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.
We are looking for an experienced mid-level Front-End Developer to join our design and development team at T Brand Studio International in London, the branded content studio within The New York Times Advertising Department. Inspired by the journalism and innovation of The New York Times, T Brand Studio crafts stories that help brands make their mark on the world. We are a team of energetic creatives and strategists spanning offices in London, Paris and Singapore including editors, designers, program managers, technology experts and audience experts who work collaboratively together to create award winning content for leading brands around the world.
As the solo front-end technology expert and developer on our international creative advertising team, you will be responsible for creating all international multimedia advertisements. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the development of our creative projects from brief to completion (from coding to launch). You will work directly with our designers, art directors and creative teams to bring storytelling ideas to life in dynamic, multimedia ad experiences on The New York Times.
Candidates should have previous experience as front-end developer and a proactive, self-driven mindset. Your responsibilities will require you to lead the creation of custom page builds using HTML / CSS / JS / React, Webflow and occasionally other ad products or tools.
To succeed in this role, you will need to work collaboratively with digital designers, as well as program managers, editors and other advertising team members. This person should show themselves to have a deep understanding of CSS, a mobile-first mindset and a fierce dedication to quality. We expect you to stay current with the latest technologies and research new technology advancements to create the best responsive designs. You will have extensive experience in front-end development, demonstrating a genuine passion for the field.
You’ll also need a strong enthusiasm for, and understanding of, New York Times content, platforms and products – which will help you build complex advertising page builds that fit nicely within the New York Times’ premium and trusted digital ecosystem.
This role is based in London, and will be reporting to the Art Director, T Brand International, also based in London.
