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 :smiley:

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 :003:

@james-bowers Is this position restricted to people in the UK?

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: Global is 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?
