to follow our <a href="/news/index.en.html">news</a> and sign up for the <a href="/news/newsletter.en.html">monthly newsletter</a>.
