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 Senior Engineer, Cybersecurity is a hands-on contributor who designs, builds, and operates security controls and services that protect The Times' systems, data, and users. As a member of the Security Architecture team, you will own complex initiatives end-to-end, drive measurable risk reduction, and collaborate across product engineering and enterprise technology with technical depth, operational rigor, and clear communication aligned with business outcomes.

Cybersecurity helps prevent The Times from becoming news. Our teams work to protect the news makers, their support staff, the platforms they rely on every day, as well as all of The Times' products and services, and our readers who consume them.

Responsibilities:

  • Create an environment that favors context, not control. Empower product engineers and ensure they have the relevant information and tools to deliver secure products and services.
  • Design, implement, and operate security controls and services (e.g., identity and access management, secrets management, endpoint/agent hardening, network segmentation, detection, and response automation) that meet reliability, security, scalability, and observability standards.
  • Partner with product and platform teams to integrate security into architecture and developer workflows while articulating business impact and tradeoffs.
  • Perform security reviews, threat modeling, and risk assessments (code, design, 3rd-party apps).
