Across our organization, we’re building a workplace where collaboration is essential, diverse voices are heard, and inclusion is the key to our success. We are committed to doing the right thing in our journalism and in every role at NPR. This means that integrity, adherence to our ethical standards, and compliance with legal obligations are fundamental responsibilities for every employee at NPR.

No living in a hot-fix only world.
Our work is in the cloud as well as on-prem. We love open-source tools where they make sense and try to make responsible decisions. A love of documentation and a show-and-tell attitude
