We’re looking for a talented Full Stack Developer to join our small, collaborative software engineering team. You’ll be working with a talented group of developers to modernise and enhance the Monitoring tech stack delivering tools and applications that support trusted journalism around the world. This is a hands‑on role in a close‑knit team where you’ll contribute to both front‑end and back‑end development using React, Django, Python, and AWS.

Day‑to‑day, you’ll work on re‑implementing existing JavaScript front ends into a modern React framework, refactoring and improving legacy applications, and helping to shape new web‑based tools.

While the role covers full‑stack development, current priorities are front‑end focused, making strong React and TypeScript skills especially valuable.
