[Remote] Architect 7, Enterprise Architecture

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Comcast is a global company providing comprehensive ad platforms for publishers, advertisers, and media buyers. They are seeking a Senior Architect to promote technology standards, design infrastructure, and mentor teams while ensuring alignment between business processes and technology solutions.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the architecture interface between Product and Engineering, converting market and client needs into pragmatic, end-to-end solution designs for Streaming Hub (SSP/ad server), Programmatic Demand (DSP), Audience/Identity, Measurement, and Revenue Science platforms
• Produce Solution Blueprints, Reference Architectures, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) that balance speed with long-term maintainability, platform consistency, and extensibility
• Guide Product-aligned Architecture Roadmaps, sequencing capabilities to deliver measurable business value while reducing technical debt
• Provide hands-on design leadership for cloud-native (Kubernetes, microservices, data plane/control plane) systems including reliability (SLOs/SLA), observability, security, privacy, and cost controls
• Shape standards for data contracts, identity, consent, measurement, and programmatic interoperability across buy- and sell-side workflows
• Identify and lead strategic initiatives to grow our technical capability, reducing tech debt, improve software quality and velocity
• Establish common practices for teams to ensure end software and systems interact seamlessly with one another
• Advise and support leaders on technical choices and associated risks and rewards on build, buy, extend, customize and deprecate strategies; facilitate architecture reviews; and de-risk delivery with proof-of-concepts and reference implementations
• Reinforce and voice support for grounding principles to ensure architecture designs are stable, secure, scalable, reusable, and operable
• Review and ensure Solution Designs produced both internally and by 3rd party suppliers
• Apply new and innovative ideas to business and technology constraints, champion diversity and innovation
• Develop strategies and guidelines on cloud governance, tech stack selection, capability development and systems deprecation
• Operate as a product-minded architect who frames design choices in terms of client value, market differentiation, and time-to-impact
• Raise the bar on platform thinking (shared services, paved roads, golden paths), ensuring we build once and reuse broadly
• Lead design forums and cross-functional architecture reviews; drive clarity via ADRs and migration plans that teams can execute
• Balance near-term delivery with long-term modernization (domain boundaries, event-driven patterns, data mesh where appropriate)
• Model pragmatism and coaching—unblock delivery teams, simplify where possible, and document patterns others can follow
• Drive results and growth. Contribute to measurable operational excellence (availability, latency, quality, resilience, security, cost) tied to business SLAs/SLOs
• Guide, encourage, and empower teams around you by leaning into problems and encouraging them to do so too. Contribute to talent growth by mentoring architects/engineers and evolving our EA practices and artifacts

Skills

• 10+ years in software architecture/engineering, with 5+ years leading distributed, high-scale, low-latency systems (Go/Java/Scala, gRPC/REST, Kafka/Pub-Sub, columnar/NoSQL stores)
• Designed or led architectures for ad serving and SSP platforms (preferably premium video/CTV), including unified decisioning (direct + programmatic), mediation, forecasting, and yield protections
• Working knowledge of header bidding, deal types (OpenRTB, PMP, curated deals), supply-path optimization (SPO), and auction transparency
• Built or integrated with DSP workflows (planning, activation, bidding, pacing/optimization, frequency management, brand safety, measurement)
• Practical grasp of identity & addressability (e.g., first-party graphs, UID2/PPID concepts, clean rooms), and how buyers/sellers align IDs for targeting and measurement (preferably in CTV)
• Architected privacy-centric audience and measurement capabilities—data onboarding, audience building/forecasting, reach/frequency, outcomes—using standardized signals and ID interoperability
• Kubernetes (multi-cluster, multi-region), service mesh, autoscaling, observability (OpenTelemetry), and resilience engineering; hands-on with at least one major cloud
• Strong security and privacy patterns (OAuth/OIDC, tokenization, encryption, secrets, least-privilege, auditability) and FinOps sensibilities
• Proven track record turning ambiguous business needs into roadmaps, blueprints, and execution plans; excellent communication with senior product leaders, engineering, sales, and client-facing teams
• Bachelor's DegreeWhile possessing the stated degree is preferred, Comcast also may consider applicants who hold some combination of coursework and experience, or who have extensive related professional experience
• 15 Years +
• Experience with live events / live linear ad decisioning, SSAI, or programmatic for live sports/news
• Knowledge of curated supply strategies and buyer curation tools
• Working experience with AI/ML and analytics platforms
