Do you want to work on software that will be seen and used by millions of people? Are you someone who always has ideas about how to make the user experience better in the software that you build? Do you like coming into a development project and being able to start from ground zero rather than inheriting a large code base?
WaPo Labs is hiring for its technology development team under the direction of its Chief Digital Officer. Our team is leading the effort to develop vital products to evolve the online news experience.
THE ROLE
* Self-starter is your middle name; you can take or come up with a high level idea, and run with it
* Ability to project manage yourself if necessary
* A real understanding of databases and what it means to write software that is heavily database-backed
* You can survey what's out there in the open source world, evaluate vendor products, or code it yourself
* Can communicate with technical and non-technical people alike, to show both technical command and functional command of what you are doing
* You're an owner: once something is assigned to you, it is not just a task, it is a mission, and the end goal is to deliver something great that wows our customers
* You're not afraid to crack open an existing code base and bend it to your will
* You like designing software, and thinking through how it fits into larger efforts before you dive in
* And most of all, you care about online news and the future of journalism
