Company mission
To deliver trusted news and data to help businesses and society make decisions for a better future.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of prior relevant experience in software engineering, programming, or a related technical discipline
- Solid expertise in coding and building scalable, performant, and secure software architectures, adapting policies and practices as needed
- Experience guiding workstreams and applying software quality, automation, and continuous delivery practices
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
- This is a hands-on staff role for a builder who likes variety and visible impact
What the job involves
- Dow Jones is building the AI platform that will change how thousands of engineers across our newsrooms and businesses write software, and the AI Enablement team is at the center of it
- As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you won't build infrastructure in isolation
- You'll drop into engineering teams across Dow Jones for a sprint or two at a time, get them up and running on our AI-assisted development platform, unblock their real friction, and leave them dramatically more productive, then move on to the next team
- One rotation you're embedded with a team shipping against their toughest workflow; the next you're feeding what you learned back into the platform so every team benefits
- You'll help define how AI-assisted development takes hold at one of the world's most trusted news and information companies
- We're a small, high-ownership team, and you'll have a direct hand in a transformation the entire organization is watching
- Manage the design, development, testing, and deployment of scalable, reliable, and secure software applications and services across front-end, back-end, and cloud environments independently
- Handle moderately complex technical cases, recommending practical solutions to optimize architectures, performance, and automation to enable seamless integration and continuous delivery
- Guide and mentor less experienced colleagues while communicating with clarity across product, data, and design teams to deliver integrated, high-quality technical solutions
Our take
Dow Jones is a global leader in news and business intelligence, powering a range of well-respected brands, including The Wall Street Journal, Financial News, MarketWatch, and more. The company delivers its content to consumers through a range of formats, such as print, digital, mobile, and live events.
As companies seek to draw Millennials and Gen Z consumers to their platforms, adaptability is vital, since they are driving the demand for innovative tools and techniques, as the world evolves toward the digital-first era. Dow Jones has proven its ability to meet product optimization challenges with its reimagined Factiva offering that includes a list of new features, such as personalized results, an easy-to-use modern interface, and faster free-text search, all with a mobile-first design that adapts to any device.
The company has also focused on new product innovation by expanding its portfolio of capabilities and partnerships, further expanding into AI-powered personalization technologies and ongoing digital transformation. Already a powerhouse in the market, Dow Jones is well set to capitalize on future expansion and innovation opportunities.
