Job Details

Job Description:

You have been working on iOS apps for years. You've heard about the "old days" of Objective-C and are happy to have Swift. You love shipping user-facing features as well as making technical improvements to your codebase. You enjoy prototyping new ideas just to see if they'll actually work. You've played around with React and maybe even deployed a website on AWS.

You're also a news junkie. You get push notifications from several news apps when something newsworthy happens. You might have even published a few pieces yourself. You're looking for more than just another engineering job. You firmly believe in the public mission of journalism and its importance in our society. You want your work to have an impact.

Come join our team at The Wall Street Journal!

We're looking for you to:
  • Design, develop, and test mobile applications for The Wall Street Journal.
  • Work closely with journalists, designers, data scientists, product managers and other engineers to build innovative solutions to current and future newsroom challenges.
  • Provide technical mentorship and drive conversations within the mobile team to improve the development process.
  • Play an active role in the product development process.
  • Keep an eye on technical innovations and changing trends in the mobile landscape.

We'd like you to have:
  • 3+ years native iOS development experience.
  • A strong background in software engineering and web technologies. Previous experience with at least one modern web platform (Node.js, Rails, PHP) is a huge plus.
  • Familiarity with API design for highly scalable services.
  • A natural curiosity and desire to understand and even contribute to the entire technology stack.
  • A passion for news and creativity to introduce new ideas and technologies. If you have a background in journalism, even better!

If this describes you, then we'd love to talk to you!
