An innovative tech-for-good company in the UK are on a mission to grow their engineering hub in Edinburgh, as they look to bring in an experienced Senior SDIT to their hybrid team. They've been helping hundreds of thousands of people live more independently - and now they're investing big in automation, AI, and cloud tech to take things to the next level. They've got offices in London, Bristol, and now Edinburgh - where they're building out a team of forward-thinking Software Engineers in Test. These roles are part of a wider shift from manual to automated testing, and it's a brilliant time to join as they ramp things up. What's the job? You'll be leading testing efforts across one or more product teams - helping define strategy, guiding best practices, and mentoring more junior SETs.

Job Introduction The BBC's News and Weather Apps are two of the most well-known, well loved and widely used apps in the UK, with many millions of daily users on each platform. This is your opportunity to work with us on the next generation of these products. Historically the app development team has worked alongside a number of backend teams that provide content driving the app. However, we are changing to adopt a new app architecture strategy closely aligned with the Backend For Frontend pattern. This means we are expanding the team to be truly cross-functional with app and backend engineers working alongside each other. This role is to join our growing team of Javascript developers to help us shape our new backend for the BBC News and Weather apps What's our challenge? We face a problem of changing news consumption habits, especially with younger news readers. We know that our current users, those millions we talked about earlier, absolutely love the BBC News app, and that it serves their needs fantastically well. So far, so great... But, we also know that for millions of others the way they consume news is completely different now and that the existing app does not meet their needs. So, the "next generation" of our app will be our answer to not just discovering, and meeting the needs of this new audience, but to bringing both existing and new users together through a well considered, thoroughly tested, highly personal experience. Of course, this is no trivial thing to achieve and will require us to rethink everything from the features of the app, to the way it's architected and importantly the backend that is driving content to the app. This has led us to rethink how we architect our apps backend and we are now beginning to take that forward. Now do you see why we need you to join us? :-) How do we work? The team is formed into groups of developers concentrating on streams of work to meet different audience needs. A wider staff group made up of technical, delivery, product design and UX are there to support the developer groups. As a team we value constant feedback and self improvement. Not sure we're doing things as well as we could? Then just tell us. Everything from Lint rules to how/if/why we write JIRA tickets has been raised and debated and changed. This is your team and we have found that it runs best when everyone believes that we are all doing the best job we can, given the knowledge at hand, our skills and abilities, and the resources available. We value work/life balance as a crucial part of a healthy team, so you can expect some concerned looks if you start opening Pull Requests on a Sunday morning or firing off emails on a Friday night. We also have trained Mental First Aiders in the department if you need them and a private support line if that suits you better. What we are looking for First and foremost you'll have got to this point and be wanting in on what you've read so far. You'll be excited and enthused by the opportunity to work on a project of this scale and be ready to contribute in shaping a brand new system that will drive the next generation of the BBC News Apps. You will have a good understanding of modern Javascript stacks, strong vanilla Javascript expertise and be comfortable in use of Javascript for backend and API development. Our development environment leverages an in-house business layer ( FABL ) built on serverless technologies, providing all the support necessary to ensure developers can get on with the task of creating business logic for products that reach audiences at truly great scale. But you'll also know that the best teams are not just about the code. If you enjoy a culture offering many opportunities to contribute back - whether that's to improve our ways of working or having the chance to teach others - then you're probably going to like it here a lot. You