At Sky we believe in better

You might know Sky for TV. But we’re more than that. We’re a tech business. We’re broadband and broadcasting, streaming and sports, mobile and magic. And we’re proud to be part of the Comcast NBCUniversal family, creating incredible technology and entertainment that connect millions of people to the moments and experiences that matter most. We’ve already rolled out NBCUniversal’s streaming platform Peacock to our European audiences. Now you have the opportunity to work on an exciting new venture powered by Peacock’s leading, globally scaled technology.

We’re excited to witness the recently announced partnership between Showmax, Sky and NBCU coming to life here in Prague.

Get to know the
Showmax teams

Individual teams have almost 100% autonomy. We set the company-wide direction, but how we approach it is up to each team to figure out in their own way. Each team has its own budget that it uses as it sees fit.

Meet the Sky teams

As people? We’re as diverse as the technologies and products we work with. And from Scrum Masters and Software Engineers to Data Scientists and Solutions Architects, we all bring something different to the table. We support each other to learn, grow and get things done.

Flexible hours are already a reality in many companies in our country. Though, sometimes it's just a buzzword, they talk about it but in fact you are stuck in meetings and cannot influence your work schedule as much. I think the work-life balance is set up well here at Showmax.

Working on the technology for a video-on-demand service is a unique challenge. You'll never get tired of it because there's always something new to learn, and you'll have a great time while doing it.

I think we created an environment with smart people and friendly culture. I love it here because of the people. I like to learn from them. It works like a magnet: People want to get in and don't want to leave.
