Sky UK&I Technology (Network Information Systems) are pleased to offer two internships in 2024.

In Network Information Systems we work on Broadband and Telephony (including Mobile) provision and assurance back-end applications which serve Sky customers in real time and are directly connected to critical revenue streams.

We work together in a safe and collaborative environment, practicing Agile development, Test Driven Development and Behaviour Driven Development, embracing the latest cutting-edge technology on regular greenfield projects to add new functionality.  

We specifically invite applications from interested female candidates, with Sky having been a founding signatory to Ofcom ‘Women in Telco’ pledge. Sky recognises the significant lack of gender diversity in the IT industry, and we believe that encouraging capable, talented women into technical roles can bring enormous benefits, both to the women themselves, and also to the teams and companies they end up working with. By introducing more women into this talent pool, we hope to increase diversity in the technology teams at Sky.

• Contribute to the design and implementation of our systems.
• Contribute to our department-wide initiatives for innovation.

What you'll bring

• Awareness of Java or Kotlin programming languages, and some experience of programming in any language.
• A passion for writing good quality code.
• Experience of working well within teams during your academic career, or previous work experience.
