Hi all, we're recruiting for a Junior Software Engineer position to work on the native Android media playback library at the BBC.

(As the ad mentions, the team is both native Android + iOS, but you would spend most of your time on your preferred platform and we currently have fewer Android devs so would like another!)

The role is hybrid (typically 1-2 days in the office per week) and based in Manchester, UK.
Salary up to £38,200 + we're unable to offer visa sponsorship afaik.

HMU if you ever consider a Remote contract from Poland (just 1 hour away from the UK)!

@Rosie Inman did you flip the numbers?
£38k seems really low for a developer job.
Or is there something I am not understanding about UK salaries?

If remote is available, I am willing to do it otherwise I will be needing visa-sponsorship

@dewildte £38k for a junior in the UK is a good salary. Flipping the numbers would be Lead/very senior levels if your lucky.

I just converted it to CAD and thought it was really low.
But the cost of living in Canada is very high too.
I don't live in the UK so I'm a bit ignorant.

[Kev Thompson]

No worries, Canada/US Salaries are generally lot higher than UK / Europe. you'll very rarely find anything over 100k in the UK but its very common over there.

[Kev Thompson]

I guess it also depends where in Canada you are. if your Vancouver way its probably quite high?

[dewildte]

I'm in the GTA in probably the richest town in Ontario.
We have a lot of celebs, like deadmau5, living in my general area. The average house cost here is 1 million CAD.

[Kev Thompson]

To be fair I’m about a mile south of the BBC office in Manchester and you would be hard pushed to find a 3 bed semi detached house under 700k CAD 🫤
