Are you interested in building interactive stories seen by millions?

We’re working with one of the most recognisable media platforms globally, investing heavily in digital-first storytelling as part of a major growth strategy.

This team sits at the centre of that, creating immersive, scroll-driven, visually rich experiences that shape the news agenda.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building high-impact, interactive stories for web and mobile
• Translating design concepts into fully realised, production-ready experiences
• Creating scroll-driven, animation-heavy storytelling pieces
• Working closely with designers, editors, and content teams in a fast-paced newsroom
• Helping define best practices and scalable systems for visual storytelling
• Mentoring junior developers and raising the bar across the team

What they’re looking for:

• Strong frontend experience (React or Svelte)
• Deep JavaScript knowledge (ES6+, async patterns, performance)
• Experience building interactive/immersive web experiences
• Strong CSS skills (animations, layouts, micro-interactions)
• Experience with GSAP / ScrollTrigger
• Understanding of performance optimisation (bundle size, lazy loading, rendering)
• Experience working with APIs and dynamic data

Nice to have:

• Three.js / WebGL
• Media experience
• Data visualisation

The kind of person who thrives here:

• Comfortable working at a pace and under pressure
• Collaborative works closely with editorial and creative teams
• Creative thinker who can challenge and improve ideas
• Passion for storytelling, not just code
