Responsabilidades

• Strengthen subscriber identity and access. Improve the integrations connecting authentication, payments, subscription status, and content entitlements so readers can reliably access what they’ve purchased across web and mobile.

• Evolve our publishing platform. Build reusable components, editorial tools, and reader experiences that support the distinct needs of our brands and make publishing easier.
• Contribute to the NYMag mobile app. Partner with mobile engineers on reading experiences, content discovery, and subscriber features. Design APIs and content models that support consistent experiences across platforms.
• Guide incremental modernization. Identify architectural risks and technical debt, improve developer workflows, and balance near‑term delivery with the long‑term maintainability of an established platform.
• Improve quality and reliability. Investigate production issues, strengthen automated testing and observability, and address performance, accessibility, and security across publishing and subscription workflows.
• Champion responsible AI use. Develop and refine AI‑assisted and agentic workflows for implementation, testing, debugging, review, and documentation. Protect sensitive information, validate generated changes, and maintain accountability for the resulting software.
