Staff Software Engineer, Video Platforms

  • Full-time
  • Business Segment : Versant O&T

NBCUniversal is one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies. We create world-class content, which we distribute across our portfolio of film, television, and streaming, and bring to life through our theme parks and consumer experiences. We own and operate leading entertainment and news brands, including NBC, NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC Sports, Telemundo, NBC Local Stations, Bravo, USA Network, and Peacock, our premium ad-supported streaming service. We produce and distribute premier filmed entertainment and programming through Universal Filmed Entertainment Group and Universal Studio Group, and have world-renowned theme parks and attractions through Universal Destinations & Experiences. NBCUniversal is a subsidiary of Comcast Corporation.

Our impact is rooted in improving the communities where our employees, customers, and audiences live and work. We have a rich tradition of giving back and ensuring our employees have the opportunity to serve their communities. We champion an inclusive culture and strive to attract and develop a talented workforce to create and deliver a wide range of content reflecting our world.

Comcast NBCUniversal has announced its intent to create a new publicly traded company ('Versant') comprised of most of NBCUniversal's cable television networks, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel along with complementary digital assets Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, GolfPass, and SportsEngine. The well-capitalized company will have significant scale as a pure-play set of assets anchored by leading news, sports and entertainment content. The spin-off is expected to be completed during 2025.

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

  • Build for Scale : Contribute to the design and development of scalable, secure, and performant systems that modernize legacy platforms.

  • Lean Engineering : Apply rapid prototyping, iterative development, and pragmatic decision-making to drive outcomes.
  • Technical Excellence : Write clean, maintainable code and participate in code reviews to uphold engineering standards.
  • Continuous Learning : Stay current with emerging technologies, especially in Gen AI, cloud-native development, and platform engineering.
  • Mentoring : Mentor the software engineering team to adopt best practices and agile / iterative ways to deliver solutions
  • Required Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud-native architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP), serverless, and event-driven design.
  • Familiarity with SaaS platforms, low-code / no-code tools, and Gen AI technologies.
  • Proven ability to work in cross-functional teams and deliver high-quality software.
  • Experience modernizing legacy systems or integrating with modern platforms.
  • Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with full-stack (backend, frontend, Cloud, Infrastructure) development.
  • Familiarity with distributed messaging (Kafka, Kinesis) and caching (example - Redis, ElastiCache).
  • Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases.
  • Understanding of DevOps practices and CI / CD pipelines.
  • Exposure to startup environments or fast-paced product development cycles.
  • Experience in media, entertainment, or digital platforms is a plus.
  • Additional Requirements

  • This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks. Learn more about the benefits offered by NBCUniversal by visiting theBenefits page of the Careers website. Salary range : $110,000- $160,000
  • Hybrid : This position has been designated as hybrid, generally contributing from the office a minimum of three days per week. Subject to change based on Manager discussion or business need.

    As part of our selection process, external candidates may be required to attend an in-person interview with an NBCUniversal employee at one of our locations prior to a hiring decision. NBCUniversal's policy is to provide equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, creed, gender, gender identity or expression, age, national origin or ancestry, citizenship, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, veteran status, membership in the uniformed services, genetic information, or any other basis protected by applicable law.

    If you are a qualified individual with a disability or a disabled veteran and require support throughout the application and / or recruitment process as a result of your disability, you have the right to request a reasonable accommodation. You can submit your request to [emailprotected] .

    Although you'll be hired as an NBCU employee, your employment and the responsibilities associated with this job likely will transition to Versant in the future. By joining at this pivotal time, you'll be a part of this exciting company as it takes shape.
