DISH is a Fortune 200 company with more than $13 billion in annual revenue that continues to redefine the communications industry.

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. Now we are building the nation’s first stand-alone cloud-based open RAN 5G network. 

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.
