From Sky Go to Sky Q & Sky Glass, we take our products to the next level and make them more agile and reliable with every release.
What you’ll do:
Our applications are written in JavaScript, but they may not be traditional DOM based web applications. This means you’ll need to be highly skilled in writing Vanilla JavaScript and be able to help other team members.
  • Developing high quality, testable and performant applications to run on the Sky Q set-top box using our in-house libraries and frameworks.
  • Contributing to the technical direction of the team.

  • Participating in regular showcases of new work to product owners and business stakeholders.
  • Striving for continuous improvement within the team.
  • Take a pro-active role with production issues and release management.
  • Championing best practices in order to develop clean, resilient code.
  • Mentor junior members of the team.
What you’ll bring:
  • JavaScript (JS core, Vanilla JS, experience of multiple framework)
  • Frontend/UI (eye for detail, pixel perfect, high performance, WebGL is a nice to have)
  • Testing processes (experience in unit test frameworks, TDD, BDD, e2e testing)
  • CI/CD/Bash (experience with CI/CD tools, good grasp of UNIX bash commands)
  • Network/web technologies (Familiarity with networking/communication stack, browsers, SPA)
  • SCRUM/Agile (Working in an agile environment, working with POs, BAs, UI/UX teams, planning and estimating)
The rewards:

  • Sky Q, for the TV you love all in one place
  • The magic of Sky Glass at an exclusive rate
  • A generous pension package
  • Private healthcare

How you’ll work – hybrid working

Your office space
Osterley
Our Osterley Campus is a 10-minute walk from Syon Lane train station. Or you can hop on one of our free shuttle buses that run to and from Osterley, Gunnersbury, Ealing Broadway and South Ealing tube stations. There are also plenty of bike shelters and showers.
On campus, you’ll find 13 subsidised restaurants, cafes, and a Waitrose. You can keep in shape at our subsidised gym, catch the latest shows and movies at our cinema, get your car washed, and even get pampered at our beauty salon.
Inventive, forward-thinking minds come together to work in Tech, Product and Data at Sky. It’s a place where you can explore what if, how far, and what next.
But better doesn’t stop at what we do, it’s how we do it, too. We embrace each other’s differences. We support our community and contribute to a sustainable future for our business and the planet.
