Full Job Description
Job Summary
About the Role:
We're the Camera Platform team, powering the backend for the video devices in our Smart Home / Connected Living organization. As Smart Home rapidly expands its lineup of connected devices, our charter is growing with it: we're building the platform that turns 3rd-party device onboarding from a series of bespoke integrations into a repeatable, scalable capability - enhancing home security and peace of mind for Comcast customers. The work goes beyond connecting any single device: you'll help build the abstractions and patterns that bring a growing ecosystem of devices online reliably through cloud-to-cloud API and event-driven integrations. This is a Go/AWS-first role: net-new development is in Go, and you'll implement integrations, contribute to the platform patterns the team is establishing, and own components end-to-end as the team grows.

Job Description
What You'll Do
  • Design and build scalable, high-concurrency backend services in Go on AWS (Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, SNS/SQS, SSM)
  • Implement integrations with external cloud platforms via APIs and event/callback models - working with auth/token lifecycle, API contracts and versioning, and rate limits - contributing to the frameworks and patterns that make onboarding repeatable
  • Work with core device-platform concepts - device identity, capabilities, commands, events, state synchronization, and onboarding/deprovisioning - as you build and operate integrations
  • Contribute to mapping device capabilities into our platform, working with technical and business teams
  • Build resilient, event-driven integrations on top of third-party systems - handling async event processing, idempotency, retries, partial failure, and state reconciliation
  • Provide maintenance and support for our existing Java/Spring Boot platform during an ongoing transition, while net-new development is Go/AWS-first
  • Contribute to performance tuning, reliability, and observability improvements
  • Build and ship using AI-assisted development tools as part of day-to-day engineering
  • Participate in architecture and design discussions
  • Take ownership of features and components end-to-end

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of backend software engineering experience
  • Solid backend engineering skills in a statically typed language such as Java or Go (we are Go-first going forward; willingness and ability to ramp to Go required)
  • Hands-on experience with AWS cloud-native services (Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS)
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, and scalability
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions
  • Experience operating production services (participating in on-call, monitoring, incident response)

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
  • Production Go experience
  • Exposure to 3rd-party API/device integration or IoT
  • Experience integrating external cloud platforms or SaaS APIs (auth/token lifecycle, webhooks/callbacks, rate limits)
  • Experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous messaging (e.g., SNS/SQS, queues, streams, pub/sub)
  • Prior IoT or device-platform experience
  • AWS certification is a plus, though hands-on production experience matters more
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills
  • Experience with Spring Boot or Micronaut
