KQED Looking for Junior Software Developer at San Francisco, CA Full Time

KQED is redefining public media to be more inclusive, participatory, and community-powered. In a time when misinformation and distrust in media are growing, we are committed to being the trusted journalistic source serving the needs of the Bay Area.

Within this scope, our Digital Product Team develops experiences to serve the needs of our diverse audiences. This includes partnering with editorial teams on essential content, developing new content formats, and building the infrastructure to power personalized experiences.

To support this effort our Digital Product Engineering Team is looking for a Junior Software Developer, who possesses a base of computer science or computer engineering training, to further develop their skills in a professional and modern software environment.

KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.

We value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.

KQED provide citizens of Northern California with a community-supported alternative to commercial media. We provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone and engage audiences to share their stories. We help students and teachers thrive in 21st-century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration- exposing them to new people, places and ideas.

This role will work hybrid between working in and working remotely. KQED requires employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
