The New York Times is seeking a curious, creative, and passionate web developer to join the team behind NYT Cooking (nytcooking.com).
Who are we?
NYT Cooking helps you discover the world's best recipes.
Our team is small and interdisciplinary — we collaborate with our design, product, and editorial teams to prototype, develop and scale new features for both our responsive website and mobile iOS apps.
Who are we looking for?
We want a web developer who can help conceive a feature, whiteboard it, and then take it to production. You should have an attention to detail, a sense of ownership, and pride in the quality of your work. We’re looking for both front-end and back-end developers, with a particular interest in those with full-stack experience.
You’re comfortable talking about product development and architecting and developing applications. You care about writing beautiful and tested code, and spend time sweating the details of an interaction.
An interest in food and cooking and experience using other cooking sites or apps doesn't hurt, either.
Why should you even?
On Cooking, you’ll have the opportunity to drive the architecture and influence product direction in a way that doesn't typically happen at large media companies. It's cliché to say that we operate like a startup within a larger company, but we have the freedom to move quickly.
Every few months, we have a “hack week” that gives our developers the opportunity to explore ideas that might not otherwise make it on the product roadmap.
And we have fun — try searching our site using emoji.
We launched NYT Cooking to the public in September 2014 and already have attracted millions of users. Our recipe box and search features on Cooking are just the beginning. We are making Cooking even more valuable to our users in 2015, and we want you to help us get there.
We expect you can…
- Develop and launch web applications collaboratively as part of a cross-functional team
- Communicate well with technical and non-technical team members
- Manage your time and see projects through to completion
- Prioritize features and know which are must-haves vs. nice-to-haves
- Contribute to discussions about product strategies and tactics
It would be nice if you have…
- Built applications with Ruby-on-Rails
- An understanding of the principles of responsive web design
- Worked with CSS precompilers
- Familiarity with client-side MV* frameworks
- Run A/B tests to evaluate new features or help optimize existing ones
- Spent time optimizing for performance
