GCHQ works to keep Britain safe and secure in the face of wide-ranging threats from cyberspace and emerging technologies. We’ve begun a major initiative to develop a range of rich web applications that help us more effectively interpret data. Using modern web technologies and tools, such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, there’s a chance for you to experiment with new technologies and share that experience with the wider team.

Join us as a Junior Web Developer and you’ll work closely with users through all stages of the development lifecycle, from shaping a solution through to testing and deployment. Throughout, you can be sure of challenges you simply won’t find anywhere else - we use huge, complex and varied data sets. You can also expect development through training and attending conferences, and high-calibre engineers and user experience designers to learn from.

This is a fast-moving organisation that needs high-quality software quickly. That means you’ll need to be able to adapt to constantly evolving user needs. Together with a degree or some experience in software development, you’ll have a background in creating web applications using JavaScript. You should also have an understanding of HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript development, common JavaScript libraries, JavaScript frameworks, Jasmine or QUnit, Handlebars and Git or SVN.
