New York, NY
** Director of Engineering, Publishing Platform
** Condé Nast is a global media company producing the world's most iconic lifestyle, journalism, and fashion brands. We aim to inspire, inform and entertain our audiences through our portfolio of well known brands such as Vogue, Wired, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, GQ and many other leading brands.

* Own the publishing platform roadmap in partnership with platform product management, balancing brand demand, editorial needs, structural investment, and technical debt.
* Partner with principal engineering on key architectural decisions ahead: content model and format strategy, API contracts, and the consolidation of our authoring toolchain.
* Treat the platform as a product: define and improve the contribution surface that lets brand teams ship on the platform quickly and safely, with…
