This position offers a unique opportunity to work with New Yorker writers and artists on a wide range of story genres, from humor and culture to politics and investigative reporting. The ideal candidate is a talented front-end engineer who can translate complex ideas and designs into clean, well-structured code; a natural collaborator and communicator; and an independent, organized worker who thrives under deadline.

  • Insure features adhere to our browser-support list and are optimized for performance across devices and browsers.
  • Research and learn new languages or technologies as needed and specify when outside consultation is necessary.
  • Communicate with team members to execute projects successfully and on time.
  • Demonstrate support for and understanding of The New Yorker's journalistic mission and standards.
  • Additional duties as required, or as assigned by manager.
  • A portfolio showcasing front-end development work that demonstrates ability in layout, aesthetics, typography, motion design, working with video, audio, and graphics, and user-centered design.
  • A minimum of five years of professional experience in a digital design or software development role using modern JavaScript frameworks.
  • Experience with modern design tools and workflows (particularly Figma).
  • Experience in front-end Web fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Web performance, accessibility).
  • Experience with front-end, component-based frameworks (such as React, Vue, or Svelte).
  • Familiarity with JavaScript building and bundling tooling and frameworks (e.g., Vite, Webpack).
  • Knowledge of current front-end Web development best practices and ability to keep up with evolving conventions.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; thrives within a close-knit, dynamic team.
  • Ability to work in a self-directed manner on multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines.
  • Familiarity with Git, GitHub, and other software-development workflow tools preferred.
  • Experience with Agile methodology and/or project management tools (e.g., Linear, Jira, Asana, Basecamp) preferred.
  • Familiarity with one or more back-end languages and frameworks (such as Node.js, Go, Ruby/Rails, Python) is a plus.
  • Experience working with APIs on either the front end or back end (either REST-style or GraphQL-style) preferred.
  • Experience with WebGL, three.js, babylon.js, After Effects, Cinema4D, or Blender preferred.
  • An interest in the editorial values, style, and standards of The New Yorker. Previous experience working in a journalistic context is a plus.
  • Willingness to work some early mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays, as individual projects may require.
