Job Summary

Are you looking to have an impact on a large technology organization and the work of thousands of developers? If you are driven and 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.

As a Principal Product Manager (Level 6) on our DevX Strategy team, you are a senior member of the team, where you are empowered to drive and enable Comcast developers to faster delivery of reliable, performant, and scalable software products. You will be a product strategist for our core engineering platforms. You’ll serve as a liaison to our stakeholders and be a key partner to the Comcast development teams. On our teams, everyone has an opportunity to lead; your communication and collaboration skills are just as important—if not more important—than your technical skills.

We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role now or in the future.

About the team

You will join a team of passionate product managers and UX professionals who guide the success of the developer experience at Comcast.  You will work with cross-functional teams and partner with service leads to deliver products and platforms that meet both customer needs and business objectives.  The experience we curate is not about what we do; it is about how we make developers feel throughout the journey.  Join us as we mature the product mindset and apply lean product practices that promote early validation and measurement of effective outcomes at all levels of the organization.
