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 London, Salford, Newcastle 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.

Some of the things we love:

Experience with the end-to-end software development lifecycle (SDLC), including requirements gathering, design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance

Developing on cloud based environments like AWS and Azure

Solid understanding of software development principles, design patterns and best practices

Knowledge of writing automated tests and taking a TDD approach to your work

An aspiration for engineering excellence, using knowledge sharing to learn from each other

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.

There's a lot of scope for widening your skills in this role because it allows you to move into different areas, cover lots of ground and really broaden your understanding of how the business works.

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

Are you the right candidate?

We are looking for software engineers who are passionate about code, curious and eager to learn in a team of engineering excellence.

If you loving writing top quality code but don't want to stop there because you're also looking for ways to optimise and improve both structure and design, then the BBC might be for you

Some of the programming language skills we are hiring for include: Java, Python, Typescript, JavaScript and AWS knowledge.
