Meet Some of Our People Jeff Sisson Lead Software Engineer Sobia Ali Senior Engineering Manager James Thomas Software Engineer Carrie Price Senior Software Engineer Hiring Process We believe that an organization made up of people with diverse backgrounds, experiences and skill sets makes us — our report, our technology, our products and our company — better. Our team includes engineers with English degrees, bootcamp graduates, former designers and more. There is no one type of person or developer we are looking for. We want people who share our values and are committed to the mission of The Times. Our hiring process can vary slightly from role to role, but for the most part, it will go something like this: You apply! Our hiring managers and recruiting team will review your application, and if they think it’s a good match, will reach out to schedule a phone call with a member of our Talent & Inclusion team. On this call, you will discuss your work to date and make sure the role meets your career goals. You’ll have a call with a hiring manager or a member of one the teams you are being considered for — it’s an opportunity for you to find out about the opening, ask questions. You might be asked to do a short exercise or assessment, depending on the role. Read more about our technical hiring process here. We’ll have you in for an in-person (or remote) interview during which you’ll meet with various members of the team(s) you’re being considered for, members of teams you’ll work closely with and the hiring manager. Our hiring panel of everyone that interviewed you meets to review your candidacy and make a decision. We strive to let you know either way as soon as possible. APPLY NOW Questions Do I need a computer science degree to be an engineer at The Times? No. There’s no one background we are looking for — from bootcamp graduates to career developers, English majors to people with an M.S. in computer science — if you have the skill sets we’re looking and your values align with ours, we want to talk to you. I’m not based in New York — can I still apply? Yes. While the bulk of our tech operation is based in our New York headquarters, our remote work policy is flexible. We have developers based in St. Louis, Denver, San Francisco and several other cities across the United States. Is there a limit to how many positions I can apply for? No. Do I need a journalism background to work in tech at The New York Times? It depends. The bulk of the open positions in technology do not require a journalism background. However, some of our roles work closely with the newsroom and require some journalism experience. Will I be considered for roles outside of the one I applied for? Yes. Our hiring needs change on a weekly, if not daily, basis. We will consider you for all open roles that you might be a good fit for, but we’ll always check with you if we want to move forward with you for a role you didn’t apply for. Your Development We equally emphasize the importance of developing software and developing people. Learning: As a learning organization, we are committed to ensuring all technology employees have the time, space and resources necessary to continuously learn and develop. In addition to a company-wide tuition reimbursement program, all technology employees set aside a week every year to focus on their own learning, development and growth. They can use these five days to learn anything they’re interested in, whether that’s via a conference, taking a formal class, creating your own self-directed study plan or any other mechanism you want to learn through. Career Ladders: We understand the need to know what your next step is, so every role in technology has an associated career ladder that outlines the criteria and qualifications that are considered in promoting people to every role.
