The mission (https://www.nytco.com/company/mission-and-values/) 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.

About the Role

The New York Times app has over a million weekly active users on the Android Platform and supports the New York Times mission of seeking the truth and helping educate the world.

Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence (https://www.nytco.com/company/mission-and-values/) and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.

Basic Qualifications:

2+ years of experience as an Android Engineer using Kotlin including writing unit tests, and UI

Demonstrated experience working in a collaborative team environment

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience using modern Android technologies such as Coroutines and Jetpack Compose
