Overview

At Medium, words matter. We are building the best place for reading and writing on the internet—a place where today’s smartest writers, thinkers, experts, and storytellers can share big, interesting ideas; a place where ideas are judged on the value they provide to readers, not the fleeting attention they can attract for advertisers.

Every month, millions of people discover stories on Medium via search. Often, those readers then create accounts on Medium and go on to become paying members. And for the writers who publish their stories on Medium, they trust us to help their work reach as many interested people as possible, and that journey often starts with the search box.

We’re looking for engineers to help grow and expand our audience and increase our reach. With a strong focus on growth and personal development, Medium is the ideal place to develop your skills in an environment that is built on mutual trust and respect.
