Job summary

Were looking for two Junior Software Developers to help us make a difference to our planet by using cutting edge technologies to provide world-leading meteorological information to our customers.

As our Junior Software Developer, the job may be suitable for hybrid working, which is where an employee works part of the week in the office and part of the week from home. This is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement and the location advertised will be your contractual place of work.

Our opportunity is full time, 37 hours per week. Our people are at the heart of what we do and we'll do our best to agree a working pattern that works for everyone.

World changing work

From science to technology, from meteorology to management, and from planning to communication, our expertise helps us stand out as the authority on weather accuracy and climate prediction. We help individuals, industries and government to make better decisions to stay safe and thrive. This is the Met Office. This is who we are.

Were a force for good - focusing on our environmental and social impact
Were experts by nature - always learning and developing to do things better
We live and breathe it - putting our purpose at the heart of decision-making
Were better together - understanding partnerships and inclusivity make us greater
We keep evolving - pushing boundaries to make tomorrow better for our customers

Job description

Are you passionate about technology? Do you love solving problems and want to grow your technical skills?

Join our friendly, innovative team developing cloud-based systems and services that help deliver critical weather and climate data to users across the UK and beyond. This is a fantastic opportunity to start your career in an agile team, learning from experienced developers while implementing technical solutions to provide critical, real-world services that make a difference.

You will engineer solutions using Python and AWS cloud computing to bridge the gap between our data services and the user platforms. You'll help build scalable APIs and cloud-native services that ensures fast, reliable access to our forecasts and observations data, supporting the systems behind the Met Office App, Public Website and other services.

Youll get hands on with the output of our cutting-edge supercomputing capabilities and make system performance, scalability, and reliability essential elements of your work. This is your opportunity to be part of something bigger - developing modern, cloud-based solutions that have a wide-reaching and positive impact, helping millions of people to stay safe and thrive.

Your key duties:

Develop skills while working under supervision to deliver stories in a multidisciplinary team.
Understand and be proficient in different types of testing.
Be aware of but not responsible for security.
Coach and mentor more junior colleagues.

This role is aligned to the Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework Junior Developer role level. Further information is available at https://ddat-capability-framework.service.gov.uk/role/software-developer#junior-developer on the GOV.UK website.
