Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) | Staff Software Engineer | Full Time | NYC ONSITE

Apply: https://mo.ma/3Isll0b

We have a really exciting roadmap the next few years and I'm looking for an IC counterpart to help lead and build the future of digital product at one of the world's pre-eminent art institutions. We build the moma.org website and a few other touchpoints for visitors, built using a combination of mostly Go/RoR/JavaScript. There are a lot of interesting technical and product challenges that this role will be key in helping figure out, in addition to the technical challenges of a likely re-platform over the next couple years. It's a very unique opportunity particularly if you love art.

Must be located in (or willing to relocate to) the NYC area as we do work at the museum 2-3 days a week. Salary range is $130K-150K USD, and unfortunately no visa sponsorship available. Apply here: https://mo.ma/3Isll0b

I'm just wondering but isn't 150k almost nothing in NYC? Does anyone know what the cost of living is, for instance, for a 3 bedroom apt, etc.

150k is perfectly liveable in NYC, even in Manhattan heart. It’s probably not feasible to have a three bedroom apt in Manhattan on that budget but it’s very doable in the less hot parts of Queens, Brooklyn and Bronx. If you think of moving to Long Island, you can even rent a house with a yard.

You will probably need a partners income if you want to live in a unit where you can raise a child, and will need significantly more for the both of you to raise multiple children.

I'm in the center of NYC so I'll answer this question. Currently, it's about $2,800 for a studio and $3,500 for a one bedroom. If you're single I'd say you need around 120k to live somewhat okay. That's 6.6k a month after taxes so minus about 3k it's 3.6k a month for bills, food, and however else you want to budget the rest. Depends on your lifestyle of course.

If you want a three bedroom then you'd want to live outside of NYC and commute about an hour by train. It'll be around 3k-4k then.

3 bedroom apt in NYC? There's not a lot of those and that's going to be insanely expensive, like $5k+/month for sure.

I lived in NYC for almost a decade and I don't remember anyone having a 3 bedroom.

I lived in 1 bedroom in Astoria (Queens) for $1.5k-$2k

Nonprofit salaries are generally not as high as other sectors. There are still good reasons why lots of people would want to work for a nonprofit, particularly one as prestigious as MoMA. And that is more than livable, even in NYC.

Median NYC household income in 2021 was 70,663. Pretty sure double the median income is a livable wage.

The median household income in NYC is $70,663. We're talking about Manhattan mainly for this job, so let's double that. That's still less than the 150k salary, and this is a single person, not a household.

I promise you, you're not going to be homeless at 150k.

Yeah...what about retirement accounts? If you're not putting money away into retirement, you're either bad at managing money or just scraping by.

Lots of tech jobs pay 150k or less in NYC. I'd think its probably just below median.

Very low for a staff engineer in NYC, but 150K to work in the arts actually seems somewhat competitive to me. Wait until you hear how little most broadway actors/ensemble members make. 150K will take you pretty far if you want to live the bohemian artist life in NY, especially if you want to live in neighborhoods with other artists, e.g. Washington Heights.

> a prospective employer first makes you "consent" to a legal agreement before even getting to employment application

What kind of legal agreement are they asking you to sign off before the job application?

Sounds like CloudKitchens. Cloud Kitchens engineering managers cold emailed and then told you to sign an invention assignment agreement just to do the first call with the engineering manager.
