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.
The Graphics department at The New York Times is looking to hire an experienced engineer to build interactive applications, infrastructure, and tools that power our visual journalism. Our most ambitious data-driven projects rely on bespoke systems to publish multimedia stories to our readers at scale. As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will architect, build, and maintain the cloud infrastructure that powers those stories.
You have demonstrated experience creating visually-compelling interactive experiences, and have expertise creating tooling and systems to build web-based features. Here are some examples of the types of projects you might help build or power with the tools you create:
- The New York Times 2024 Election Results
- The Needle: Live 2024 Presidential Election Forecast
- President Trump’s Approval Ratings: Latest Polls
- Track Covid-19 in the U.S.
- What It Was Like Inside Syria’s Most Fearsome Prison
- The Complex Deportation Network Behind Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
The Graphics department is a group of journalists and visual thinkers with creative backgrounds ranging from architecture to cartography to computer science. We are curious about all kinds of things and seek to find individuals who bring their own curiosity to bear in creative approaches to storytelling.
Applications should include links to a portfolio or code repositories to demonstrate the creation of interactive applications and web sites from concept to launch. Please include a cover letter describing your role in specific projects, with details about software tools and systems you have created.
