Comcast’s Technology & Product 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. As a member of the Services Engineering and Delivery (SED) team you will work other DevOps practitioners to produce mission-critical infrastructure, tools, and processes that enable our systems to scale at a rapid pace. One day might involve performance tuning of a Java web application; the next may be building tools to enable continuous delivery. You’ll investigate and create new systems for scaling development and production. As a senior member of the team you will be expected to work with management, peers, and customers to define and implement the technical vision of the team. You’re right for the job if you’re comfortable with deep technical Linux, networking topics, and distributed architectures. You’ll excel if you have enthusiasm for digging deep, and a flare for sharp technical communication, prioritization and organization. You will design, develop, deploy, and operate web and mobile properties and their supporting APIs at scale. You will work directly with Software Engineering teams to build our next generation, cloud-based, architecture. Where are we headed?
