Senior Software Engineer
Group Technology Product Team
Manchester
We’re developing a new portfolio of innovative products to power the next phase of ITV’s digital transformation. To make it happen we’re growing our software engineering team with the addition of a senior software engineer.
It follows the successful release of a talent payment system that processes payments for the stars of ITV and a product that manages music clearance for ITV shows - all built in the cloud with cross-functional teams who self organise following agile and DevOps principles.
We want to be the most flexible employer in the media. We offer Smart working - whatever your preference, we will support you to ensure we provide you the right environment and work-life balance. Most of the team work from home a day or two a week.

Technology we use
Our cross-functional teams self organise following agile principles, working in a cloud-first environment across both AWS and GCP.
Our in-house developed systems follow a microservices architecture, implemented in Java 11 and Dropwizard, with an Angular front end. Our engineers typically work across the full stack, coding in Java, Kotlin, Javascript, Typescript, CSS, and SQL/Hibernate.
We work closely with platform engineers to build a CI/CD pipeline using Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub, Jenkins, Terraform and Puppet.
We are constantly evaluating our technology choices, and are free to choose what is appropriate for a particular project. Software engineers at ITV MediaCityUK are part of a wider community of engineers based in our offices in Leeds and London. We hold regular Tech Forums.
ITV is a digital technology business. Behind every famous face, every programme and every channel, we have a vast array of systems and processes to manage a company with an increasingly global reach. Technology underpins everything we do from creating great content, supplying it to our viewers, enabling new commercial opportunities and making it easier for colleagues to communicate and collaborate.
