Software Team Lead (Remote) 

Description

U.S. News & World Report is a multifaceted digital media company dedicated to helping citizens, consumers, business leaders and policy officials make important decisions in their lives. We publish independent reporting, rankings, data journalism and advice that has earned the trust of our readers and users for nearly 90 years. Our platforms on usnews.com include Education, Health, Money, Travel, Cars, News and 360 Reviews.

360 Reviews is a new section of U.S. News focused on bringing our trusted brand of object data analysis to the world of consumer products. It is one of our fastest-growing areas, adding new features and industries every month. The blend of editorial and data content coupled with a variety of partnership integrations provides many unique challenges.

Your role in helping us shape the future:

We are looking for an enthusiastic Software Team Lead with an interest in building dynamic, data-driven products. You would be in charge of a team of developers dedicated to the 360 Reviews team and would be responsible for the success of many of their technology projects.

U.S. News empowers everyone to thrive. The developers at U.S. News have a great deal of independence and a minimum of overhead. By leveraging React.js, Python, AWS cloud, Google BigQuery, data science and other latest technologies, you’ll be driving a major transformation within U.S. News.

We offer a casual work environment. Our offices are in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. We are also open to having this role work anywhere in the U.S.

Are you up to the challenge?

This position requires comfort working hands-on with frontend and backend web technologies. Our developers thrive in a collaborative environment but also excel at solving challenges independently. We use many different technologies and operate in many different environments, and we work together with designers, analysts, stakeholders, and testers to build products as efficiently and effectively as possible. We also believe in perpetual self-improvement, and expect our employees to continue to work towards developing their own skills and the skills of those around them.

As a team lead, you will be responsible for a team of developers working with our 360 Reviews team. You will advise the product managers, mentor and manage your developers, make code architecture decisions, keep your team organized and focused, and keep your projects on track. You will manage personnel, but you will also be a contributing member of the development team.
