Department Summary
DISH is a Fortune 200 company with more than $15 billion in annual revenue that continues to redefine the communications industry. Our legacy is innovation and a willingness to challenge the status quo, including reinventing ourselves. We disrupted the pay-TV industry in the mid-90s with the DISH satellite TV service launch. We took on some of the largest U.S. corporations in the process and grew to be the fourth-largest pay-TV provider. We are doing it again with the first live, internet-delivered TV service-Sling TV-that bucks traditional pay-TV norms and gives consumers a truly new way to access and watch television.
In 2015, Sling redefined America's relationship with live TV. Six years later, we remain one of the country's most influential inventions and a driving force behind the cord-cutting phenomenon. We've achieved our success by filling our offices with people invested in the medium they're building.
Our teams are challenging the status quo and reimagining streaming capabilities. From product development to software design to big data and beyond, our people play vital roles in connecting consumers with the products and platforms of tomorrow.
We are driven by curiosity, pride, adventure, and a desire to win-it's in our DNA. We're looking for people with boundless energy, intelligence and an overwhelming need to achieve to join our team as we embark on the next chapter of our story.
Opportunity is here. We are DISH.
