Senior Software Engineers

Description:

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.

Your day will be exciting and diverse. You won’t only ship code; you’ll be intimately involved with all stages of developing the product, predominately focusing on the backend.
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