will be working with people not co-located with you, as the team is split across multiple BBC sites. We are remote-working friendly and therefore being comfortable working with distributed working practices is important. What do you get in return? We offer competitive salaries, flexible hours, remote working that emphasises the importance of work life balance. The BBC puts great value into learning and development and you'll have the chance to attend conferences as well as immediate access to online material such as LinkedIn Learning membership. We also offer unique opportunities to grow your career and skills through the BBC Academy - a treasure trove of online and classroom courses (some with accreditation) that can teach you anything from Building Microservices on AWS to Big Data And Machine Learning Ethics to How To Write A News Article . We care about your personal development. It can be hard to set aside time to develop new skills. That's why we introduced Learning Day. Every fortnight we set aside an entire day to allow you to explore your own ideas and career development. Want to get deeper into AWS or delve into GraphQL, this is your chance. We take our responsibility as a public service very seriously and so we take our time to not just talk about things like accessibility, localization, ethics, privacy and security, but to do them to the best of our ability. You'll also get to work with a team that is genuinely diverse, within a supportive organisation. We encourage and celebrate that diversity and champion inclusivity in everything that we do. For example, we've written about how we created our Team Charter and the different Communities we are building within the team and business. As part of that commitment we offer placements to people on the BBC's Graduate and Trainee programs providing those still in the early phases of their career a chance to contribute and learn with us. If you join us you can help by offering mentoring, buddying, pairing and/or coaching. There is also a wide community of practice around web technologies for sharing ideas. We travel to meet each other in our respective cities, we attend (and sometimes speak at) internal/external conferences together, chat on Slack and comment on Pull Requests on GitHub. Role Responsibility You will be involved with all aspects of the software development lifecycle and be proactive in contributing to help formulate, influence and articulate on all technical matters relating to the team. You will have the skills to be able pair and be supportive in coaching and mentoring other team members and be active in promoting best practices within a software development discipline. Are you the right candidate? You may have experience of some, but not necessarily all, of the following: Experienced in JavaScript development, preferably for backends Experienced in developing clean, well structured, well tested code that is maintainable by others Familiarity with a range of test frameworks including Jest Experience of an agile environment, pairing and working within a collaborative team Desirable(one or more) Familiarity in developing mobile optimised APIs Familiarity with Node.js Familiarity with AWS Familiarity with building and/or managing microservice based architectures Continuous Integration/Delivery. Experience architecting and developing backends for consumption by mobile apps. Comfortable working in an environment that moves fast and being able to adapt to changes and seek out ways forward. Comfortable with distributed working practices and making a success of cross-site work. Package Description Band: C / D Contract type: Permanent Location: London We're happy to discuss flexible working. Please indicate your choice under the flexible working question in the application . There is no obligation to raise this at the application stage but if you wish to do so, you are welcome to. Flexible working will be part of the discussion at offer stage. Excellent career progression - the BBC offers great opportunities for employees to seek new challenges and work in different areas of the organisation. Unrivalled training and development opportunities - our in-house Academy hosts a wide range of internal and external courses and certification. Benefits - We offer a competitive salary package, a flexible 35-hour working week for work-life balance and 26 days (1 of which is a corporation day) with the option to buy an extra 5 days, a defined pension scheme and discounted dental, health care, gym and much more. About the BBC We don't focus simply on what we do - we also care how we do it. Our values and the way we behave are important to us.

