You’ll never be complete,

and that’s as it should be

We believe that diversity and autonomy drives innovation. We believe that if we work together and continuously learn we will create the best products for our users! And in return that will create the best place for us to work at.

What we do

Programming

We work in agile autonomous product teams who make their own tech choices and are responsible for their product. Many teams gladly practice mob programming. We build for constant experimentation and user testing with everything among others React, Node, GraphQL, Unity, Kotlin.

Growth and Experiment

We strive towards a culture of intensive learning through a data-driven approach to increase the value of our content and services for our users. We work cross-departmentally and experiment with content, publishing, marketing and development to make the users find us and come back.

Open Source

At SVT, we strive to take part in the open source community. We believe that by contributing our resources we add value both to the public and to ourselves, and also foster collaboration culture and openness. We believe that this aligns greatly with our public service mission. Visit our Github. External link, opens in new window.

Design / UX / Accessibility

Design and innovation is at the core of product development at SVT. Our art directors and UX designers work with research, user testing, and creative concept development to ensure that our products create great user experiences, have a clear visual communication, and meet the highest standards of accessibility.

Agile / Mob

We strive to work in a truly agile manner – but we refuse to enforce any agile framework upon our teams. Instead, at SVT the teams themselves chose what they believe work well for them. And quite a few have chosen to mob program or even mob develop – and hey, working together is often more fun than doing it alone, right?

Data and Machine Learning

Data is one of our most important assets. We are building our own data platform to democratise data and insights in our organisation, optimise learning and decision making as well as enhancing our services for the users with machine learning and data-driven decisions.

Video Encoding

We love video and we always think outside the black box. Innovation is a must to keep up with ever-increasing expectations on video quality while keeping distribution costs reasonable. Our video encoding is powered by in-house solutions and industry-standard open source components, running on commodity hardware. We always strive for the best possible quality regardless of the end user device.

Diversity & Psycological Safety

At SVT we believe diversity fosters innovation. In order to build the best possible user experience we need people with different backgrounds and different perspectives, so that we can truly understand our user’s needs.
But having a diverse workforce means little if you don’t feel safe enough to be your true self. Therefore we strive to create a psychologically safe environment, for every individual and every team.

Culture manifesto

Keep calm and act for change

The organic movement of people and potential is in our DNA and helps create calm in an ever-changing world.

Alignment based on goals and purpose is more important than organizational and financial structures.

Onboarding for new collaborations is easy and enables both teams and individuals to contribute where it generates the most value.

We value networking and respect each other’s autonomy and individual focus.

Proud to earn trust

Data helps us get to know our users so that we can meet their needs in the best possible way.

We are transparent about our purpose of using data. We share our insights and learnings, not the integrity of our users.

Data is always treated with care.

Dependent on independence

Our independence is the foundation of our public service mission.

We build accessible, stable services on the web and external platforms to meet our users wherever they are.

We push the limits, challenge ourselves and lead the way to better services for the whole of Sweden.

Transformed by diversity

We welcome a wide range of experience and knowledge in order to tackle complex challenges and build world-class services.

We need to become more diverse, and we recruit consciously based on who we are, as well as on who we are not.

We listen to and embrace a diverse range of perspectives instead of thinking we know everything.

With us, you can be yourself.

For a sustainable future

We keep our carbon footprint down through active, conscious choices and a sustainable mindset.

We build energy-efficient services, work actively to minimize waste, and enable climate-friendly streaming for our users.

We are sustainable service development ambassadors, share our knowledge generously, and push for a sustainable streaming industry.
