And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.

As a Fullstack Web Engineer, you will play an important part in implementing and evolving the architectural vision for the Creative Tech team at The New York Times. While our team roots itself in creative storytelling, we expand to build, full-stack applications that power our advertising products and internal operations.

  • API & Data Strategy: Design and implement efficient GraphQL APIs and schema definitions; improve SQL queries and manage database migrations to ensure data integrity and performance.
  • Authentication & Security: Architect secure authentication flows, with a specific focus on integrating Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions and managing role-based access controls.
  • Core Development: Write maintainable, modular, and high-quality code using TypeScript and React for our client-side, and Node.js for the server-side.
  • DevOps & Infrastructure Expansion: Support the team's deployment workflows by building CI/CD pipeli
