Our team consists of product managers, project managers, designers, data scientists, and engineers throughout the globe, but mainly co-located in New York. You will have the opportunity to enhance the monetization of BuzzFeed and its media brands by partnering with stakeholders to increase revenue, optimize margin, and have a lasting impact on BuzzFeed’s financial success.

About the Products

BuzzFeed can be the best at monetizing attention based on the functional, social, and emotional aspects of the content it is paired with. Our team supports this mission by maximizing user lifetime value by balancing seamless user experience while expertly optimizing, adapting, and distributing all of our content and advertising. You’ll have the unique opportunity to define how a global media organization scales its business and partners with stakeholders across the company to create a sustainable monetization ecosystem.

What you’ll do

  • Leverage your deep Javascript experience to improve AdTech infrastructure integrated throughout all user facing rendering services and destinations
  • Collaborate with product, design, data science, infra, and other internal partners 
  • Architect features requiring integration with new and existing services
  • Write high-quality code and tests to build resilient services
  • Participate in team wide retrospectives to improve developer workflows and processes
  • Contribute to a laid back but hungry culture of the team

Who you are:

  • You have a mix of frontend and backend experience
  • You have experience integrating data from disparate systems and understand raw SQL
  • You take UX seriously and want to build awesome internal tools
  • You are interested in supporting team members and are passionate about teaching and learning

About BuzzFeed tech stack

We know that good engineers come from a variety of backgrounds and languages – if you don’t know already know the languages that we use, we trust that you’ll learn.

  • Our frontend consists of various JS frameworks, such as React, Preact, and T3. You can go “vanilla js” when appropriate
  • Our backend services are written in Python, Go, or node.js depending on the scope and context of the service
  • Monitoring / Instrumentation is critical for our advertising stack. We use a combination of Datadog, Sentry, and proprietary services
  • We believe in ownership over the entire engineering cycle - the same engineers architect, build, test, deploy, monitor, and run their services using containers on AWS/GCP

A big plus

  • You can go full-stack if you need to (Python, Docker, AWS)
  • Healthy interest in emerging platform level technologies - http/2, service worker, offline storage, etc.
  • Experience with publishing packages (npm, etc.)
