Responsibilities

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. 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.
You'll be part of Developer Platforms and report to the Engineering Manager of the Developer AI team.
As a Software Engineer on the Developer AI team, you'll help build GenAI-augmented developer experiences and platform capabilities used across The New York Times. You'll work with more senior engineers on the team to deliver well-scoped projects that improve how engineers build, test, and deploy software.
You'll also help define how engineers across Product Engineering design and operate their own agents and agentic workflows. That means helping turn one-off experiments into opinionated, reusable patterns - deliverying and running custom agents safely on our internal platform.
Your work will help teams:
Ship faster and more safely by using GenAI-augmented workflows instead of one-off scripts and manual toil.
Pay down technical debt through structured migrations and platform modernization.
Turn internal practices into reusable tools and agents.
You'll collaborate with partner teams, contribute to the reliability and security of our services, and grow your skills in cloud-native engineering, internal platforms, and practical GenAI.
