The platform team is seeking a strong engineer to help grow and develop Conde Nast’s next generation content platform, Copilot. We’re looking for someone that has a proven track record of shipping products with reliable, maintainable code with a focus on APIs and large-­scale backend systems.

Copilot is Conde Nast’s next-­generation content platform. We’re looking for experienced individuals to help lead this small team of motivated engineers to the next level by helping us design and implement a new graph­-based way of storing, querying, and discovering content. It is the fundamental content system that powers online experiences for brands such as GQ, Epicurious, and Vanity Fair. At its core, it is a high-­performance RESTful API to help brands build immersive experiences for their content.

Why come work with us?

The People. We are a team of six engineers that are passionate about the code we write. We love to learn, and likewise want to teach and challenge each other to become better engineers.

The Work. We believe that our job begins when our code hits production. And we gain satisfaction from seeing our APIs used to create experiences by other engineers.

The Code. We are strong believers of “the right tool for the right job.” Our main technologies include Node.js, MongoDB, and Solr, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t open to other technologies.

What are we looking for?

• Strong analytical and problem solving skills
• Intermediate to expert level fluency in at least 1 programing language and willing to learn JavaScript (if you don’t know it already)
• Experience working with, designing, and deploying a RESTful API
• Experience working with and tutoring engineers
• Strong data modeling skills (knowledge of domain­-driven design, preferred)
• Experience with using and/or contributing to FOSS
• Eager to learn about new technologies and implementing these ideas in a production environment

What would you be responsible for?

• Designing, implementing, and documenting APIs for use by other engineers
• Teaching and mentoring other engineers
• Collaborating with your team on new ideas or improving existing ones
• Being included in the on-­call rotation for production support
• Helping us grow our engineering team
