Job Description

Program Overview  

Discover opportunities designed to set your career in motion! The Comcast internship/co-op program will help you cultivate meaningful relationships, develop strong interpersonal and business skills, gain exposure to the day-to-day operations of a Fortune 40 media and technology company, and receive mentorship opportunities to expand your professional network.  

This program immerses students into the daily operation of a contemporary media and technology company while working side-by-side with Comcast’s top innovators. The student becomes an integral part of the Comcast team working on creative, innovative, and thought-provoking projects within various business units. 

Organization & Team Overview 

Comcast’s Technology, Product & Experience (TPX) organization works at the intersection of media and technology. Our innovative teams are continually developing and delivering products that transform the customer experience. Within the SCAN organization (as part of TPX) resides the Sports, Commerce, and News application across Comcast and Sky for entertainment experiences for our customers.  

Our team, called On-Device Commerce team, is responsible for several pieces of the commerce interface on the Comcast side. We have several applications that we support that help users subscribe to applications on devices such as Xumo Stream Boxes, Flex Boxes, and Xumo TVs. Additionally, we support a BFF (Back End for Front End) layer between the user interface and the upstream services that support the transactional flow other team’s handle. Our goal is to make sure every user can access the app subscriptions available to them when they want, on the device they want to use, without issue or delay. We also support their ability to cancel, upgrade, downgrade, and sometimes bundle those subscriptions.  

 

 

Role Description 

Are you passionate about working on high performing teams that build on device applications that millions of users will see, while getting them to their video streaming app of choice as quickly as possible? Do you like the idea of tackling big challenges with like-minded teammates who all drive towards the same goal of success and high-quality software?  

As a Software Engineer Intern on the On Device Commerce team, you will get to help us with every aspect of our process and work within the team on our engineer goals and tasks. You might fix some bugs to get your feet wet, eventually you could be pair programming with seasoned engineers and getting into the best practices of our methods and contributing to our workload just like everyone else. We work in an Agile Scrum development framework so you’ll begin to understand that flow, if you don’t already, and there’s a wide variety of opportunities in technologies you can take advantage of on our team. Our team handles both middleware and user interface engineering, so there will be opportunities to explore at least both of those platforms.  

What are some interesting problems the student will work on?  

In this role, you’ll help us bolster our operational visibility through understanding and helping build reports for metrics and alerting. You’ll also get deep into our code repositories to help us fix issues and potentially refactor larger sections of code that needs insightful updates. You can learn how to build UI screens and understand the interactions our BFF has with other upstream APIs that help build our experience. There are opportunities to get involved in most areas of engineering, testing, and test automation depending on critical needs and things you’d be interested in learning and experiencing. 

 

Where can this student make an impact?  

You’ll be working with the best and brightest minds in Comcast while we roll out the subscription management applications to platforms you probably know well.  Success in this role is characterized by a higher speed to market, with fewer customer-facing defects and outages as well as a sustained culture of inclusion and collaboration within our team and across teams we work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
