* Location:

New York, NY 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.

We are on a journey with the major transformation of teams and systems: organizing for speed, ownership and customer focus with smaller, independent teams, and being AI native in how we work. Engineering is responsible for building, deploying and scaling the experiences that serve our audiences globally across brands, and the consumer-facing surface of that is evolving to meet our audience’s needs.

Technical Direction
* Set technical direction for the team in partnership with the principal/senior principal engineers, and make the team accountable to the agreed architecture, standards and performance budgets.
* Balance the long-term architecture and scalability of the systems against short-term deliverables that contribute to business outcomes, and make the trade-off calls transparently.
* Guide the team through the ongoing…
