Open Source Maintainer Expert
Role details
AfterQuery is looking for open source maintainers to review code for a paid, remote project. You will review real engineering tasks and judge the quality of the work, the same way you review pull requests on the projects you maintain. Work is flexible at 5 to 20 hours a week, and each review takes about 30 minutes. This role is for people who maintain or review code for established open source projects, not for occasional contributors. Please include your GitHub profile when you apply.
