NYTimes.com is looking for experienced, self-motivated developers to create cutting-edge interactive user experiences and web applications across the site. This is a rare opportunity to play an integral part in transforming the publishing industry.
As part of our Web Technology team, you will enjoy a vibrant culture that promotes innovation -- nestled within an established and respected institution.

The successful candidate will be an expert in JavaScript and its prominent libraries such as JQuery and Prototype. Highly proficient in CSS and semantic HTML, and competent in PHP 5 or other modern object oriented programming language. Other responsibilities include ongoing site maintenance and technical documentation. Strong communication skills are a must as this position interacts heavily with many departments within NYTimes.com.
We host:
• Frequent technical presentations for knowledge sharing within and across teams
• An internal technical challenge competition that rewards the authors of practical solutions, by giving them the time, resources and support needed to create production-ready applications
• The Times Developer Network, a clearinghouse for the open APIs we build on top of our high-quality content data sources: http://developer.nytimes.com/
• The Open Blog, where we describe API capabilities and improvements and cover a wide range of other interesting topics: http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/
• The TimesOpen event series, which engages, draws from and contributes to the larger developer community: http://nytimes.com/marketing/timesopen/
You must have:
• Expert-level JavaScript ability. 4-5 years of JavasScript development
• Familiarity and experience with emerging standards such as HTML5's suite of technologies
• In-depth knowledge of available JavaScript libraries and frameworks
• Strong competency in CSS and semantic mark-up, including but not limited to table-less layouts
• Exposure to at least one object-oriented programming language (PHP 5, Java, C++)
• Firm grasp of cross-browser JS and CSS complexities.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to manage one's time effectively to meet multiple, tight deadlines.
• A great attitude and willingness to have fun in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.
It would be nice if you have:
• Proficiency with ActionScript 2/3.
• Experience with optimizing performance of front-end applications.
• SEO best-practice experience.
• Experience using source code control platforms, continuous integration process, and other code deployment methodologies.
• LAMP stack architecture configuration knowledge.
