React Job Details
Our mission is to break down the barriers of today to release the potential of tomorrow. Join us today and release yours.
There are two things that we want to share with anyone considering joining us.
Firstly, we’ve got big ambitions for our colleagues and the future of the organisation. These include our vision that inclusion and accessibility drive every conversation we have and every decision we make. We want our workforce to fully represent the communities and customers we serve, because a diverse business is a better business. We value every colleague, their diversity and the contribution that they make. When we say you’re welcome at BT, we really mean it.
Secondly, the one thing the pandemic has taught us is that a lot of current and future colleagues, where and when possible, want to embrace hybrid working. Therefore, we are introducing smart working at BT. Smart working means having the flexibility to choose, as a team, how and where you work depending on your team’s deliverables and needs; when you are at your shared core location to connect with others and when not. It may not be for every role, and, as part of the recruitment process, you’ll have the chance to discuss smart working and how it might work for the job you are applying for.
About this role
BT’s TV platform supports live and on-demand content for over a million set-top boxes, using a complex combination of suppliers and technologies. As a result, it must be highly scalable, reliable, resilient and continuously expanded to provide new services for BT consumers. We are recruiting a BT TV Web Client Technical Lead responsible for overseeing multiple teams of embedded software developers specialising in developing responsive user interfaces on a range of resource-constrained set-top boxes. The role holder will organise and prioritise their team and activities to meet business objectives by ensuring delivery of releases supporting programme deliveries for BT Consumer, BT Enterprise, EE and Plusnet.
As the BT TV Web Client Technical Lead, you will solve business problems and further business success by applying industry, applications and technical knowledge by implementing solutions. In addition, you will be responsible for ensuring the platform or service is continually evolving to meet changing customer requirements. You should leverage the experience of the relevant BT broad professional communities to discharge these responsibilities. Thus ensuring knowledge sharing extends beyond the functional boundary of the role – especially interaction with equivalent integration, network, security and infrastructure teams from similar large scale platforms (BT.com, RAN, IPP) to share best practices.
