ABOUT THE TEAM / ROLE:

As a Software Engineer on our Agile DevOps team, you’ll play a critical role in powering Comcast’s Video On Demand (VOD) ingest systems—responsible for processing all VOD content across Comcast and our external partners. It’s an exciting time to join us: we’ve recently migrated to a unified, cloud-based platform that streamlines the ingest, processing, and distribution of video and advertising assets at scale.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

In this role, you’ll contribute to designing, building, and optimizing systems that are central to how millions of customers access video content.

Some of the key challenges you’ll help solve include scaling VOD ingest platforms to handle millions of video and ad files, transforming metadata to support Comcast’s X1 platform and partner needs, and building pipelines to transcode, encrypt, package, and distribute video content. You’ll also have opportunities to work directly with external customers to enable service syndication and content origination.
