The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. Independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. We have a world‑renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries, focus deeply on how our readers experience our journalism—from print to audio to a world‑class digital and app destination—and center our business strategy on making journalism so good that it is worth paying for.

The New York Times is looking for a full‑stack developer to join one of several teams that make up our Messaging Platforms group. Your work will grow and nurture the Times' relationship with its readers—the cornerstone of NYT's subscription‑first business model. You'll ensure editors can cover breaking news quickly with the help of the Times' push notification and email tools. The systems you build will support the full portfolio of the Times' email and push offerings.

You'll collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers who value empathy, innovation, and a shared sense of responsibility for our success. Front‑end development is written in React, while most of our backend code is Go. Services are deployed using CI/CD tools like Drone and Git Hub actions, and our infrastructure—hosted in Google Cloud and AWS—is provisioned with Terraform.

• Develop REST APIs inside a Go codebase.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams across the organization that work on several aspects of the system related to messaging.

• 3+ years of experience in full‑stack web application development, including proficiency with back‑end languages (Go preferred) and SQL.
