The New York Times Content Management team is looking for an experienced software engineer with good UI sensibilities to create and maintain cutting-edge tools that allow the newsroom to publish nytimes.com. We are not looking for a copy/paste hacker who can throw together JS based on sample code, but a serious software engineer who can work independently and build an interface from scratch as readily as build upon and improve an existing application.
Responsibilities:
- Work directly with our internal customers on the business side and in the newsroom to prototype and implement solutions that will improve internal workflows and ultimately benefit our readers
- Contribute to architecture decisions that set the course for future development of our home-grown CMS
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years experience creating and maintaining applications.
- Strong expertise with at least one common JS framework such as JQuery.
- Experience with a JavaScript MVC Framework, such as Backbone.
- Competent with interface design (not necessarily visual design, but tool design). Candidate can put together a compelling prototype without having a design handed off, or can follow existing design patterns to expand on an existing UI.
- A solid understanding of web application architecture, object oriented software, and design patterns. We are not looking for a scripter who can follow examples, but someone who fundamentally understands software development.
- Strong communication skills and willingness to collaborate with end users and iterate software designs based on feedback.
Plusses:
- Experience with content management systems or blogging platforms.
- Experience programming web applications in any object oriented language (Java preferred)
- Understanding of Web Services: REST & Soap and related frameworks.
- Comfortable working in a Linux environment from the command line.
The ideal candidates will:
- Be excited to take part in the process that publishes The New York Times.
- Be passionate about building great software
- Be nimble and flexible enough to thrive in a rapidly evolving business environment
- Have big thoughts and the courage to voice them
- Have enthusiasm for emerging technologies
- Grasp the big picture, and
- Be curious about and engaged in the broader world
