Condé Nast is looking for an experienced engineering leader to help build the next generation of Vogue products. You will lead an engineering team in its mission to keep Vogue users entertained and inspired, improving content discoverability and enabling scalable, brand agnostic solutions.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You should be as comfortable in a design review or a pull request as you are in a one-to-one or a performance conversation.
We want you to work in an AI-native way and guide your team in doing the same.
That means treating AI tooling as a normal part of how work gets designed, built and reviewed here, setting clear standards for using it well, and looking for places where it can improve the product for our users.

Line management and people leadership
Line manage a team of engineers, owning their growth, performance and wellbeing through regular one-to-ones, clear expectations and honest feedback.
Coach engineers through career progression, including the difficult conversations, and support each person in doing their best work.
