The Upshot is a versatile, multidisciplinary team in the New York Times newsroom whose mission is to help our readers understand the news — and to find new ways to explain the world we're living in.

We're looking for a data-savvy visual editor who will work with the entire Upshot desk on projects ranging from short news stories to long-term enterprise to interactive applications.

As a deputy editor, you will be part of the Upshot's leadership team, and you will influence everything we publish.

Other times, you'll lend a hand in making sure a visual element is precise and pixel-perfect.

You are an editor who can help reporters think through how to analyze a dataset.

You should develop intuitive (and counterintuitive) ways to tell stories through charts, graphics, and other formats.
