Hi backstagers,
Although I've been a fan of backstage and worked on quite a few products seen here I've never posted before so I thought I'd better introduce myself. I work for the BBC, specifically looking after the digital futures of Radio 1, 1Xtra and Teens. I know it's not normal to post about BBC jobs going here but there are some specific tech roles I thought the backstage community might be interested in.
Basically, the BBC, like other broadcasters, knows it's got loads to do if it wants to continue to engage young audiences. This is where Project T (working title only!) comes in. Project T aims to bring together existing BBC content and make some new multi-platform material for 12-17 year olds.
To help us develop new sites and services for teenagers we're building a small, independent and agile digital lab operating with start-up mentality and capable of iterating quickly. We're currently recruiting software engineers, client side developers, designers, writers and producers.
Based in W1, we see the team working as a close unit with loosely defined roles. We want software engineers that want to write both sort of scripts and CSDs who fancy shooting film and producing!
If you're interested in the future of the web, young audiences and want to get stuff live fast check out this rather embarrassing BBC jobs link http://www.bbc.co.uk/jobs/projectbbct/.
