Job Description
The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
About the Role:
The New York Times is looking for a Software Engineer to join our Search team. As the Search team, our mission is to provide flexible, performant, relevant, and accurate asset querying capabilities for systems, internal users, and external customers of the New York Times.
We are building features for the next generation platform, Rose for full text search at The New York Times. Rose powers the New York Times Core News site search, Cooking and Audio searches. We aim to improve the search experience for users across our products both internally and externally.
We use Elasticsearch for indexing and query functionality, while much of our development is done using Clojure. Our services are presently hosted on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Responsibilities:
- Take on multiple technical tasks not limited to programming, such as working with Cloud services, platforms and APIs.
- Research and document proposed solutions.
- Write unit tests, integration tests and user documentation.
- Assist other teams to onboard to our search platform.
- Collaborate and learn through pairing, design reviews, and code reviews.
- Collaborate with Product Management and other professionals within your team and across the organization.
- You will report to the Engineering Manager of Search.
Basic Qualifications:
- 2+ years in building large-scale software applications.
- Experience with building backend systems.
- Unit/Integration testing experience.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in Clojure.
- Experience with Elasticsearch or other Search Engines.
- Experience in deployments and services on cloud platforms.
- Experience with Docker and Kubernetes for container and deployment orchestration.
This role may require limited on-call hours. An on-call schedule will be determined when you join, taking into account team size and other variables.