Job Introduction Are you a creative technical architect (or have the experience to become one)? Do you have an interest in creating world-class websites, apps, and games? Do you want to develop groundbreaking ideas, work with cutting-edge technology, and help the BBC make incredible online experiences? Do you want to work with a range of multi-disciplinary experts, including amazing development teams who focus on best-practice engineering? This is a role to be a Senior Architect in the BBC's Audience Content Experiences team. You'll work on a range of BBC's online products running on BBC online and apps specifically aimed at children. These include Bitesize (used by over 1 million users each week to help study and revise); and our collection of games apps that educate and inspire hundreds of thousands of children. The ideal candidate will be passionate about both new technology opportunities, and new ways in which we can make websites, apps, and other digital services to entertain, educate and inform. It's an opportunity to make a difference, through being inventive and creative, and working with amazing teams. In this role, you'll work with several product and development teams, and be a member of the BBC's architecture team. As such you'll be influencing both the products you are directly responsible for and the wider BBC digital strategy. You'll need to think big-picture on the opportunities, whilst also getting into the technical details of creating products on AWS and other platforms. You'll help make our apps and websites even better. And you'll play a key role in shaping what new children's experiences could be made, so that they excite and delight users. The tech challenges you'll face in this role are tricky. You'll design and support the creation of many different solutions, for Games, Apps, Machine Learning and Server architectures. You'll be challenged regularly and will get to work on some exciting propositions. Colleagues and experts will support you at every step. And there's great opportunity to learn and grow, whilst keeping a good work-life balance. Technology Here are some of the technologies we use. If you apply for this role, we don't expect you to know all of these, as there will be opportunities to learn as you go. Most of our products & services are hosted on AWS. We use serverless technologies such as Lambda, storage technologies such as DynamoDB and S3, and many other services including API Gateway, Cloudfront, Kinesis and Athena. Our web tech stacks are predominantly based on Node.js, with a JavaScript/React.js web frontend. Our apps for children are mostly developed using the Capacitor.js framework and deployed to iOS and Android app stores. Our back-ends are mainly built using Node.js (JavaScript and TypeScript), normally as micro-services with Rest APIs and event-driven patterns. We build our games with a variety of canvas and WebGL based technologies including Pixi and Phaser . We use Python, Numpy, Scipy and AWS Lambda for our data science and machine learning algorithms. For more information on the technology used in this role, see . The day-to-day Culture: In this role, you'll work both with the architecture team and with the relevant product/engineering teams. Every day you'll collaborate with a wide range of high-calibre professionals, of all disciplines. We have an open and respectful culture where everyone's opinions are valued. Location: Most of the teams you'll work with are based in Salford; though some are also in London, Glasgow, and Cardiff. Our offices are great places to work - modern, bright, and well-equipped. Tech: You'll get a Mac laptop, access to great collaboration software (such as Slack and Zoom), and, of course, a range of other tools and software to help you do your job effectively. Growth: This is a flexible role, allowing you to shape it based on how you'd like to grow your skills and career. There are always plenty of opportunities to learn, take on new opportunities, attend conferences, and so much more. Role Responsibility Be a technology leader, in both in the BBC's architecture team, and in the Children's & Education product/engineering team. Develop the technology vision and strategy for your area, maintaining an awareness of the underlying business and technical strategic drivers and challenges faced by the BBC. Develop plans, designs and solutions that take a vision from idea to reality. Understand the technology landscape within the area that you support. Identify gaps, challenges and opportunities, and then use them to develop appropriate solutions. This will involve working with both internal teams and external suppliers. Work closely with colleagues and stakeholders from across multiple teams (including product, delivery, editorial, UX, engineering and architecture). Through collaboration, ensure everyone understands the requirements, strategy, and approach to deliver the best technology solution. Participate in the incubation of emerging technologies, architectures and approaches in order to understand the opportunities of creating new services, or using new technologies. Be able to represent the team in planning and governance meetings within your area(s) of work. Are you the right candidate? If you're the ideal candidate, you'll have experience being a software architect, either officially in a role, or as part of an engineering or similar role. You'll have created websites at scale, and/or mobile apps, and/or powerful backends (APIs, etc.) You may also have helped develop interactive experiences, games, or other products that are especially suitable for younger audiences. You'll be experienced in cloud technologies, such as AWS. And you'll know at least the fundamentals of Internet networking, databases, API design, microservices, security, and other standard technologies in a modern online SOA. Experience in machine learning, voice, or data science, is a bonus. You'll be great at working across multiple teams and with many stakeholders. This role does not involve line management, but a key element of the role is to work with and help more junior members of the team, as a technical expert. You'll be a strong communicator. This role involves a lot of collaboration with both technical and non-technical teams. You'll need to work closely with others on ideas and solutions, and on resolving technical challenges. Overall, you'll be passionate about working as a team on new technologies and opportunities, especially with regard to experiences for younger audiences.

The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity.
