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

You will work with the latest cloud-based technologies, building applications in serverless and container technology from back-end workflow engines, data mining, API, and websites. We are entirely cloud-focused; our group is completely invested in AWS Lambda functions and a variety of other serverless AWS Managed Services. You'll participate in discovery, analysis, requirements gathering, design, and implementation. You will help in transforming our systems and deployment methodologies to be aligned with the current best practices models.

You will be reporting to the Senior Director of the Publishing Technology Software Engineering team. Your teammates will be other Systems Analysts, Software Engineers, DevOps Engineers and Project Managers, all working in an Agile environment.
