Join our team at the Guardian and be a part of a diverse and inclusive global organisation that delivers fearless, investigative journalism, and holds power to account. Our team of award-winning journalists, cutting-edge commercial professionals, and industry-leading digital experts are committed to making a difference and represent a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. We offer a challenging and exciting environment for career development, with a focus on training, growth and fostering an inclusive culture. We are now looking for a Full Stack Developer to join our Publishing & Journalism team.

Much of our code is openly available on GitHub, and some of our projects are widely used throughout the Open Source community. Many of our developers regularly attend and present at conferences.

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 Javascript 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.

• Git / Source control
• Azure DevOps (nice to have)
• SQL / Database testing
• Performance tools (JMeter or similar)

What they re looking for

• 3+ years in software testing
• Strong experience testing web apps + APIs
• Someone who understands how testing fits into the bigger picture

The package (this is where it stands out)
