Italian media and entertainment company with live sports, original content, and streaming services
Sky Italia operates a vertically integrated media business across traditional broadcast (DTT), satellite, IPTV, and OTT platforms, supported by a modern cloud-native tech stack (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, BigQuery). The hiring mix skews heavily toward engineering and data roles (17 of 29 open positions), with senior-level dominance — a pattern that reflects active infrastructure modernization: concurrent projects span CI/CD pipelines, batch and real-time data platforms, ERP migration (Oracle Fusion adoption), and generative AI automation, while pain points center on cloud CRM stability, performance at scale, and compliance (GDPR, NIS2, PCI-DSS).
Sky Italia is Italy's leading media and entertainment company, operating across multiple distribution channels: traditional DTT free-to-air networks (TV8, Cielo, Sky TG24), satellite, IPTV, and streaming via Sky Glass, Sky Q, and NOW. The company produces original Italian television series, broadcasts live sports, and distributes film, documentary, and news content. It also offers Sky Wifi (ultrabroadband for streaming and gaming) and Sky Mobile (launched February 2024 in partnership with Fastweb). Sky Italia is part of the Sky Group, a major European entertainment conglomerate controlled by Comcast. The organization spans 1,001–5,000 employees in Italy and is funded through private equity ownership.
