Job Introduction

Step into the world of the BBC, one of the UK's most iconic and beloved brands, where every working day is as unique as it is rewarding. Every tick of the clock, our content reaches millions of people globally, which is made possible by our top-notch Software Engineering team. They've been instrumental in pioneering innovative products and unique features that have firmly positioned us at the forefront of our industry. We don't merely adapt to an ever-changing world - we set the pace.

We are growing our engineering hub of excellence and looking for Mid-level and Senior Software Engineers with demonstrable backend experience to join our teams in Newcastle, Salford and Glasgow.

We are looking for a range of programming languages including Java, Python, JavaScript, Typescript and AWS skills.

We offer a warm welcome with full support settling in and foster a culture where everyone has an opportunity to succeed. We're deeply proud of our values, which are intrinsic to the way we behave every day. We take them seriously because we want our culture to thrive. We want people to really enjoy working with us and get a buzz from knowing that what they are doing is making a difference and enhancing people's lives.

Our engineers receive 10% development time built into the 35 hour working week. We want to give you the time and space to stay fresh in the ever-changing technology landscape.

Main Responsibilities

  • Software engineers at the BBC are more than just programmers – we’re people who are builders, designers, and problem solvers at heart, people with a passion to make things better for our audiences. You will help innovate and design new features and products, work with the team to build them, and support and grow them after they’re live.
  • As a developer in our teams, you will ensure high quality code is delivered in line with project goals and delivery cycles. You will thrive using agile methods and enjoy working collaboratively and as part of a multidisciplinary team focused on several projects.
  • You will be a hands-on developer with experience taking ownership of projects, code, database architecture and scalability.
  • You will work with principal engineers and team leaders and help mentor juniors in the team, promoting technical standards. Pairing on all aspects of the development process, you will deliver secure, reliable and scalable software within your team.

Some practices we like: 

  • Pair-programming. We like knowledge sharing and learning from one another
  • Shipping great products, not just writing superb code
  • Hybrid work environment. We balance working from home with in-person collaboration.
  • Global view. We work with peers in different geo-locations
  • Mentoring and coaching. We care about each other
  • Tapping into our creativity and learning. You get 10% development time every week to invest in your own learning and development
  • Continuous deployment
  • Working in an Agile environment with strong attention to a well-documented code, unit testing and continuous integration
  • Pragmatism and obsession for simplicity, efficiency and performance
