Fullstack Software Engineer, Messaging Platforms

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It's why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It's why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it's why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it's worth paying for.

About The Role

The New York Times is looking for a full stack developer to join one of several teams that make up our Messaging Platforms group. Your work will grow and nurture the Times' relationship with its readers—the cornerstone of NYT's subscription-first business model. You'll ensure editors can cover breaking news quickly with the help of the Times' push notification and email tools. And you'll iterate at scale: the systems you'll build atop of are responsible for the full portfolio of the Times' email and push offerings. Along the way, you'll collaborate and learn from your colleagues: engineers, designers, and product managers who value empathy, innovation, and a sense of shared responsibility for our success.

Our front-end development is written in React, while most of our backend code is Go. Services are deployed using CI/CD tools like Drone and GitHub actions, and our infrastructure, which is hosted in Google Cloud and AWS, is provisioned with Terraform.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the full development lifecycle of our products: development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and support of our systems.
• Work within a collaborative, distributed team of engineers, designers, and product managers to develop user-friendly front-end capabilities.
• Develop REST APIs inside a Go codebase.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams across the organization that work on several aspects of the system related to messaging.
• Maintain code quality through static analysis, unit and system tests.

This is a hybrid role based in our New York City headquarters and reports to one of the Engineering Managers in the Messaging Platforms group.
