Long-form journalism platform with video, podcasts, and subscription products
The Atlantic operates a modern publishing stack combining GCP, Fivetran, dbt Cloud, and Looker for analytics, paired with Adobe Creative Suite, Django, React, and GraphQL for content production and delivery. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 19 roles posted in the last 30 days—weighted heavily toward senior media, design, and marketing roles—suggesting aggressive expansion in video production (new podcast series, social video, YouTube optimization) and subscription growth (group tiers, academic market penetration) rather than engineering-driven infrastructure work.
