Job Summary

Comcast’s Global Product Organization (GPO) is seeking an iOS Development Engineer 3 to join the Connected Living Client Application Engineering team. We build and evolve the mobile platform that powers the native Xfinity iOS and Android apps—the one-stop shop for residential customers to view their bill, manage cloud-enabled gateways and smart home devices, troubleshoot their network, and set up parental controls and advanced security. The app serves millions of users and is expanding internationally as partners such as Sky Italia adopt the app. Learn more at https://www.xfinity.com/apps and check out the Xfinity iOS app in the Apple App Store!

Your work accelerates product teams, improves reliability and performance at scale, and elevates the iOS developer experience across the organization.

• iOS OS support strategy: support-drop proposals, deprecation plans, and migration guidance across teams
• Internal Swift frameworks, reusable Swift Package Manager (SPM) packages, and tools that elevate the developer experience for feature teams
• Leading RFCs, proofs of concept, and design/code reviews to standardize architectures and accelerate migrations (e.g., UISceneDelegate, XCUITest, Swift concurrency)

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in technology development or services, including deep experience developing iOS apps in Swift
• Experience with GraphQL (Apollo or similar), Combine, and Swift Concurrency (async/await, actors, cancellation), plus familiarity with modern Swift frameworks such as SwiftUI and Codable
• Strong understanding of iOS authentication, networking, concurrency, and performance profiling using OAuth2 or OIDC, Keychain, URLSession, Swift Concurrency, and Instruments
• Practical knowledge of APNs, push token lifecycle, notification service/content extensions, background modes (remote notifications, background fetch, BGTaskScheduler), and reliability patterns
• Clear technical writing and cross-team collaboration skills, with comfort leading initiatives
• Excellent verbal, written, and presentation communication skills to explain complex technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Passion for platform engineering and continuous improvement, with curiosity for new iOS technologies and self-motivation to grow
• Understanding of business fundamentals with the ability to translate product vision into technical strategy, balance cost and risk, and measure impact
• Experience building at scale on large teams, including modular architecture, internal frameworks, automated testing, observability, and code review
• Experience with testing practices including unit tests and XCUITests, and comfort with TDD where it adds value
• Interest in growing a strong engineering culture that values diversity, inclusion, mentorship, and shared standards
