Job summary

Comcast is seeking a seasoned backend engineer to design and build a scalable, cloud-native device onboarding platform. You will lead architecture for external cloud integrations, and shape how device capabilities map into our platform, primarily using Go on AWS.

Join a team responsible for end-to-end delivery, observability, and reliability while transitioning from Java/Spring Boot to Go/AWS-first development. Collaboration with device vendors and cross-functional teams is essential.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of backend software engineering experience.
• Hands-on experience operating production services (on-call, incident response, monitoring/alerting).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions.

Responsibilities

• Design and build the platform, frameworks, and abstractions that make 3rd-party device onboarding repeatable, scalable, and reliable
• Lead architecture and design for integrating external cloud platforms via APIs and event/callback models — including auth/token lifecycle, API contracts and versioning, rate limits, and operational support boundaries
• Design the device-platform abstractions behind these integrations: device identity, capabilities, commands, events, state synchronization, onboarding/deprovisioning, and lifecycle management
• Partner with external device vendors and internal technical and business teams to understand new devices and define the strategy for mapping their capabilities into our platform
• Design and build scalable, high-concurrency backend services in Go on AWS (Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, SNS/SQS, SSM)
• Build resilient, event-driven integrations on top of third-party systems — handling async event processing, idempotency, retries, partial failure, backpressure, and state reconciliation
• Own end-to-end delivery: design, implementation, rollout, and operations
• Provide maintenance and support for our existing Java/Spring Boot platform during an ongoing transition, while net-new development is Go/AWS-first
• Build and ship using AI-assisted development tools as part of day-to-day engineering
• Set standards for observability, reliability, and operational excellence
• Mentor engineers and guide technical decision-making across the team
