Tech Trainee Programme 2020/2021 - NENT Group

Are you obsessed with technology and excited by the fast-paced evolution of the streaming industry? Awesome. Then you’ve come to the right place. We are looking for skilled and knowledge-hungry Tech Trainees to our Stockholm office to start working with our Viaplay & Viafree products. This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss out on; to challenge yourself and kickstart your career.

ARE YOU OUR NEXT TECH TRAINEE?

As a Tech Trainee, you will be part of shaping the future of streaming and entertainment. You will join the Nordic Entertainment Group’s Product, Data & Tech organisation and, over the course of one year, work as a contributing team member in several of our cross-functional development teams. You will be covering all areas of the product development lifecycle, from cloud engineering and DevOps to backend development of our micro-services and client-side development of our web and mobile applications. 

You will also get to pursue your own projects with the support of a dedicated mentor, who will be by your side throughout the year. Together, you will work within different technical areas to expose yourself to new ideas and develop your understanding of software engineering as much as possible. As a trainee, you will also get the chance to work closely with five other tech trainees, as a way of drawing insights from one another.     

The position itself is a 12-month paid contract from August 2020 to August 2021, with the possibility of converting into a permanent position. By the end of your traineeship, we believe you will be able to take on the role of an autonomous software engineer, who can navigate your way through different teams to drive results across multiple technical platforms. If you would rather specialize within one field of technical expertise, that is of course a possibility as well. Sounds cool, right? 

THE CHALLENGE AHEAD

Our technical teams are flexible and self-motivated, and work as the creative engine behind all our products and platforms. We take pride in being an innovative company that uses cutting-edge technology. Our technical environment is a dockerized architecture of microservices that runs in AWS. When building our web applications we mainly work with JavaScript (Node.js, React.js & Redux) and Java 11 (REST, HATEOS, Maven, Spring, SparkJava och Vert.X). On top of this we actually build all our products in-house; which is something that not everyone can boast about,given the technical demands of today.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

To take over the reins as our new Tech Trainee we believe that you are passionate about working with the latest technologies, JavaScript in particular. You should be prepared for some solid teamwork in a solutions-driven environment. If you’re passionate about video streaming and entertainment, that would be awesome. 

It goes without saying that we encourage people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply for this position. It is only through our differences that we can truly show strength across all areas of the business and live up to our values – Trust. 

MUST HAVE’S:

• Bachelor degree or higher, graduating in/before spring 2020 
• Programming experience in JavaScript

NICE TO HAVE’S – INCLUDING INTEREST OR EXPERIENCE IN:

• Web frameworks (e.g. React, Angular, Vue etc.)
• Networks and infrastructure concepts (e.g. HTTP, REST, etc.)
• Cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, Azure or Heroku etc.)
• Mobile app development (e.g. Android or iOS)

YOUR NENT JOURNEY STARTS TODAY

If your application is successful and you are chosen to be one of our next Tech Trainees, you will join our dynamic company full of talented people who excel in their respective fields. You will tap into our fun workplace culture – taking part in our sprint demos, lunchtime skills sessions and screenings of Viaplay originals. You will contribute to making NENT the best possible workplace by bringing your own fresh ideas and a “can-do” attitude.
