O pozici
Join us and build a streaming platform used by millions. At Sky Czech Republic, we’re building the tech backbone behind some of the world’s biggest streaming services. Ever heard of Peacock in the US or Sky Showtime across Europe, including the Czech Republic? They all run on our global streaming platform — a shared technological core where each service plugs in its own content and brand. Our platform serves millions of users worldwide — Peacock alone reaches over 40 million viewers in the US. Thousands of engineers across the globe help shape it, and our Prague tech hub plays a key role. We don’t just keep things running; we actively push the boundaries of streaming technology together with teams in Lisbon, London, and New York. In Prague, we work across a wide range of engineering domains: frontend development (mobile, TV, and web), backend (Java), platform engineering, content delivery networks, video playback (Golang), and data engineering (Python). Whatever your focus, you’ll work on technology used at truly global scale. What is the plot? Our streaming platform is at the forefront of technology, leveraging modern video codecs, adaptive bitrate streaming, low-latency streaming, and support for live streaming. We deliver innovative features to users while ensuring we maintain world-class playback KPIs and streaming standards, regardless of the device or operating system. The Playback Experience team is building the next generation of observability and KPI automation for our global streaming platform. We want to give teams fast, trustworthy insight into playback quality, release impact and performance regressions at peak event traffic scale.
