Newsday Media Group is a locally owned, independent media company grounded in journalistic excellence, integrity, and commitment to the communities it serves. With 19 Pulitzer Prizes and dozens of Emmy Awards, it's one of the most decorated news organizations in the country.

The company is in the middle of a significant transformation, expanding from its newspaper roots into a multimedia operation spanning digital, video, podcasts, live events, and data-driven civic engagement. NMG properties include the flagship Newsday and Newsday.com, NewsdayTV, the Newsday Live events series, and nextLI, a civic research and community forum platform funded by The Rauch Foundation.

A new 130,000-square-foot headquarters in Melville features a broadcast-quality TV studio and multimedia production space. Newsday Live produces a growing calendar of food and wine tastings, author talks, sports Q&As, concerts, and community events. Feed Me, the company's food and dining vertical, includes a web series, quarterly print magazine, and restaurant coverage. Brand 360, the in-house content studio, partners with advertisers across healthcare, education, energy, tourism, and retail.

Newsday's investigative unit has driven real-world change, from prompting schools to replace unsafe football helmets to contributing reporting that led to federal corruption convictions. Community programs include the Newsday Marching Band Festival, CheerFest, Scholar-Artist honors, and partnerships with local nonprofits focused on hunger, housing, youth education, and child welfare.

Description

Imagine leading the engineering teams behind infrastructure that quietly powers some of the world's most demanding workloads—processing billions of container launches every week, orchestrating compute resources across the globe, and enabling customers to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure complexity. That's the opportunity in front of you.

We're looking for a Director of Engineering who thrives in the demanding world of massive scale, operational rigor, and customer obsession. You'll lead the teams building and operating container orchestration platforms that our customers depend on for their most critical applications—where every millisecond of latency matters and customers expect always‑on reliability that we deliver.

You'll be driving the technical evolution of container technologies, workload scheduling systems, and platform infrastructure that must stay ahead of exponentially growing customer demands. Your teams will tackle challenges like supporting diverse customer workloads while balancing security with speed, optimizing container performance at unprecedented scale, and building scheduling algorithms that efficiently pack workloads while maintaining strict isolation guarantees.

You'll have the autonomy to shape both business and technical strategy, the resources to build world‑class teams, and the direct customer impact that comes from operating infrastructure at a massive scale. Your decisions will influence how billions of containers are launched, scheduled, and managed every week.

We need someone energized by operational excellence, who sees on‑call rotations not as burdens but as opportunities to build more resilient systems, who treats every incident as a learning moment, and who believes that the best way to serve customers is to obsess over the details that make systems reliable, fast, and delightful to use.

If you're the kind of leader who can translate complex distributed systems challenges into clear technical roadmaps, mentor engineers to think like owners, and won’t rest until your services achieve operational excellence that sets industry benchmarks, we should talk.

Key Job Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Strategy

Lead engineering teams responsible for building and operating massive‑scale application lifecycle platforms serving thousands of enterprise customers

Build and scale teams focused on system reliability, performance optimization, and customer experience
Implement comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and automated remediation strategies for complex distributed workloads
Drive continuous improvement in operational metrics including latency, throughput, and resource efficiency

Customer Focus

Partner with enterprise customers to understand their container workload requirements and pain points
Translate customer needs into technical roadmaps and feature priorities
Ensure world‑class customer experience through proactive monitoring, rapid incident response, and continuous service improvements
Build mechanisms for gathering and acting on customer feedback at scale

Team Development & Culture

Build, mentor, and grow high‑performing engineering teams across multiple locations
Foster a culture of ownership, innovation, and operational excellence
Establish engineering best practices, code quality standards, and technical review processes
Develop talent pipeline and succession planning for critical technical roles

Experience designing, building, operating, and managing large‑scale distributed systems or web services
15+ years of software engineering experience with 5+ years in engineering leadership roles
Deep expertise in container technologies (Docker, containerd, runc) and orchestration systems
Strong understanding of Linux internals, virtualization technologies, and infrastructure automation

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in Kubernetes, Docker or containers ecosystem
Background in kernel development, systems programming, or low‑level infrastructure
Knowledge of security best practices for multi‑tenant container environments
Experience with cost optimization and resource efficiency at scale
