That is where you come in.

We are looking for a SETI (Software Engineer, Tools and Infrastructure) to join the team.

About the role

Your personal brief will be to design and implement technical solutions to the quality issues faced by your team. In doing so you’ll also be pivotal in shaping the culture of your team and in embedding quality throughout the whole development process. You’ll be researching new techniques, tools and processes and encouraging discussion within the team about how and where we can use them.

There is a wide scope for this role, so we are excited about creative developers & engineers who can explore and create solutions for a fast-paced, cutting edge development team. You’ll mostly be programming in Scala and JavaScript, running in AWS, but we use the tool that best fits the problem, and are interested in applicants with experience in any language.

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. Please visit our Guardian Developers site , Guardian Developer blog and our SETI blog for more information about working in the Digital Development team.
