I'm an engineer on our CMS team and as Albert mentioned we're currently seeking both back-end and front-end team members. We're not opposed to hiring skilled developers that don't have deep experience the specific language or frameworks we use. There's also always the option of joining the back-end and transitioning over time to a more front-end role. If you're interested, I'm happy to answer any questions or connect you to the hiring manager.

A CMS team? Christ, no wonder NYTimes is losing money.

  As someone who has worked on the integration of off the shelf CMS and as well as built in house ones, I question this statement. There’s a lot of value in building tools that fit the domain and workflow perfectly well. It’s expensive in the short term but in the long term saves a lot of time and money.

    Sure. But it doesn't take a "team" to build up a CMS. This is why media "tech teams" are viewed as a joke in the tech industry.

      WTF? It takes a 'team' to provide any sort of professional level of support for an organization of their size. If the one-person "CMS/tech wizard" decides to stop working, or die, or get sick, or take an extra 4 hours to be with their family, the entirety of the NYT operations should just say "oh well, we'll just wait around for a while until we find our next one person to be our tech saviour"?

      It is not constructive for me to engage with this level of cinicism.

NYT seems remote friendly, but is NYT remote non-US friendly? Front-end/Full-stack engineer from The Netherlands here.

  We do have news employees in bureaus around the world but I'm not sure what the the exact policy is for tech employees. I'll see if I can find someone with the answer for you
