Full Stack Engineer; Hybrid​/Remote - Build Journalism Tools

We have multiple opportunities for Full Stack Developers to join our Product & Engineering team.

You could be building the products that showcase our progressive and independent journalism, crafting the tools that journalists use to tell their stories or developing the services that allow those stories to be distributed across the globe, and monetised through emerging markets and AI technologies.

• You’ll be coding on the frontend and backend of one of our systems in order to make an impact towards your team's objectives, typically in Typescript and Scala.
• You’ll be working in a cross-functional team, which is empowered to rapidly iterate and release new features.
• You won’t be coding in isolation - our culture is strongly collaborative, whether pair programming with other developers or working closely with editorial and commercial colleagues.
• Sometimes deciding what code to write is as hard as writing the code itself. As an engineer you’ll be involved in product decisions as well as technical ones.
• You’ll be encouraged to grow – we support moving between teams and roles in order to learn new skills and technologies in whatever direction you choose.
• Much of our code is openly available on Git Hub, and some of our projects are widely used throughout the Open Source community. Many of our developers regularly attend and present at conferences.

• As a full-stack engineer, you’ll be comfortable working on the back-end and front-end.
• We typically use Scala and Typescript; you may not be familiar with Scala yet, but you should have a solid back-end knowledge in an equivalent programming language. If you have a Java script background but don’t have familiarity with Typescript, you should be happy to learn Typescript on the job.
• You are excited by the opportunity to shape the future of digital journalism and passionate about web technologies.
• Your interests go beyond just your team's objectives; you are curious about where the organisation is moving as a whole.
• You have a strong interest in growing your skills.
• You can make reasoned choices regarding what technologies to use and when to use them.

We actively encourage applications from groups traditionally underrepresented in the UK media.

We operate in a hybrid environment working 1 day a week from our offices in Kings Cross and 4 days a week remotely.

The salary for new Full Stack Developers at the Guardian starts at £57,000 per annum.

• You’ll have 30 days of annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) with the option to purchase an additional 5 days.
• Our pension scheme is generous; if you contribute 5% then we will contribute 8-12% (depending on your age).
• Employees are given 2 volunteering days annually and the option of payroll giving.
• Season ticket loans are also available.
• You are entitled to life cover, income protection, and eye tests.
• Dental insurance is optional.
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave policies are in place.
• We offer policies on IVF, menopause, baby loss, and trans equality.

We encourage personal and professional growth. Employees have access to a broad range of tools and solutions, and we are happy to support the pursuit of professional qualifications through vocational courses and apprenticeships.
