For 85 years, U.S. News & World Report has built a strong and profitable business by providing research and ratings that help individuals and families make important life decisions. While the platform has evolved, what hasn’t changed is our commitment to providing our readers with the highest quality products.
The developers at U.S. News have a great deal of independence and a minimum of overhead. You'll get to experiment with interesting technology and see your work enter production regularly.
The key things we’re looking for in a new hire are excellent problem solving abilities as well as the technical skills to work with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, write legible code, familiarity with languages such as Python or Java, and strong oral and written communication skills.
We have a diverse environment, with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X machines living side-by-side. The majority of our work is in developing and maintaining applications on Python web frameworks, specifically Pyramid, although we also maintain some applications in Java.
Our applications support just about every aspect of company operations, including content management for the usnews.com website, data ranking products such as Best Colleges/Grad schools and Best Hospitals, and other business applications. Developers typically see applications through from beginning to end, working directly with project owners to gather business requirements, front-end engineers to make sure the UI is functional and fast, and the systems team to ensure stress-free deployments.
