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.
Mission Overview & Responsibilities:
The Subscriber Experience teams at The New York Times are focused on guiding subscribers to discover and adopt all that The Times has to offer—from the centrality of our news report to our full product bundle—by building meaningful pathways and experiences that create exploration, habituation, and engagement. We are looking for an experienced UX/UI Engineer with experience with design and technology to help shape the future of The New York Times app experience.
This is an individual contributor role reporting to the VP of Product Design for Subscriber Experience. This is a remote-friendly position based in our New York City office.
As a Staff UX/UI Engineer, you will be a force multiplier, driving higher quality outcomes from your colleagues. You’ll collaborate with diverse teams to identify opportunities for enhancing our product experience, designing solutions that align with user needs, team goals, and our newsroom strategy.
We value an environment of learning and collaboration. You'll lend your skills and expertise to grow and support more junior design team members, promote a rich prototyping culture, and attend regular design rituals where you'll receive and provide critiques, and identify opportunities for consistency across the function.
