  • Participate in development sprints, demos, and retrospectives alongside releases and deployment. 
  • Build and manage relationships with supporting engineering teams to deliver work products to production effectively. 
  • Have worked well with data scientists, business analysts, and machine learning infrastructure to connect the dots between business and technology partners. 
  • Develop automated tests for your code, ensuring every function, service, and object is compatible with your team's work and with the many systems within the NBCUniversal system portfolio and cross-device and browser compatibility. 
  • Create documentation for developers and business users to help them understand our products. 
  • Work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team within a matrixed organization, leveraging strong interpersonal skills to navigate system complexities and deploy solutions efficiently. 
  • Deploy to cloud-based platforms and troubleshoot application, cloud, and configuration issues when necessary. 
  • Utilize tools for code & test generation to dramatically accelerate the delivery of features and components you create.

Desired Characteristics:

  • Familiarity with integrating large language models and AI-generated content technologies into applications. 
  • Familiarity with the development ecosystem evolving around LLM integration, such as langchain. 
  • Proven adaptability in a fast-paced, evolving technology landscape, with a strong problem-solving ability and quick learning curve. 
  • Effective communication skills, capable of working collaboratively across diverse teams and navigating a large, matrixed organization efficiently.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
