Comcast’s Technology, Product & Experience organization works at the intersection of media and technology. Our innovative teams are continually developing and delivering products that transform the customer experience. From creating apps like TVGo to new features such as the Talking Guide on the X1 platform, we work every day to make a positive impact through innovation in the pursuit of building amazing products that are enjoyable, easy to use and accessible across all platforms. The team also develops and supports our evolving network architecture, including next-generation consumer systems and technologies, infrastructure and engineering, network integration and management tools, and technical standards. We offer a flexible working environment to balance the need to work independently wherever you choose, with days that require collaboration at one of our offices. Our roles primarily reside inside or around one of our Tech Hubs (Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs, Denver, Austin, Silicon Valley, Washington DC/N. Virginia). Some roles can work virtual full-time if they are not near a Tech Hub, but that is dependent upon the needs of the position and amount of collaboration required.

Job Description

As a senior engineer on the team, you will collaborate with designers, testers, product managers, and other developers across the organization.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills. Examples include effectively leading team discussions to reach a decision, identifying and documenting product requirements accurately, and appropriately informing stakeholders of relevant information.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills that can be applied in a variety of contexts, from triaging bug reports to designing solutions for new feature requirements.
• Experience with RESTful web services, micro-services, and/or event-driven platforms.
• Experience designing services for scalability, performance, and reliability.
• Familiarity with Amazon Web Services. Our team mainly uses Lambda, ECS Fargate, CloudWatch, SNS/SQS, and DynamoDB and occasionally interacts with other AWS products.
• Experience with continuous integration and continuous development processes.
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies and software engineering practices.

This role is the perfect fit for someone who has:

• A passion for code quality and following best practices.
• A habit of seeing the big picture while completing work on a single component.
• The desire to work on a collaborative team where every opinion is valued.
