Responsibilities
Independent journalism is at the core of our work, and our digital products, from News to Games to Cooking and Audio, help millions of people engage with that journalism every day.
Behind those products is a large engineering organization that relies on a reliable, modern, and AI-augmented developer platform.
The Developer Platforms organization provides cloud infrastructure and tooling to 100+ teams and 750+ engineers in NYT Product Engineering through an internal developer platform.
The Developer AI team focuses on developer experience with GenAI tools and agentic workflows.
We provide paved paths that make it easier for product engineers to deliver and operate reliable software using AI-augmented workflows.
We work with teams using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot to support debugging, migrations, test generation, and everyday development in a safe, measurable way.
