About The Position
We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer who is genuinely excited about technology, continuous learning, and shaping modern engineering practices. This role is well suited to someone who thrives in environments where knowledge is openly shared and engineering teams help set technical direction. A strong interest in Python development, search technologies, B2B services, and AWS-based serverless architectures are your keys to success. This position joins our “Titles and Metadata” organization, a team that builds and maintains global solutions focused on providing efficient and accurate access to NBCU’s expansive catalogue of titles and their descriptive metadata; including cast and crew information, languages, translations, content types, and more. Our group is collaborative, innovative, diverse and focused on providing high-value, scalable features that enable downstream products and teams across film, television, entertainment, news, sports, and more.
