AI/SDLC Tooling Engineer

Are you looking to have an impact on a large technology organization and the work of thousands of developers? If you are passionate about reducing cognitive load and toil for developers, then Developer Experience (DevX) Organization is the place for you!  
  
Comcast’s DevX organization creates an extensible ecosystem of solutions, evolving based on deep partnerships, that empower Comcast’s Engineering community to do more of what they love and feel deeply connected to their impactful work.   
 
DevX believes we can make developers happier, more focused, and more innovative. We do this by providing tools and automated processes that reduce the impact non-functional requirements have on our developer’s lives.   We do this by introducing tools that help our developers do their jobs better. 
 
Tooling for engineers is changing more rapidly today than it has in an exceptionally long time as AI-enabled tools find their way into the SDLC.  We are looking for a lead technical engineer to help us find the right places to introduce AI into the SDLC, take part in tools and technology evaluations, be a part of build / buy decisions, and be a part of transforming the way software is built at Comcast.  Part of that means building tools in this space, in partnership with other teams in Comcast, and to our specific needs here.  Another part is evangelizing these sorts of tools and taking part in their rollout planning, training our teams, and being the voice of a new age in software engineering. 
 
If you are looking for a high-impact position in a rapidly changing field where you can apply and hone your engineering and innovation skills, then this role is for you.

In this new role, you’ll be part of a team focused on bringing AI tools to our Comcast engineers to help them build better software, faster.  This team is creating AI platforms that will not only power our internal tools but serve Comcast as other teams use AI (both through ML and LLMs) in their software.   

This Engineer will work with the DevX team in either our downtown Philadelphia HQ or West Chester, PA office. It is not eligible for remote or virtual hire. We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role now or in the future.

How we support you 
In addition to building belonging in your day-to-day job:  

• You will have an opportunity to take part in a week–long Lab Week three times a year – a Hackathon where we test innovative ways to push our platforms and products into the future.  
• You will have dedicated time to learn and teach each other through multiple internal technology conferences throughout the year.  
• You will take part in dedicated technology, leadership and culture discussion forums, book clubs and internal podcasts.  
• You and your teammates will take the time to have fun and build team camaraderie and psychological safety.  
• You will have an opportunity to take part in many Comcast-wide training programs to sharpen the skills you need to lead effectively.

  What you will do 
  Contribute as an engineer building tools and platforms in a software engineering team focused on tooling for our engineers.  Some of the work includes building an LLM platform, creating IDE plugins, and creating software that builds test systems. 
• Help to Integrate AI tools into the software engineering process for multiple roles: product management, program management, engineering, and QA (took this from one of your docs) 
• Support Development of an Enterprise Scale LLM Gateway supporting legal, security, and compliance needs for Internally and externally hosted models. 
• Help review third-party AI tooling to fulfill business needs. 
• Work with other Comcast AI teams to integrate AI systems across the enterprise. 
• Help provide information and promotion of AI SDLC tooling through teams like DevX Dojo. 
•  
  What you will bring 
  Technical experience in software engineering 
• Proficiency in Python, Terraform, and FastAPI 
• As a bonus, experience in TypeScript, React, and/or integrating with LLMs in Python code 
• Demonstrated curiosity and learning mindset 

Where you can make an impact 
The day-to-day life of engineers at Comcast is fast paced and complicated, and it is getting faster and more complicated every day.  In this role you’ll bring real, tangible benefits to the day-to-day work that our engineers do.  Making our engineers faster and better affects many functions inside Comcast. 

The rise of generative AI means a new way of building applications, and you and this team will provide the fundamental pieces that teams using generative AI will need to bring their ideas to life quickly, safely, and with the financial and audit controls necessary to be impactful in Comcast.
