It’s awesome to see The BBC using Elixir! I was wondering how long it would take them, given they have used Ruby in the past
Could you do a write-up of some sort and post it in our #community:showcase-adoption section James? I’m sure lots of people would be interested in hearing how The BBC are using Elixir

@james-bowers Is this position restricted to people in the UK?
NobbZ
Emphasis mine:
So unless “Global” does actually only refer to (former) colonies, its open for everyone.

Hello,
This position is restricted to people in the UK.
The
Country: Globalis in reference to where the BBC operates rather than this job location. I thought I’d write “Global” as it is under the “About us” section, not in the “About the job” section, and we serve international content - but I admit this is misleading.Many apologies for the confusion!

To clarify is this people currently living in the UK or UK citizens outside can apply?
NobbZ
Thats sad, I was going to apply…
