Web

The Web has come to dominate all aspects of journalism unilaterally.

It has leveled the playing field and enabled millions of users to communicate in real-time from different ends of the globe, and the steady march of technological advancement has opened new avenues to discover, analyze report and deliver content across every department.

The Hatchet’s Web team is on the lookout for innovative solutions to smooth internal newsroom operations — maintaining an efficient workflow, archiving and communication — while also maintaining an agile approach to development to better translate information to our audience through the website.

While working for Web, you’ll get hands on experience with current generation languages, practices and software. We use the same technology employed by companies like Facebook (Memcached) and WordPress.com (Nginx) to improve overall user experience every day.

Do Node.js, Symfony, WordPress, Clojure, Ruby on Rails, EC2 or S3 sound familiar? If your answer is yes, then email join@gwhatchet.com for more information on how to prepare The Hatchet for the fast-paced and transforming world of Web.
