Gannett's world-class suite of newsroom tools, including our proprietary CMS, Presto, is maintained by our Content Engineering team. Within that team, we are seeking a software developer to join our authoring development group. As a member of our group, you'll help maintain the primary content authoring tool for over 4,000 journalists across the nation, and you'll be joining at an exciting time, as we'll expect you to contribute to our ongoing re-imagining and re-envisioning of the whole suite from top to bottom.

We are looking for a skilled developer who can help maintain our authoring system, but more importantly we are looking for a developer who is eager to learn new disciplines, sharpen their skills, and work collaboratively.

Responsibilities

* Work collaboratively within our team, with stakeholders, and with outside development groups, to create and maintain both core functionality and user-facing features of a world-class content management system.
* Be a part of our autonomous, devops-style team culture, helping take responsibility for front-end, back-end, infrastructure, and testing.
* Work with senior members of our team to plan and execute on solutions for a wide array of coding challenges across the front-end, back-end and infrastructure that comprise our CMS stack
* Consistently follow and continue to help improve our processes including source control, deployment and issue tracking
* Document solutions to institutionalize knowledge for the development, operational, support, and end user communities

Qualifications

As we are constantly reconsidering the makeup of our technology stack, experience in the group of technologies we currently use is encouraged but absolutely not required. These technologies include: Web Standards (HTML/CSS/JS), Node.JS, Continuous Integration (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), Testing Frameworks (Mocha, Karma, Cypress), Docker, Kubernetes, Couchbase, RabbitMQ, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Google Cloud Platform (Storage, Pub/Sub, Spanner, Functions, Stackdriver), and more.

Most importantly to us, an ideal candidate has an interest in full-stack technology and although everyone has an area or two of special interest, our ideal candidate does not want to work in a "silo." Additionally, though not required, we would love to see:

* Demonstrated professional development experience developing and consuming APIs and web services
* Exposure to databases
* Experience debugging and analyzing issues in a complex, service orientated environment
* Practical knowledge of software development methodologies
* Bachelor's degree expected in a technical discipline, but compensating experience may be considered.

Additional Considerations

We'd be delighted if you also had experience with any of the following:

* JIRA and Confluence
* Build automation
* Automated test tools
* Developing and deploying applications hosted in cloud environments
* Working with and developing for media related web sites

Gannett Co., Inc. is a proud equal opportunity employer. We are a drug free, EEO employer committed to a diverse workforce. We will consider all qualified candidates regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity, family responsibilities, disability, education, political affiliation, or veteran status.
