CTO Mike Krieger on Instagram New York's New Office, Products, Teams, and Future

By now you may have heard about Instagram New York's (IGNY) newly-designed office located in Astor Place in the historic Wanamaker's building. To celebrate the opening, chief technology officer and co-founder Mike Krieger hosted a special event for people interested in learning more about Instagram careers. Here's what he shared!
  • IGNY is a key growth area for Instagram which is why full stack teams are working on key projects there. By next year, one-third of the entire Instagram team will be located in NYC.
  • As a major engineering, product and partnerships hub, IGNY is home to teams working on machine learning which is core to most of Instagram's products.
  • From the Explore and Home tabs to core Client Mobile Infrastructure and Shopping, IGNY teams are working on impactful products that bring the IG community closer to the people and things they love.
But you should also know these truths uncovered by engineering manager Kristen P. when she sat down to interview Mike Krieger!
  • Favorite burger spot? “Minetta Tavern; I love going every time I’m in NYC, having their burger and a cocktail while reading a book.”
  • Favorite Instagram filter? “Juno, since it’s named after my Bernese Mountain Dog.”
  • Favorite hashtag? “#usinterior for beautiful photos of national parks.”
