Full Stack Developer

This is a great opportunity to start your career in data by helping us build the tools Play Sports Network uses every day. You'll work across our BI stack and spend most of your time creating practical, easy-to-use front-end applications that sit on top of our existing data models. Your work will have a real impact, as the tools you build will be used across the company. You'll also play a part in developing our central data platform, which brings together all of our key business information., Full-Stack BI Development

• Build user-friendly front-end applications that deliver data and insights to different areas of the business.
• Work with our existing "single source of truth" data models (dbt/BigQuery) to power new tools.
• Take part in the full development lifecycle, from mock-ups and prototyping to deployment and maintenance.

Centralised Platform & Tooling

• Help develop a central platform that makes it easier for teams to access data, dashboards, and insights in one place.
• Work with stakeholders to gather requirements and quickly iterate on features and tools.
• Ensure applications and tools perform well and respond quickly.

Learning & Innovation

• Learn and explore new technologies across the stack - frontend, API layers, and data integration.
• Experiment with AI/LLMs (e.g., Cursor, Gemini, or similar) to speed up coding, prototyping, and bug-fixing.
• Suggest new features or improvements to make our tools more efficient and useful.

Stakeholder Support & Communication

• Work closely with the business to understand their needs and translate them into practical technical solutions.
• Present your work and explain technical ideas clearly to non-technical colleagues.

We're looking for a colleague with a solid foundation in frontend development (React, Vue, Angular, or similar) and good SQL skills, who is curious about data and eager to learn new technologies like Google BigQuery. You enjoy problem-solving, are proactive, and communicate well with both technical and non-technical colleagues. Experience with AI/LLM tools, APIs, cloud platforms, BI dashboards, or data modelling is desirable, but not essential. If you have a genuine passion for technology and a willingness to learn, in this role those aptitudes will take you a long way., * You're comfortable navigating our tech stack day-to-day, writing front-end code, running queries in SQL, and pulling data from BigQuery.

• You consistently follow good coding and documentation practices, so your work is reliable and easy for others to pick up.
• You've completed a small, hands-on project using an AI or LLM tool; for example, to generate code snippets, automate a repetitive task, or quickly prototype a new feature - and can show how it improved your workflow.

Skills & Experience

• You've already built or worked with front-end applications using at least one modern framework (React, Vue, Angular) and written HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript. In this role, you'll use those skills to create tools and dashboards that the business actually uses.
• You've used SQL to explore or manipulate data. Here, you'll apply that knowledge to pull data from BigQuery and feed it into our applications.
• You enjoy solving problems, learning new technologies, and improving the way you work. In practice, you'll tackle real business challenges and find practical solutions.
• You're confident in communicating your ideas and taking initiative. At Play Sports, you'll work closely with teams across the business to understand their needs and translate them into functional tools.

Desirable

• You've already experimented with AI/LLM tools (Cursor, Gemini, etc.) to speed up coding or prototyping. In this position, you'll be able to use these tools to improve development efficiency.
• You've built or contributed to APIs or backend services. Here, you'll connect front-end applications to data sources so teams can access the insights they need.
• You've had exposure to Google Cloud Platform tools, data modelling (e.g., dbt), or BI dashboards (Looker, Power BI, etc.). You'll build on this experience to help create, improve, and maintain the business's centralised data platform.
