Nova is a publicly-traded telecom incumbent in Greece operating a multiplay platform across pay-TV, fixed broadband, telephony, and energy. The tech stack is infrastructure-focused (Cisco, Fortinet, FreeRADIUS, Ansible) with SQL and Python for backends—typical of legacy telecom ops. Current hiring is accelerating but heavily skewed toward operations and customer support (6 of 12 open roles), with minimal engineering velocity, suggesting the company is scaling operational capacity and revenue-support functions rather than building new capabilities.
Nova was the first company to introduce commercial internet and pay-TV services to Greece and remains a top bundled service provider in the country. The company serves 15% of Greek households and over 40,000 mid-to-large enterprises and public bodies through a retail network of 93 stores across 52 cities. Beyond traditional telecom (pay-TV, broadband internet, fixed telephony), Nova Energy—launched in 2018—extends the portfolio into electric power services. The organization operates with roughly 950 employees across customer operations, support, product, and go-to-market functions.
Core infrastructure: SQL, Python, Linux, Cisco (switching/ACI), Fortinet (firewalls), Ansible (automation), FreeRADIUS (authentication), and Active Directory. Customer-facing systems include Genesys and Avaya for contact-center operations.
Minimal engineering hiring: 1 of 12 active roles. Most hiring is in operations (3), customer support (3), and marketing (2), indicating operational scaling rather than product development.
Approximately 950 employees across Greece, with current hiring accelerating in operations and support functions. Active recruitment in Greece and Canada.
