We are looking for a junior developer to join the digital team at The Spectator to work on some of the industry's best digital products.

To start with, you'll work on our brand new React Native mobile app. You'll be coached by a fantastic app developer who is already part of the team, and who built the app from the ground up.

About you:

• Ambitious - a self-starter. You’ll be immersed in our products, proud of them, and keen to improve them.
