What your new team and job look like...

The Moodle Marketplace is a trusted, centralised, peer-to-peer e-commerce platform that connects creators of Moodle plugins and integrations with Moodle users who are looking for free and paid solutions to enhance and extend their Moodle sites.

You will be part of a team that values learning, reflection and introspection, and is always open to improvement as a team and as individuals.

• Contributing to creating and maintaining a collaborative and engaging team culture.
• Promoting Open Source values.
