Department

The Internet Research and Future Services group is part of BBC Research & Development and builds prototypes, develops original research and solves problems. We work across most digital platforms and all BBC services by combining emerging technologies with anticipated user needs to develop applied research. We believe that the best way to think about ideas and problems is to create things and develop concrete examples - we do this to learn, influence and shape.

Our work has a particular focus on the internet and on user experiences. Right now, for instance, we’re particularly interested in making our archive more accessible, personalisation and identity and connected TVs and radios, but new challenges are always emerging. We always have an exciting and diverse set of projects on the go and you can read more about our work on the BBC R&D blog.

• Write maintainable, reliable and well-documented code
• Collaborate effectively with R&D colleagues to develop and exploit new technologies.
• To keep abreast of and contribute to developments in software engineering, open source and related technologies. 

Requirements
