DESPRE COMPANIE

XWiki is a remote-first company contributing for more than 20 years to an Open World by having created and continuously building two 100% Open Source projects: XWiki and CryptPad, that respond to two important society needs: Knowledge Sharing and Individual Privacy.

XWiki believes in Open Source, independence and social achievement more than in financial success. We value transparency, openness, meritocracy and collaboration, knowledge and privacy. We focus on ensuring employee happiness and work-life balance.
