  • Guide significant project discussions, emphasising empowerment and transparency, while focusing on strategic long-term organisational goals.

  • Provide mentorship by engaging in technical decision-making processes, conducting code reviews, and ensuring quality assurance.

  • Drive collaboration and network across teams to foster discussions on technical synergies and integration, such as with microservices.

  • Advocate for and implement distributed architecture and best practices in software engineering, contributing to the Architecture Advisory Forum and Architecture Decision Records.

  • Independent problem-solving skills, with the ability to provide support and direction to the team.

  • A proactive and relentless approach to improve processes and systems.

  • Exceptional command of the English language, with excellent verbal and written communication skills.

  • A history of sharing knowledge, such as published blog posts or contributions to open source projects, is highly regarded.

  • Prior experience in the Media industry is beneficial, but not mandatory.

Inclusion & how you'll work

We are a Disability Confident Employer, and welcome and encourage applications from all candidates. We will look to ensure a fair and consistent experience for all, and will make reasonable adjustments to support you where appropriate. Please flag any adjustments you need to your recruiter as early as you can.

We’ve embraced hybrid working and split our time between unique office spaces and the convenience of working from home. You’ll find out more about what hybrid working looks like for your role later on in the recruitment process.

Your office space

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.

We'd love to hear from you

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.

If you believe in better, we’ll back you all the way.

Just so you know: if your application is successful, we’ll ask you to complete a criminal record check. And depending on the role you have applied for and the nature of any convictions you may have, we might have to withdraw the offer.
